Charts & graphs for split authors

Hello,
I am not sure whether I am misunderstanding something, or this is an actual bug. On the "Charts & Graphs" page of my profile, I have a number author names listed as "Not set" for gender, nationality, dead or alive, for whom the information is actually set as far as I can see. These author names belong to split authors, my books are attributed to the proper split, and the split has all the necessary Common Knowledge.
Example: https://www.librarything.com/author/banksiain
My books with the "Banks, Iain" author are correctly attributed to https://www.librarything.com/author/banksiain-1 so I would expect my Charts & Graphs page to list Iain Banks as from Scotland, male and dead. Instead I'm not seeing him among the author nationalities, is "dead or alive" status is "unknown" and his gender is "not set". Is this a known behavior? Is there a way to fix this? Should it be reported as a bug?

I think you will find that your listed author differs from the work author on one or more books. Iain M Banks is on your list of male authors.

OK for Iain M. Banks, but I am not seeing it for Iain Banks (without the middle inital, as was his practice for non-SF books)... https://www.librarything.com/work/7223/book/14503589

I would try changing L'homme des jeux and The hydrogen sonata.

>4 MarthaJeanne:
How do you suggest to change them, and why?
ETA: sorry, I answered too quickly. Will look into it later when I have more time.

Add M to the author so your entry matches the work author. Those two books are not in Iain Banks 1. Both are science fiction. The cover shown for your entry of the second one shows the M.

>6 MarthaJeanne:
Thanks for your help, it seems to work (even if I don't understand why). The M. middle initial was of course correct for these 2 books, totally sci-fi.
I think I'm still missing a few elements before I start to understand aliasing and its effects, especially regarding Common Knowledge... it didn't occur to me that https://www.librarything.com/author/banksiain-1 and https://www.librarything.com/author/banksiainm could be different pages listing slightly different information, for example. I'm sure it will make sense, eventually :-)

>6 MarthaJeanne: Ironically, Iain Banks is definitely an edge case: he specifically used his middle initial for only certain books. Adding or subtracting the middle initial will make Felagund's data wrong. (Banks used the "M" for books that weren't science fiction.)

I have many Iain Banks books in my library, under both name variations. Only the M version of his name shows up in my charts, but it correctly shows the gender from CK, male.

I have the same problem with https://www.librarything.com/author/collinspaul

The book I have belongs to https://www.librarything.com/author/collinspaul-1 but my author stats page links to the disambiguation page (so his gender appears as "not set")

Looks like you have 2 Paul Collins books. Al paese dei libri was set correctly but La follia di Banvard had gotten moved to the "Paul Collins (unknown)" list. I fixed it.

>10 hipdeep: Oh, I didn't catch that! All is fixed now, thank you!
