I stopped by the Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links page and decided to try my hand at one of the listed To Do items:
Wizard of Oz 1
  • I looked at one that was a cartoon - was it referring to the 1939 movie (best known) or the original book?
  • Another mentioned Wizard of Oz as a nickname, but went on to explain where the nickname came from - is this referential to the character?

Finishing up work I started yesterday:
James Avery 16 Most of them for James L. Avery, Sr., who is credited as 'James Avery'. I couldn't decide whether to link them with his full name or his credited name, so I ended up doing some of each.
Chris Brown 20 I know know more about Chris Brown (musician) than I ever had any desire to know.
James Evans 4 I posted a note on Talk:James Evans after doing this work because it seems to be a name that needs a disambiguation page

[edit] 2-Oct-6

I randomly selected some names from the Category:Lists of ambiguous human names page and worked through them:
Chris Brown 4 Picked off some low hanging fruit. This was the first time I'd seen a list of more than 50 links to disambiguate
Joseph Braithwaite 0
Thomas Boggs 1
James Boggs 5 Somehow I got logged out and these were recorded with my IP address
Howard Malcolm Baldrige 0
Robert Atkins 2 Both dietician
Pedro Araya 0
James Avery 0 Note: Need to go back
Mark Andrews (disambiguation) 0
Willie Anderson 1 My last name
Walter Anderson 0 My last name
Tom Anderson 1 The MySpace guy
Tim Anderson 0 My last name
Thomas Anderson 0 My last name
Scott Anderson 0 My last name
Ryan Anderson 0 My last name
Roy Anderson 0 My last name
I started this because I went to High School with one of these guys and decided it would make more sense for his links to go to his page instead of the disambigution page:
Ryan Miller 8
James Evans (actor) 1 Went back later
John Goodman (football) 1
