Person names disambiguation

I am currently doing a project on person name disambiguation. The idea behind the project, that it will be able to identify the correct person, when there are multiple people with the same name. I have used wikipedia for this. I want to evaluate my project on some standard data. I am looking for some testing data. I am not familiar with popular names in wikipedia. Any idea, where I can find this data? I am not looking for vast amounts of data. I am just looking for some 100-500 examples.

Thank you

Adding more information to the question.

What I am looking for is of people with same names but are actually different. For ex, Michael Jordon is a famous basketball player and there is also a statistician with that name. I am looking for examples like this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jordan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_I._Jordan

Hope, you understand the question now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Redirects_to_disambiguation_pages is a huge list of disambiguation pages on wikipedia. Every page linked from that contains links of pages of ambiguous names of things. Is that what you're looking for?

wondering why can't you use the names on SO users: https://stackoverflow.com/users?tab=reputation

it is already ranked by rep - so you know the "popular names".
