Combining/Separating (Please Fix This Book!) Request Thread #62

THIS THREAD is for LibraryThing Members, and especially for “beginners,” to ask help and learn about combining and separating specific LibraryThing Works.
-- If a book is combined with other, very different books.
-- If a book won’t combine with others just like it.
-- If problems with any Work are overwhelming, or maybe you just don’t have time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHEN YOU POST:
-- Please give Titles, Authors, hyperlinks, and other information that will help.
-- If you post multiple requests at once, please number each group. Examples:

“Please combine:
#1: The Story of the Life of You
http://www.librarything.com/work/AAAAAAAA
http://www.librarything.com/work/BBBBBBBB
#2: The Story of the Life of Everyone Else
http://www.librarything.com/work/XXXXXXXX
http://www.librarything.com/work/YYYYYYYY
http://www.librarything.com/work/ZZZZZZZZ ”

-- Ask about sets of Works or Series pages, ask for opinions, or ask for help with specific languages, subjects, etc.; but please be brief.
-- Please do not give Search pages, Author pages, or groups of “possibles,” unless you have a specific question.
-- “Someone will be with you shortly.” Most requests are handled by our fellow LibraryThing Members, not by staff.
-- If you add to a post, please use “ETA:” or “EDIT:” to show what’s new.
-- Please note when a request is “DONE.”

Please fix this, if possible. Or explain why it shouldn't be fixed.

https://www.librarything.com/series/Ladybird+Series+561 is the series page for the Ladybird 561's. ALL of the titles have the same author listed, but I know for a fact that he or she is not the author of quite a few of them. For example, I have the Ladybird Kings and Queens Book 1 and Book 2
https://www.librarything.com/work/1718426
https://www.librarything.com/work/212578
The author is Brenda Ralph Lewis https://www.librarything.com/author/lewisbrendaralph; these two titles are not listed in her works list...but they are mentioned in a lengthy disambiguation note as being authored by her.

As one may see from the Touchstones, the author is wrong: L. Du Garde Peach is not the author (although he authored a number of Ladybird titles)

According to my copies of Kings and Queens Books 1 & 2, L. Du Garde Peach is the author and Frank Hampson is the illustrator.

I've done some digging on book 1. Looking around, it seems that the first edition came out in 1968, credited to Peach. Peach died in 1974. A revised edition is credited Ralph-Lewis, Brenda, Illustrated by Leigh-Pemberton, John & Robinson, Peter. My source for that did not give a date.

I have set other authors and disambiguation notice accordingly. (The first Lewis entry said editor, and I left it that way.)

MarthaJeanne, thanks for setting me straight. For future reference does 'aliassing' refer to editing done through the disambiguation division page? to dividing rather than combining there? Ta.

Aliasing is saying that a single author of a divided author page is the same as the author of another page, and that those books should show up there as well.

As opposed to combining, if John Smith (1) is aliased to John Stanley Smith, there will still be separate pages and all the John Smith (1) books will show on the John Stanley Smith page, but not vice versa.

The dividing process has to be done separately and saved. Then the various divisions can be aliased if there is a suitable author page to alias to.

this all means I don't work with authors, I keep myself to combining and separating works :)

>4 MarthaJeanne: MarthaJeanne Thank you for the detective work on Kings and Queens Book 1. It seems wrong to me though, that it isn't listed in the author's works, even if it is a revised edition - it plainly credits her as author, with no mention of Peach. I guess the disambiguation notice is as much credit as she will get.

It is on her page now - although in the lower section because of being only some editions.

Your other option would be to decide that the two editions are enough different to warrant separating, but you will not be able to do it cleanly.

MarthaJeanne, I just want to thank you for the clearest explanation of aliasing vs. combining that I've seen.

>9 MarthaJeanne: MarthaJeanne, Thank you!

Now, about (Ladybird Book) Kings and Queens Book 2...the edition I have (1981) is authored by her https://www.librarything.com/work/212578. Can you or someone add that one, too. Is as "editor" the accepted way? Again, there is no mention of Mr. Peach on the title page.

I've done the other authors on that one, too now, assuming that the info is the same as Book 1.

I just added a book from SUDOC:

http://www.librarything.com/work/book/107659505

but although clicking on the title in my catalogue takes me to its work page with 70+ members listing it, I don't, and in my catalogue it appears as zero. I clicked the "recalculate" link but nothing's different so far.

I know from before this happens, but I can't remember why--is it something to do with the source? Do we know why and how to avoid it?

it works fine from the .com site, are you trying from the .fr site?

Please combine these two books. They are both Lucy's Wish (Bluebell Book 1) by Mona Hanna

https://www.librarything.com/work/14621294

https://www.librarything.com/work/14663383

Thank you.

#14

I added the book from SUDOC on .com, only the number of members holding a copy doesn't match what appears in my catalogue and on the work page.

Today the zero has changed to 1, when I click on the title in my catalogue it still takes me to the work page where the number of members is 75, and my name's not on it.

http://www.librarything.com/work/book/107659505

Funnily enough, I combined "julesxxl"'s copy into the main work yesterday, and there he is--but not I. Hmph.

I'm used to seeing delays when some combining is necessary, but mine was just a straight add and it identified the work automatically.

13/17>

I don't think we know why it happens or how to avoid it. The work-around seems to be to try adding it again and then deleting the ghost copies. I just tried a few things with the one book I had that was also a ghost copy. Adding the work from Amazon adds a normal copy, but funnily enough, I could reproduce the problem if I add it again with Overcat matches (aren't those supposed to be the ones that other people have successfully added from?). Anyway ...

The URLs of the ghost copies still had a different work number from the "good" copy (although the ghost work number disappeared once the link was clicked on ... as it has in your URL above), so I tried another thing. I used the "secret" combining method to combine those work numbers, and now all my copies show up on the work. So I suspect that, even though yours was just a "straight add" and not an intentional/manual combination, the autocombiner might be combining work numbers in the background, but in the case of these ghost copies, such autocombinations only seem to get halfway completed.

I didn't combine the work numbers in your case in case you wanted to use them for a bug report.

#18

Thanks, I'll give it a day and see whether it updates.

Ghost copy is right, clicking on zero and now 1 in my catalogue (member copy number) takes me to a blank page. Weird.

Any Combiners interested to tackle Walter Laqueur's Author page? Understanding that editions of The Israel-Arab Reader vary widely in content from one to the next, I tried sorting, separating and organizing them in a Series ( http://www.librarything.com/series/The+Israel-Arab+Reader ) some time ago, but I've not gotten back to study and straighten out Walter's other works. (Thomas Laqueur's another matter -- his page is done!) Thanks for your consideration.

>20 jasbro:
Besides a few non-English works not combined into their English-lang counterparts (which seems to be true for most author pages :-)) it's not immediately obvious to me from a look at his combine/separate page what else needs to be done (but I'm not familiar with the author).

As for the different editions of The Israel-Arab Reader, I strongly recommend you add disambiguation messages to each of the different works/editions. I currently only see one on the 6th edition. Without them, your hard work is bound to be undone (the series info isn't visible from the combine/separate page). Or is this the kind of work you're requesting?

Today is the birthday of Daniel C Dennet, and I was reminded of my admiration for him, and went off to look at his books. I noted that there's a stray entry attributed to an unknown author on the disambiguation page, with a German title on the book.

Erasmus en het gelijk van de spindoctor

This work is an essay based on the Erasmus Prize in 2012, and should be joined with the other works for Dennet (1). Here's a review from Goodreads, in addition:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19158217-erasmus-en-het-gelijk-van-de-spindoc...

Please combine this work into the other works of Dennet (1). I'm far too fledgling a combiner to attempt this.

(Sadly, there appears not to be an translation of this; sadly for me, that is.)

Done.

BTW, that is Dutch, not German, and is a translation from English.

>23 MarthaJeanne:, Oh dear. This is not the first time I've confused those, either. Thank you so VERY much for pointing out the original version. I now have a new thing to hunt for (and a cursory attempt says that it won't be easy)

Thanks for fixing things, as always.

>24 Lyndatrue: here's a pdf I found using google - use your own morals about copyright if you want to read it before you buy it ;-)

>25 JerryMmm: Thanks very much. Since it's in a directory of his papers, and he's the one who put it there, I'm thinking that there's no real issue for me to take a copy. I'll still buy a copy if I encounter it in print, though (since I prefer paper).

Did I ever say how much I love LT? I really do.

I just noticed that my book Sources of Western Zhou History (https://www.librarything.com/work/384850/editions/112828) has switched its cover for California's Salmon and Steelhead https://www.librarything.com/work/3576512 . I can't figure out how to fix it. Can someone help?

Since the problem seems to be a bad ISBN - shared by both books, about all you can do is upload a cover.

Strangely, I see the right one on the work page, but the cover page only shows the wrong ones to chose from. In general, choosing a member uploaded cover means the cover will always stay the same. Choosing the Amazon cover means that it can change. But in this case on Amazon that ISBN leads only to the right book with the right cover, I'm rather confused.

Found it! LoC has the wrong ISBN. Both members with the other book entered it from there. One member has uploaded the cover and you have it as best guess for ISBN.

I have told LoC about the problem, which doesn't help you, but may prevent more copies being entered with this error.

Ah, yeah I never leave a cover on "best guess" unless it's one I need to upload my own for (and have noted it for myself) but don't feel like doing at the moment. Otherwise I always make sure I go pick the cover, even if the one guessed is the one I want.

Also to clarify, it's not "in general" but always that a member uploaded cover will remain unchanged. The only reason it was able to switch here was because it wasn't actually chosen at all. But if you have uploaded or chosen an uploaded image, nothing can make that cover go away. Even if it gets flagged as "not a cover" or whatever, it won't change anything in your own catalog.

http://www.librarything.com/author/forresterandrew-1

Forrester was a pseudonym for James Redding Ware, though only Passing English was written under his real name. Forrester had already been aliassed to Ware, but books written as Forrester weren't showing under Ware and vice versa. (Why not?) Since the aliassing had been done I combined the names and got all the works to show on one author page. The problem is the author page is under the pseudonym rather than the real name.

I don't know what was wrong with the aliasing. You can only combine the whole author name, not just one part of it. I have separated them again, redone the aliasing, and they all show up on http://www.librarything.com/author/warejredding

Books by the author they were aliased to will not show up on the page from which they were aliased.

Please fix this author: Andreas Hoffman http://www.librarything.com/author/hoffmanandreas. (The link lists him as andreashoffman)
Thanks!

>33 SaintSunniva: That is one of the things the recalculate link is useful for.

Done.

I've also recalculated on the work http://www.librarything.com/work/13420496 and hopefully the work will soon show up on the author page.

ETA Looks good this morning.

So here's a weird situation that I haven't come across before. I'm trying to combine What Did You Eat Yesterday?, Volume 1 (http://www.librarything.com/work/14404372/) with What Did You Eat Yesterday?, Volume 1 (http://www.librarything.com/work/7902789). Normally I would do this via the author's combine/separate page, however only one of the works currently appears there. If someone could combine these two, it would be great. Also, has anyone encountered an issue like this before?

>35 PhoenixTerran: Done. It's because the author name on the first one was entered incorrectly.

>36 .Monkey.: Thanks so much for your help!

Please combine:

Thank you.

>38 wifilibrarian: Done.

http://www.librarything.com/author/searleadrain

Author's name should be 'Adrian' Searle (not my mistake, for a change). I've combined Adrain with the Peter-Doig-Adrians, but: What is the simplest way to correct the spelling? And in correcting it, is there a way to bypass this Adrian Searle being thrown in with other authors of the same name--to avoid having to disambiguate? Hope this makes sense . . .

>40 bluepiano:
In cases like this I usually do a few things. The error comes from Amazon, so I went to their page, clicked "update product info", and submitted a correction.

Since such a mistake could reasonably apply to any of the Adrian Searles, and is unlikely to apply another person actually named Adrain Searle, in cases like this I just combine the bad name with the correct one. And then I'd split it afterwards. (I wouldn't alias one of the Adrian Searles to the bad name.) So finally a case where it's ok for you to split combined names!

Hi, please combine

>42 wifilibrarian: Sumbuddy beat me to it. (Whoever it was -- thanks!)

>42 wifilibrarian: done

Recently, I was given an old book: Reubeni, Prince of the Jews by Max Brod. I went to the Combine/Separate page to combine my English language edition with the German language editions. While I was there, on this page,

http://www.librarything.com/combine.php?author=brodmax

I noticed that several books by Franz Kafka are listed on the Max Brod page, including Amerika, The Castle, The Diaries of Franz Kafka, and The Trial, as well as Tevye the Dairyman and Other Stories by Sholem Aleichem.

Short of separating dozens of individual entries for each of these titles and recombining them, is there any way to remove these from the Max Brod page? He did write a biography of Kafka, and perhaps this is part of the problem.

Thanks for your help.

He's given Also by credit for having written forwards or epilogues or having edited some of those other works, which isn't a problem.

>45 rebeccanyc:
Several people have requested this behavior be changed to be non-default / optional / filterable / differently designed, since showing the "also by" works on that page can be confusing / look like a bug / make things slower / etc., but no action's been taken yet, so feel free to request it again.

http://www.librarything.com/work/8929473/editions

Most of the editions here are not adridged. The board books are.

>46 jjwilson61: Thanks! It certainly was a surprise to see them there though without any notification on the Combine/Separate page that it's also by.

>47 omargosh: Thanks to you, too. I'll check out that link.

ETA I have posted a recommendation for a site improvement here.

>45 rebeccanyc: If I recall correctly, Max Brod was, for practical purposes, Franz Kafka's literary executor, who actually countermanded Kafka's directive that all work not published during Kafka's lifetime should be destroyed. It seems Brod was torn between honoring his friend's wishes and recognizing his literary gift; after all, didn't Kafka himself remark that his writings were the only children he would ever have? Much as I dislike the notion of a fiduciary's subverting a testator's purpose and intent, I'm grateful for Brod's hand in making much of Kafka's work available to me today. I suspect that Kafka, perhaps more than most, would understand how important forgiveness can be.

>48 MarthaJeanne: I'll take a shot at some re-arrangements here. I gather only the blue-covered ISBN, and maybe some that specifically state "board book" in the record Title, are the abridged versions?

>50 jasbro: i didn't have the time right then to really look into it, and I'm going to bed now.

I don't know about you, but what I see as blue ISBNs are what Skype thinks might be phone numbers.

>50 jasbro: That's very interesting, and I have a vague recollection of the same thing. And I agree with you as well.

>51 MarthaJeanne: Sweet dreams, and take another look in the morning.

On review, it looks like there are three ISBNs, namely 0001720651, 000766141X and 0375828370, which one way or another (i.e., mostly through Amazon) link to board books -- and to some unfortunate reviews from folks who had wanted the complete 1963 original. Particularly for 0375828370, more entries refer to "board books" in their Titles than not, so in the end I only moved records with that ISBN where the Title expressly states something different (e.g., "Beginner Books," "sound recording," or the subtitle -- "The Simplest Seuss for youngest Use").

Incidentally, somebody had started a "Hop on Pop" Series ( http://www.librarything.com/series/Hop+on+Pop ), which I found to be helpful in keeping track of various formats. Although I made use of it in this process, I'm less certain about keeping it as a "proper" Series. What do y'all think?

>53 jasbro: Work to work relationship might be better, but it doesn't bother me as much as some. Someone had also created a Dr. Seuss series, and I was taking that out yesterday when I found this. (I PMed the member, and got a reply.)

I've taken a couple more out, but the ISBNs seem mixed across the titles and covers. The Amazon isn't helpful as they have all the reviews mixed across the versions.

The 1/2 Prince (Traditional Chinese Version) light novels are combined as one work (all except for book 3). All 8 books in the series have separate ISBNs, and all of them are listed separate on Amazon. They are listed together on WorldCat, although this is incorrect because they were published separately.

Can someone fix this or tell me how to fix it? I couldn't figure it out. Thank you!

Edit- On second thought, maybe those are the ISBNs for a volume set and the single works haven't been added to Librarything. I do not know.

ISBNs-
9789867391209, 9789867391513, 9789867391650, 9789867391834, 9789867391841, 9789867303318, 9789867303530, 9789867303806

https://www.worldcat.org/title/12-wang-zi-prince/oclc/849770631&referer=brie...

Edit- Now fixed.

It's very easy. Go to the editions page. The link is at the bottom of the left side. Then click on separate for any edition you want to separate out, and confirm.

You'll have to repeat for each book. The problem is that the titles all look the same to the autocombiner.

Thank you very much! It looks like someone already changed it for me, but I will know next time.

>54 MarthaJeanne: Agreed; the Series is gone, with Work to Work relationships in its place -- and apologies if I've inconvenienced anyone.

Meditations of Marcus Aurelius

http://www.librarything.com/author/fremonjean/names

I'm asking, really, for future reference, as I'm willing to sort out the books on this page. Rather than 'edit the division' there's only the option to 'split the author'. (I presume this is because somehow Fremon is considered a single author whilst at the same time being split into 4 names. Or 3. I can see at any rate how that might throw a spanner in the works.) To assign the books to the right authors I'll need to edit the division starting from scratch, as no works on division-edit page are showing numbers/unknown for various Fremon's. One day I might well come across the same sort of thing which will entail flicking back and forth between LT page and Wiki page in a foreign language for a list of dozens & dozens of books, so I'm wondering if there's a short cut that allows editing a division by working from a separation already made on author page rather than editing from the beginning on edit-division page? . . . Again, I hope this is clear; I know I've not the experience & probably jargon to explain my questions properly. Thanks again.

>63 bluepiano: The real author page is here : http://www.librarything.com/author/fremonjean

You should be able to use "split the author" in the right-hand column there to dispatch the books between the different Jean Frémon, if indeed there are several of them.

It's currently not "divided" in any way, just a combination of various spellings of what until now was assumed to be a single person.

Edit : At a quick glance I'm not convinced it needs splitting, all the works seem to be listed under the same Jean Frémon, writer, art gallery manager and art merchant here http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Fr%C3%A9mon

Edit | More

Somebody may have beat me to 65 & 66. 67 is done; looking at the others ...

ETA: 65, 66 and 71 still are not combined as Authors, but 68, 69 & 70 are now done. I'm not getting combination choices for 66 and 71 at the Author level, even on searching Authors to combine. I searched and found "Mikhail Gorbachev" as an Author to combine with "Mihail Gorbačov" (#65); but I can't tell that it took, even after recalculating each variant name. For 71, I combined apparently-the-same-Works for 71 (and a few obvious instances of others), and I defined "de Saussure, René" as the common for each Work under 66 above; the practical effect is the Works now appear together, although "zero-Work" Author name variants remain outstanding.

FWIW, @timspalding helped us with an Author regeneration for a different fix overnight; see http://www.librarything.com/topic/141088#4643747 . It may be that the Author-combining search feature is still caching, catching up, or -re-setting somehow. Also, some Author Touchstones just aren't taking, even where I attempt to force them. Anybody else having better thoughts, suggestions or successes? Thank you!

Could you combine these two books, please?

Astrid Lindgren has a number of Hebrew and Russian texts that probably could be combined, if anyone can easily read those and wants to do some work.. :)

Thank you JerryMmm, for combining. I don't know when the author search is indexed again, but I can wait. :-) Thanks!

Thank you jasbro for combining!
(They should have titled it Lottie and Lottie, then...?:-P)

I've combined the remaining author names in 65, 66 and 71. I guess we'll have to wait till the reindex is done for authors to be combined the normal way again. I think Tim called that fixed prematurely.

I'm so lost.. but this one's bugging me.

Incorrect:

Author is all fowled up.

Should be:

Amazon link: http://amzn.com/1932714944

Have no idea what to do (if anything) in these situations.

>82 readysetgo: People do make this sort of entry, often with the 'help' of Amazon. (Their own entries often have small mistakes, but the used books can be horrendous.) We can't change that.

Sometimes the right work will show up as a suggestion on the editions page. If not, you can add in an other author and can then combine from that author page. You need to back in and remove it afterwards.

The bad author will still be on that copy, but I'm glad Tim insists that we all has the right to our own data.

I don't think so... that work only has one edition with an ISBN, and it's the ISBN for the other work. That ISBN is pulling in the cover. It would be nice to be able to flag the ISBN as ratty data...

I definitely didn't. I just separated out the Penguin Readers version, but I wouldn't dare combine different abridgments of a work I don't know!

No problem, I just wouldn't want anyone to think I'm a careless combiner :).

>97 SimoneA:-102 Pulled 3 editions out, still a half dozen or so in there.

Okay, this is a tough one (for me, anyway). I see that the translator of Winnie the Pooh (into the Latin, Winnie ille Pu), has an author page for *just* that book, and the name is incorrect. It is Alexander Lenard, not Leonard, and the two authors ought to be combined into one.

https://www.librarything.com/author/leonardalexander

The correct page for him has his other books, but lacks this one.

https://www.librarything.com/author/lenardalexander

Here's the Wikipedia page for the curious:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Lenard

I first tried entering the book in the way the translator was listed (as Alexandro Lenardo, the Latin translation of his name), and suggest that it may also be useful to add that in as an alternative spelling, once this is fixed.

I'd been planning on adding more information to the CK, and his Wikipedia page as well, but I'll hold off until it's cleaned up.

Thanks very much.

The complication is that other authors are listed in two places, in your library and on the work page. The one is your library is listed as Lenard but the one on the work page has Leonard. I think the correct thing to do would be to fix the Other Authors on the work page.

Can someone help me combine this author please?
Scott La Counte

https://www.librarything.com/author/countescottla
https://www.librarything.com/author/lacountescott

He also writes under a different name Scott Douglas, can this be combined too?

https://www.librarything.com/author/douglasscott

I'd also be grateful if anyone could tell me why the above author page for "lacountescott" says no works cataloged when I have a book by him?
This is the book:
https://www.librarything.com/work/12283953/details/98013207

This happens with other books too.

>105 jjwilson61: Okay... I *said* I thought it was complicated. I don't think I have the skill or knowledge to do this. The other authors is one of the symptoms, but (to my knowledge) there *is* no author named Alexander Leonard, so it really should be combined, and then listed as a variant spelling. Does that make more sense?

>107 Lyndatrue: You need to go to the work page of that book, skip down to the Other Authors section, and click on Add/Edit Other Authors. Then you need to delete Leonard, Alexander by clicking on the x on the right and add Lenard, Alexander setting his attributes to Translator, Secondary Author, and All Editions.

>106 wifilibrarian:
I've combined countescottla and lacountescott (for future reference, you can do this by searching for one from the other's page via the "Improve this author" box). The Scott Douglas page is actually at least 3 different people, so I've split douglasscott and aliased the first division to countscottla.

I'd also be grateful if anyone could tell me why the above author page for "lacountescott" says no works cataloged when I have a book by him?

For some reason that particular work (at least from an outsider perspective, not the perspective from your book link) was stuck on the "edition" (edition in LT terms) that didn't have the author, and I had to hit "recalculate title/author" and a reload of lacountescott for it to show up on that page. This happens occasionally, I suspect, if the first copy of a work got entered without an author at first. As for why other copies of books that point to lacountescott weren't listed on the page ... it's because they were stuck with other editions of the same works that pointed to countescottla instead (having been catalogued as "Counte, Scott La") and those copies were winning out. Works will only appear as attached to one author variant at a time (even if some editions of that same work use other variants), so combining countescottla and lacountescott allows for everybody's copies show up in the same place. Hopefully that made sense and didn't confuse your further.

>108 jjwilson61: What I'm trying to do is to take the book that is incorrectly attributed to Leonard and give it to its actual author, Lenard. I'd prefer not to edit the details until someone smarter/more experienced than I does this more difficult task.

Oh, wait. I think I understand what you are saying. If I do this, then it will move? I'm crossing my fingers, and headed off to do it right now.

It does make sense (since it's a CK thing). I guess that'll take care of the other author entry, too. Sorry I'm so slow to catch on to what you'd meant.

BRB

Okay, it's mostly worked. I guess it takes some time for the other entry to disappear from LT, but I'm content that it's close enough. Should I enter the other spellings (Alexandro Lenardo and Alexander Leonard) as alternative spellings of the author on his page, or wait until it's tomorrow, so that the database has time to catch up?

Thanks so much for your help.

>106 wifilibrarian:

Looks like this has been fixed, but maybe I can explain why it gets confusing.

'countescottla' is the author page created when the author has been entered as Counte, Scott La.
'lacountescott' is the author page created when the author has been entered as La Counte, Scott.

If you entered your author as one of those forms, but the book got combined with other copies, the book will appear on the author page that reflects the way the majority of the catalogers have entered the author's name. In other words, majority rules.

If in the future, more people enter using the alternative form, the book might shift to the other page. But since they are both unambiguously the same author, some kind soul has combined the name variants. Now both of those links point to the same page, so the author in your catalog goes to that page, too.

However, it is not proper to combine Scott Douglass, because other people also publish under that name. However, we do have the ability to 'split' the author page, and if feasible, 'alias' the works to the author(s) in question. So, right now, the Scott Douglass page is split, with your Scott Douglas aliased to Scott La Counte.

Hope this makes sense, and thanks to whomever did the work.

>109 omargosh: & >111 PhaedraB:

Thanks omargosh for your help and both for your explanations. I did try searching for the author but in the Improve this author box, but I didn't try Counte, Scott La, which was were I was going wrong. Thanks for splitting the works on the author page to match their authors, if that's the correct way to describe it.

Maybe someone kind who knows what they're doing, as you guys do, could edit the help section page for the 'Splitting an author name" section. Do the numbers that separate out authors have to be sequential? I found some authors today where the number 9 was used but there were only 4 or 5 authors' names listed. I just looked for the highest number and entered 10 to create a separate author page for the author I was adding information for.

https://www.librarything.com/wiki/index.php/HelpThing:Author_split

>112 wifilibrarian:
Err, hmm, yeah, that page can probably use some help. I'll put it on my to-do list (though don't let that stop the rest of y'all :-)).

Others might disagree, but I'd say you did right in starting a new division at 10 (on the splitting page, you can see the history of what other numbers have been used; sometimes the highest one isn't even currently on the disambiguation page ... I usually check here to see what's already been used on the iffy pages like the one you described). There are a few reasons not to reuse divisions, even if they appear not to be used at the time. I'll try to elaborate on that in the wiki.

Yeah, what he said: "Err, hmm, yeah, ... ."

>110 Lyndatrue: Should I enter the other spellings (Alexandro Lenardo and Alexander Leonard) as alternative spellings of the author on his page, or wait until it's tomorrow, so that the database has time to catch up?

Alexandro Lenardo doesn't seem to exist any longer as an author in the system and after recalculating the title/author on the work neither does Alexander Leonard.

>112 wifilibrarian: Do the numbers that separate out authors have to be sequential? I found some authors today where the number 9 was used but there were only 4 or 5 authors' names listed.

Yes, you should use the highest (consecutive) number for new splits. The previous numbers were used at some point, but simply moved off the page because the author of the books previously assigned to This Author (4) has been changed, or the books combined, so now they appear on This Unambiguous Author page.

If you reuse a number, strange things can happen. For example, if someone has aliased This Author (4) to authorthisunambiguous, any books later assigned to (4) will wind up on This Unambiguous Author's page, when they are actually by This Ambiguous Author.

Unfortunately, once all the books split to one author are moved off of the disambiguation page, you can't tell who was assigned the now-unused number unless you document your number assignments in the Disambiguation field. Please, always explain why you assigned what to whom.

Personally, I find Disambiguations that say things like "4) Author, This, wrote The Book S/he Wrote with the Ambiguous Title" is not as helpful as "4) This Author (b. ?)/(birth-death)/(fl. mid-this-century), wrote about railroads/celestial navigation/parlor tricks/physics." If the book mentioned in the first Disambiguation is later moved off the page, it will take more investigating to determine what other titles might reasonably attributed to (4) than would be needed with the second, more broadly informative disambiguation.

Unsure what happened here.

When I went to add my scan of the cover I noticed Covers fron "Lost in the Andies"
I checked my edition and it had the ISBN for Lost in the Andies.
This entanglement is FAR beyond my means for fixing.

The second and the last have an expanded title and are from the 1960s.

The others are from 1920- 1930.

I would combine them into two separate works on that basis.

That sounds good, and I'd presume that the author names should be combined into one.

I would think so.

I did a bit of author combination, and then combined the 2 books from the 60s. They are currently missing from the author page http://www.librarything.com/author/councilthesupremeawq. I assume that it needs time to settle. (Both works were there before combining, and combined from there.)

Current URL for the work is http://www.librarything.com/work/5368209

It's back now.

Thanks

I cleaned up erroneous combinations in the P.N. Elrod Vampire Files series. Someone had combined book three with omnibus 3 (and book 2 with omnibus 2 etc.) I think I have it all straight now, and have all the "contained in" relationships corrected. If something looks wrong feel free to fix it or contact me. I added disambiguation notices on the omnibuses that didn't have one as I think some of those got deleted in the mess/clean-up.

I'm trying to separate out 餐餐有餸加 from all the other books by ABA, but to no avail. Please help.
https://www.librarything.com/work/7888409

I have separated ABA from American Bar Association, divided ABA, and aliased ABA 1 back into American Bar Association. Is that what you wanted? For some reason the page was coming up with 'single author' on, and therefore it wouldn't save properly. Clicking 'divided author' before saving let the division work properly.

As I'd expected when I added a book yesterday, it needs combining.

I added a copy of De Rerum Natura, written in Latin, and expected it to go here:

https://www.librarything.com/work/9452572/editions

It ended up in the other work, in the same manner as the Nepos one I'd added (translations of "On the Nature of Things" in various languages). I would like to move my book from where it is, to the works above.

The book is here:

https://www.librarything.com/work/154820/details/108735245

Here's where my book is combined into right now:

https://www.librarything.com/work/154820/editions/108735245

The disambiguation notice on that work isn't quite clear. I think that the writer meant to say that only translations of the work belonged there, and that the original Latin did not.

The notice on the other set is perfect, and I even copied it off as a good example of how to write one, should I need to.

Thanks for your help.

Anybody familiar with Christopher Moore's The Stupidest Angel? I know there's the 2004 original, http://www.librarything.com/work/7538738 ; and Version 2.0, http://www.librarything.com/work/11726106 (2005). Logically -- which isn't necessarily Christopher Moore's normal way of doing things -- the 2007 Orbit edition (possibly also an ebook?) would likely track the most recent prior edition (2.0); but there's also a Kindle edition, http://www.librarything.com/work/14976174 (2011), which features "Bonus Material." How do these relate to one another? Thanks!

>134 Lyndatrue: I've moved the edition that included your copy. I disagree about the disambiguation notice, as there is no way we can tell if an edition is only that particular version, nor any explanation as to why that version should not be combined with other latin versions.

Given the number of translations that are published under the latin title, and the number of older copies without ISBNs, I think that trying to keep the latin copies separate from the translations is rather futile.

>136 MarthaJeanne: Thanks very much. I appreciate having it fixed. There are an astonishing number of copies in the translation page, but I suppose Lucretius is a very popular author. I think most of my Latin books have been easy, with just the Nepos and this one causing difficulty.

Now I'll be able to add the other information, and provide the review and discussion that it deserves.

While reviewing books I'd added recently, I noticed that there were multiple copies that could be combined into the one I'd added. It took me a moment to realize what was wrong with the author for the majority of them.

https://www.librarything.com/work/11817264/editions/108720371#

The author is listed as "Frederick Warren / Harry Fletcher / Sanford Scott" (or perhaps even "Harry Fletcher; Sanford Scott, Frederick Warren; and Gummere, John Flagg"). The three actual authors are all mangled together.

This is a different problem than I usually encounter. There are (at least) four authors listed for Thomas McCarthy (unsurprising, considering how common the name is), but only three of them have links.

https://www.librarything.com/author/mccarthythomas

The fourth entry appears to be a grab bag of items which were written by someone named Thomas McCarthy, and the book I'd entered is in that. I'm quite sure that the author of Nunc Loquamur wrote none of the other entries in that group.

How does one separate out an author, such that he appears on his own page? This is his current entry at his current publisher:

http://focusbookstore.com/03232.aspx

He's actually written a few more books, but none of them appear on LT. There's a Latin-English dictionary for the Kindle, but I'm waiting to add it until after this is sorted out.

I'd like to know how to do this, but I'm also hoping that someone will do it, and then just tell me how it was done. (I keep notes, so that when it's something easy, I can just do it myself)

Thanks in advance.

> 142, Lyndatrue: Your first link takes us to the Author Disambiguation page for all the various "Thomas McCarthys." Three in particular have been identified, with their respective Works assigned to (1), (2) and (3), respectively; note there are also a number of "Thomas McCarthy" Works not yet assigned to a particular Author of that name, all show near the bottom and attributed to "(unknown)."

If you look to the box at the upper right, see the bit about "Author division"; more specifically, "You can edit the division" includes a link to the relevant, Author-specific division page. There you can assign (or reassign, as needed) individual Works to the correct Thomas McCarthy by number, or if you know this Thomas McCarthy's none-of-the-above, as a distinctly different Thomas McCarthy by the next-higher number (here & now, that's "4").

I'm going to leave it alone for now, in case you would give it a try. Please let us know of your success, and when you're ready to "alias" too. Thanks!

>143 jasbro: Well, that was easy. When you say "alias" is that an additional step I need to do?

Thanks!

Okay, my eyes are officially crossed. I have a couple of Latin books that I was adding. They date from 1964 and 1965. They were republished in 1984 (the eighth for Latin Readings, but More Latin Readings is a reprint of the 1965 edition). I found the author (and managed to combine both versions), and then hit a brick wall.

So far, when I've been combining Editions, LT offers up suggestions, and it's easy. These do not. What am I supposed to do?

The author is Gertrude Drake, and there should probably be just two works instead of the four.

>150 Lyndatrue: So go to the author page. Now in the right hand column, under 'Combine/separate works' click on the author name link. You have now found the combining page for the author.

This is a very good page to do combining from. BTW, I agree. There should be two works here, not four. I've left it for you to do, as this is a very clear example of how it works.

>151 MarthaJeanne: Perfect. Thanks, it's always nice to learn how to do things.

It probably didn't match originally because because I have two people as Editors (and Holmes as the author) and @Treuhaft lists them as Compilers.

They're the same book. The kidskin cover with gold leaf is unmistakeable. They should be combined. I just don't feel up to the task.

I'd like to split an author. I'd added CK items, but then realized that it was at least two, and perhaps three separate people.

https://www.librarything.com/author/knappcharlesl

The author I know about is Charles Knapp:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Knapp_%28scholar%29

As far as I know, there's no initial L in his name. The books I'm sure that he's written are:

https://www.librarything.com/work/5055640
https://www.librarything.com/work/6900570
https://www.librarything.com/work/14821690
https://www.librarything.com/work/14594429

(Although the second and third entries there have similar titles, they are indeed separate works)

Without question, the classical author Knapp is not the author of either book on Lamps (they were published long after his death).

There should be four authors here. One for the lawyer books, one for the classical books, one for the lamps, and one for everything else (currently only the revolutionary war book).

I'd change the disambiguation notice, which currently reads:

"Charles L. Knapp is a Distinguished Professor of Law at Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco. Another Charles L. Knapp was an American professor of Classics."

To this:

1. Charles L. Knapp is a Distinguished Professor of Law at Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.
2. Charles Knapp was an American professor of Classics.
3. Charles Knapp is the author of Designs for Lamps, I and II.

(only using the fancy html organization I found for the disambiguation when I did Thomas McCarthy)

I'm not sure what to write for the last entry. I'm condering:

4. Charles Knapp is the author of Rolls of the Soldiers of the Revolutionary War

Comments? Suggestions? Warnings?

I'd also like to delete the CK entries I'd made, and then put them back in after I'd separated them out. I only know about the classical author. I'll still await commentary before I do that.

>163 Lyndatrue: Several author pages had been combined that shouldn't have been. I have separated them and recommbined into https://www.librarything.com/author/knappcharles

The CK and link on the Charles L. page seems to belong to https://www.librarything.com/author/knappcharles-1.

When things like this show up, it's always a good idea to check what names have been combined.

I'm not going to do the CK. It's 11:30 pm, I still have to wash the kitchen floor before we leave for the airport in the morning.

>165 MarthaJeanne:, I'm the one that put all those items there. You are correct, they all belong to the author of the classical works. I see that someone added a couple of items, which is nice.

I've also added information to Charles L. Knapp, since it was very easy to find, and removed any that didn't belong.

I added a disambiguation notice, leaving out the first author (the lawyer, with the initial L in the name).

It now reads:

1. Charles Knapp is the author of The Aeneid of Vergil.
2. Charles Knapp is the author of Designs for Lamps, I and II.
3. Charles Knapp is the author of Rolls of the Soldiers of the Revolutionary War

It appears that a bunch of books are being listed for a publisher(?) rather than for an author.

>180 Taphophile13:

From checking the "Author" (in this case Publisher) page, it looks like very few of the books by this publisher credit an author. I did some random source checks, and all I found was the publisher listed as author.

As to how it happened in your example, I can only guess that someone combined them, maybe because they thought it was tidier or something. But that's just me speculating.

What can be done is they need to be separated and re-combined where appropriate, the latter of which could be done from the Author page.

(The last has a nondescript name, but if you want to check, it is the same as the second-to-last, with the same ISBN. It just does not show up as a candidate for such combining yet).

>185 andejons: Done. Should Snorre Sturlasson be entered as the author?

>186 henkl:

Not sure. Some scholar have attributed Egil's saga to him; I have entered him as the author on my copy simply because I think it is better than having nothing, but I don't think anyone has attributed Gunnlaug's saga to him.

>187 andejons: Thank you for the information.

Thanks for fulfilling my last request. Here's another one:

I'd like to combine the following editions of the "Oresteia" by Aischylos:

28873, 13176032, 6781087, 13646916, 14797222, 11111026, 14120086, 13658996, 15001570, 14906361

>189 AndreasP: Done; thank you.

Please combine:

Lunch Money by Andrew Clements

Riding Freedom by Pam Munoz Ryan
http://www.librarything.com/work/86259
http://www.librarything.com/work/12419698

>191 bookel: Done.

Would someone like to straighten this out?

There are Junior Vision Books (a series) based on the same title in Vision Books. A title I just entered is combined with its parent, but shouldn't be.

Francis and Clare, Saints of Assisi (A Junior Vision Book) by Helen Walker Homan and illustrated by Hamilton Greene. It is abridged and condensed for "very young readers".

Thanks!

>193 SaintSunniva: It's separated and combined with another copy.

>194 Jarandel: oooh, thanks!

These two are the same:
https://www.librarything.com/work/151542/ (hardcover edition)
https://www.librarything.com/work/737557
(paperback edition)
Please combine.

>196 bookel: Done

0-copy
The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo
https://www.librarything.com/work/1541442
https://www.librarything.com/work/15057152/

Done, thanks.

I combined it into https://www.librarything.com/work/14576890 which seems a reasonable place for a 0 copy edition without an author.

>199 MarthaJeanne: That's the bunch of unspecified stuff (including films) I just separated that 0-copy from, since its title explicitly states it's book 1 of the Stieg Larsson trilogy.

Ah well, nevermind.

>200 Jarandel: Separated it again and combined it with work/1541442.
