la première épître aux corinthiens can't be assigned to 18 because the numbers don't go that high.
It needs to be assigned, unaliased, and then the author name changed.

Hrm. I remember figuring out a good way to fix these back in March (with http://www.librarything.com/author/martin) ... now I just need to remember what the heck I did. This time I will write it down!

Got it. Let me know if you run into others of these. I've written down how to deal with them now.

It would be handy, to have a tool that will show any active or formerly-active split-alias so that these can be assigned by members. But in the meantime, I can definitely help with them when they come up.

Thanks, Jeremy. Here's another.

Reign of Love (Evangelical Heritage) can't be assigned to 15 because the numbers don't go that high.
It needs to be assigned, unaliased, and then the author name changed to Andrew Murray.
