Combining/Separating (Please Fix This Book!) Request Thread #68

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.”

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

NOTES:
-- If two works have more than 200 records each, LibraryThing staff may need to do the combining. Please post these requests to: http://www.librarything.com/topic/95602 .
-- For information and discussion, but not problems, please see the Combiner’s Group Information, FAQ & Discussion Thread: http://www.librarything.com/topic/57164 .

-- When this thread reaches 200 posts, please do not post here but start a new Thread. Threads under 200 posts load faster and are easier to navigate. Please copy these notes as post #1 of the new thread. Thank you.

It's all great, except that it should have been request thread #68 (the last one was #67)

ETA: Now fixed. The multiverse that is Library Thing has righted itself. What a relief! :-}

One quick question.
I did typo with a book title. Later noticed that there were many 0 copy edition created. I presume one for each typo save.

Is it expected that each save with a different typo creates new edition?
Is that possible to purge to 0 copy editions?
And, should I place request here?

>3 sandeepkm:

Yes, it's expected. Tim considers it a "feature". No, it's not possible to purge them; Tim considers them a "feature". So there's no place to put a request, I'm afraid.

>3 sandeepkm: They should not be separated from the main work.

>2 Lyndatrue: You're right, and I realized it just as soon as it happened. (Mea culpa ... ) It's happened at least once before, but I don't recall when, who or how we corrected it the last time. I have a PM in to one of our illustrious admins (@lorannen) for guidance on the corrections. I'll also try to follow back to ID the older corrected thread, and see whether it sheds light. Until then, I suppose we have #67 followed by #67. :(

ETA: It was @JBD1 who helped us the last time; I've also asked his help again, with apologies all around. Thanks!

ETA #2: Done -- Thank you, @JBD1!

Black Spring by Henry Miller is apparently combined with a book with the same title by one Christina Henry. There are reviews of her book among reviews of his and the work, while composed predominantly of his editions, seems to be attributed to her?

There is series info involved and I don't know how to handle that, so if someone could please take a look and separate the two works:

http://www.librarything.com/work/53702

I think I got them all. The Christina Henry books are now http://www.librarything.com/work/16158950

That's great! Thanks.

>7 LolaWalser: Looks like @2wonderY fixed this one -- thank you!

More to the point, however, it looks like WorldCat has them incorrectly combined as editions or formats of the same Work; see http://www.worldcat.org/title/black-spring/oclc/876001796/editions?referer=di&am... .

I recall that some of us have successfully requested changes or corrections from Amazon. Does anybody know how to go about doing so with WorldCat?

I think this should be combined:

http://www.librarything.com/work/1705962

http://www.librarything.com/work/16160787/book/119792561

The cover on the first url is exactly like the cover of the book which is is on the second. The second lists the map drawer but I think both should be combined.

>11 Schmerguls: Seems someone did it.

@Jarandel @Schmerguls yes that was me late last night.

Duncon and Jarandel, thank you both very much. I am continually amazed and gratified by the speed with which any problem I have is answered on this board.

0 copy

http://www.librarything.com/work/15757409
http://www.librarything.com/work/15757408

Thanks.

>15 Jarandel: Done.

LT seems to think these two books are the same (same title):
http://www.librarything.com/work/2580100/edit/78704858
http://www.librarything.com/work/2580100/book/119879594

They are not the same. The first is a brief introduction to the man and his work; the second is a bilingual catalogue from an exhibition in Japan, looking at his work from a Japanese perspective.

Could they please be somehow treated separately? Thanks.

>17 SassyLassy: Someone seems to have separated them.

http://www.librarything.com/work/16176969/editions

>17 SassyLassy: The expo catalogue should be separate now, just don't follow the old link.

http://www.librarything.com/work/16176969

>18 MarthaJeanne: and >19 Jarandel: Thanks so much. It looks correct now.

I don't know how to combine zero-copy works. Could someone please combine:


https://www.librarything.com/work/16179830/editions

Thank you

>21 smcwl: Done; thank you!

If anyone would like to combine some german and english wirks on this author page

they'd be welcome.

Hi, quick question:

https://www.librarything.com/work/12258035/editions

https://www.librarything.com/work/12258014/editions

There's a disambiguation notice, but as far as I can tell, it's just about the illustrations; text is pretty much the same. At any rate, they're messed up (both show the Sendak cover in search results) and should be sorted out, but my inclination is to combine.
What do you think?

>24 leselotte: Some people messed the ISBNs of their versions, and some of one version got into the other, still not a reason to combine.

>25 Jarandel: That's the question, though.
There are many works on here which have the same text, but different illustrations, even extremely popular ones such as The Velveteen Rabbit or Beatrix Potter books, all combined into one entry.
There seems to be no consensus.
So if the text is the same - shouldn't they be combined?

>26 leselotte: An ongoing discussion. Those who collect for the illustrations want them separated, on the principle that especially with a short text, it's the illustrations that are what's important. Sometimes it is simply because of the illustrations that it was published.

A good example is The Night Before Christmas, which has often been published to showcase an illustrator. Many of those have been separated on the basis of the importance of the illustrations.

In short, the core best practice is to combine, but there are case-by-case exceptions.

Hello, would someone please combine

http://www.librarything.com/work/525798/editions/120002232

and

http://www.librarything.com/work/2075516

Thanks in advance.

By the way--not sure this is not a problem on my end--there's a cover for the work in the first link belonging to some children's picture book (which also comes up in suggested combinations) but I was unable to flag it as not appropriate because I couldn't scroll down far enough. Don't know what that's about, but perhaps someone else could flag that cover.

And a second "please combine" request...

http://www.librarything.com/work/11085532/editions/120002462

and

http://www.librarything.com/work/1427284

Thanks again!

>28 LolaWalser: It's one of the Amazon covers. Two copies have ISBN 0525472479 that to Amazon is known as that children's book. No one seems to have selected it as their actual cover on LT.

The error is probably that of those 2 LT user and possibly whatever source they used, not Amazon's so I don't think there's much to do about it, unless you want to get nosy enough to separate the copies to see who the holders are and message them, and maybe see the data source.

>28 LolaWalser: Done. The children's book cover is Amazon. Nothing we can do.

>29 LolaWalser: Done.

>30 Jarandel:, >31 MarthaJeanne:

Great, thanks. And thanks for the explanation.

Please fix this if possible...I discovered when I added this book today, that there are 10 LTers who have it with the wrong author, due to similarities between the true author's name (Bro. Francis Mary Kalvelage, FI http://www.librarything.com/author/kalvelagefrancismary) and another author (Mother Mary Francis http://www.librarything.com/author/francismothermary)

Thank you very much!

>36 smcwl: & >37 smcwl: Done.

>35 Jarandel: Seems to have been taken care of already.

These should be combined:

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

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

The second is a zero page and serves no purpose that I can see.

>40 Schmerguls: You're right, it has no purpose but there is no need to combine it since most people will never stumble on it with no works attached to the ugly, double author name. There are hundreds if not thousands of similar multi-author names in the system with no works that are uncombined.

>40 Schmerguls:, >41 bernsad: Ideally, all these "ugly, double author names" will eventually be zero-copy records, since they don't reflect any one Author, and we continue to properly credit individual Authors and other contributors in their own rights. In the case of And Their Children After Them, Dale Maharidge and Michael Williamson each should be acknowledged as the Author or Photographer, respectively (which currently appears to be the case). Thank you.

Another way to put it is that "Dale Maharidge and Michael Williamson" is not the same person as Dale Maharidge, so the two pages shouldn't be combined.

please separate

Hi @MarthaJeanne

Sorry, would you like those 2 combined?

Yes, please, but mine doesn't show on the author page.

@MarthaJeanne Done. When a work doesn't shew on the author page like that, click on "recalculate author name" a couple of times and usually it will appear.

Someone seems to have managed it now. Does it look ok for you?

ETA. Slower than Mr Hill I am!

>53 MarthaJeanne: Done

>56 DuncanHill: I had, and it was in place as work author, but still not on the author page.

Maybe just a glitch then, I went to the author page, clicked "recalculate author" twice, and it appeared.

What's really odd is that in the helpers' log both me and @Henkl appear to have combined it a few minutes apart.

ETA: OK, that's what I can do for now. Individual Books 1, 2, 3 and 4 are each together, with coordinated Canoncial Titles. I also found two "Companion" volumes, which may be the same or different. Still to do: Authors, and compare the original and Revised Editions. (It appears Book 4 only appears in the Revised Edition, which makes me wonder how Books 1, 2 and 3 compare across editions. Further separations, recombining and expanding on the Series may be warranted on that basis.) Please lemme know what you think, and thanks!

a lot of works with the wrong author. I changed the author and combined some of them with the right work (more or less 50), but there's still a lot to do.
Works with only 1 copy and a long title are the first candidates to combine as more general titles (i.e. Awakening) could include works from different authors

>76 supersidvicious:

Now that is a big project :)

>76 supersidvicious: & >77 AnnieMod: I stumbled on that one the other day too. I did a bit of work on it and forgot to get back to it. Maybe it's something we can chip away bit by bit.

>78 bernsad:

I've been chipping away at it slowly this evening when I have a minute. It will probably take everyone chipping in and a few weeks :)

It seems several people are working on it at this moment.

I have been working a bit on the Kindle one too. So far, I have tackled (most of) the titles with brackets in them. The majority of these could be combined with their appropriate works. I was planning to work on the ones with a hyphen next.

I've just picked a chunk somewhat down the page and I'm plugging away.

We do seem to have reduced it by several hundred, but with over 11,000 to go it will take a while. I have found other combining to do along the way as well.

>83 MarthaJeanne:
over 16,000
maybe we should create a specific group ;-)

>84 supersidvicious:

16 000 copies but 11 000 works. Which is what really matters.

I think anyone who tries to add a work with Kindle as the author should be zapped between the eyes.

>84 supersidvicious:: We could post discussions in this topic: http://www.librarything.com/topic/188674. Someone once started this specifically for big projects, I guess this one qualifies...

>76 supersidvicious: Oh. Wow. Ugh.

Any specific suggestions on how to best make the most progress through these would be welcome and appreciated.

Hello
https://www.librarything.com/author/barthjohn/names
I need to split J. Barth work "Die Pronominalbildung in den semitischen Sprachen" it belongs to someone other (not John Barth), while "Le Courtier en tabac, tome 1 : Lauréat du Maryland & Le Courtier en tabac, tome 2 : Malden recouvre are correctly connected to John Barth. I've tried to fix it, but without success.
Thanks

>129 Gizmex:

Done. J Barth should not have been combined into the John Barth page so I separated it. Then the already split J Barth had the two authors there already separate so a simple aliasing of the one that had the Courtier volumes into John Barth was all remaining to be done.

>128 SirThomas:

Was just around :)

I also split J.Barth, then I split J. Barth to (1) & (2) & tried to combine (1) with John Barth, but it was not possible. Forgot about aliasing. Thanks a lot!!

>131 Gizmex:

You cannot combine in that case - you need to alias instead :) So when you tried, you combined the WHOLE author J Barth into John Barth.

You combine full authors; you alias the split parts.

Ludwig Bechstein is the author, Axel Scheffler the illustrator, and Julia Donaldson the translator. The primary author (Bechstein, surely) is listed in various members' books as any one of the three. I know changing the primary author on a work is considered a fairly big deal, but can this be sorted? Cheers.

Zero-copy: https://www.librarything.com/work/16357196

Main entry: https://www.librarything.com/work/13853771

Thanks @Collectorator

>157 bluepiano: Reading the description, I can't think that the current author designations are right. At the very least, shouldn't the artist be a main author? Maybe the translator as well. The point of this edition seems to be the pictures, and if this poem is published as a book elsewhere, they should not be combined.

>170 DuncanHill:

Done.

Please do your magic here.

http://www.librarything.com/series/Adventure+with+a+Purpose

shows a Series page I just created for five books by Albert J. Nevins. The first book on the list, which is my book, has the author as Albert J. Nevin, even though I have it entered correctly on the book page in my library, and I have the only copy of it on LT.

http://www.librarything.com/work/16361037

After combining a bunch of Albert J. Nevin with the Albert J. Nevins to try and fix this, I now bring it to you, dear Combiners!

>172 SaintSunniva:

Look at it now?

>172 SaintSunniva: I recalculated title/author from the book page, and now they're both showing correctly.

You can do it yourself, if it comes up again, by clicking on the euphoniously-named link near the bottom of the right-hand navigation column.

Thank you @AnnieMod.

>174 PhaedraB:

Something else was stuck -- it did not work on the recalculation the first time so I separated and re-combined one of the 0-copies over there. That finally unstuck it.

>173 AnnieMod: and >174 PhaedraB:, thank you.

Do you think the cover photo will eventually show up on its own? The Adventures of Duc... has a picture in my catalog, but not on the Series page, http://www.librarything.com/series/Adventure+with+a+Purpose

>177 SaintSunniva: It does now. Sometimes you just have to hit the button a couple of times and refresh.

Would someone please work on this...Kurt Wiese illustrated books....this one, for example on his page of works, is not his.

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

Scroll halfway down the page to Bolivia...in Pictures. Mixed in with that title, which he did not illustrate, are some titles that he did, which I know because I have the book. Bolivia in Story and Picture in the Pictured Geography series by Bernadine Bailey, with some titles in the series by Marguerite Henry & Lois Donaldson, is not the same work as Bolivia...in Pictures by Mary M. Rodgers.

The same book, Bolivia...in Pictures, is also wrongly attributed to Bernadine Bailey on her author page, http://www.librarything.com/combine.php?author=baileybernadine

I made the Series page for the Pictured Geography books a while back. The first editions of that series were by a couple different authors, but were all illustrated in color lithographs by Kurt Wiese. What a bummer that books which aren't in the series are showing up on it! Here's the series page: http://www.librarything.com/series/Pictured+Geographies (Bolivia...in Pictures is now on it, but shouldn't be)

Thank you for your help.

Please combine these 2 zero-copy works (can't find any non-zero copies of these works):

You are working on Giles apparently today. I got a few more straightened out around the ones before but had not done my usual full blown search to match all possible :)

That should be all the pandas.

Got the first two into this one.

Now the kangaroos

0 editions
http://www.librarything.com/work/16374149/editions

Someone got the Pandas before me but the Kangaroos in >207 MarthaJeanne: are now reunited.

I think I have them all organized into a neat series, although there is a work of unidentified editions.

>209 MarthaJeanne: It's just that they seem to be a set with only 1 of 2 ISBNs for all the books in it, and a few people catalogued them as such, while some others took pains to catalog them individually.

It started out with various things combined (that should not have been), and a lot of others uncombined (that were scattered all through the author's page), so it feels like an accomplishment to end up with an orderly series. Many thanks to those who helped.

With that, this thread is now CLOSED. Please continue our discussions at Combining/Separating (Please Fix This Book!) Request Thread #69 -- http://www.librarything.com/topic/195084. Thank you!
