authors missing[edit]

Thousands of author names from J. G. Cogan through L. Zwalinski are missing from this item. ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:11, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I saw this only now, after a separate prompt and have tried to fix the missing author name string (P2093) information in several ways (e.g. here and here as well as some manual edits). In the end, it seemed cleanest to remove all existing P2093 statements altogether (keeping the author (P50) statements), then create a new item with complete P2093 information (caution: this new item Q110449462 is currently ranked 6th in Special:LongPages), with the idea of merging it into Q27349821 and using the Author Disambiguator to sort out the positions that have both a P2093 and a P50 statement. However, the merge attempt caused an error, and the merge did not take place (details), so for now, we have the P50 information in Q27349821 and the P2093 information in Q110449462. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 23:09, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Author Disambiguator and merge should be able to handle duplicate P2093 entries, I'm not sure why you thought it necessary to remove them? Anyway, I hope we can get this fixed and merged soon! ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:54, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
