The best (and in this case only) way is to edit the work page:
http://openlibrary.org/works/OL7976641W/The_Operas_of_Mozart By William Mann (= name, 20 works of different authors) click on "edit" and change author to "William Somervell Mann, 2 books including Richard Strauss" This William is the music critic William Mann (1924 - 1989) http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL5888016A/William_Somervell_Mann Am 22.03.2011 07:27, schrieb Alan Merryweather:
The William Mann etc that I'm interested in is the Mozart, Richard Srauss etc author. There /are/ namesakes and one book on an alien subject may or may not have been wrongly linked with my Mann. That is not yet researched. I'm hoping that next time I go to edit, that 'Mann, William' will have responded to my efforts to change the format as there is much duplication.----- Original Message ----- *From:* Patrick Conley <mailto:[email protected]> *To:* Open Library -- general discussion <mailto:[email protected]> *Sent:* Tuesday, March 22, 2011 12:51 AM *Subject:* Re: [ol-discuss] Merging authors I doubt, that this is the same man. Not even "William Mann" is one single person, unless he has a remarkable rage of interests: - 1982 a book about the Operas of Mozart - 1996 he's writing about the Netscape Navigator 3 - 2005 he published the novel "All American Boy" with the imprint "William J. Mann" http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL2658241A/William_Mann Am 21.03.2011 19:14, schrieb Alan Merryweather:Hi, This is the same man. William Mann William S Mann William Somervell Mann Books are listed under all three names. Presumably where the style of name is different, merging is inappropriate? TKS Alan Merryweather
