Whoops! Argh.
Here's how I fixed it:
* Turns out we already have an entry for "Desabandhu Alec Robertson", which I
hadn't merged. The other entry for the Buddhist Alec Robertson didn't have the
Desabandhu forename, so I missed it.
* I've extracted the Buddhism-related titles from the merge history and
attached
them to Desabandhu Alec Robertson.
* I added birthdates to both, 1892 for the music-y one, and 1928 for the
Buddhist one.
* http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL4166633A/Desabandhu_Alec_Robertson
* http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL142868A/Alec_Robertson
* Also, I thought it would be useful to show a "first published date" per work
on the Merge Author screen to provide more context. We'll work on that, should
be live soon.
Now we wait for the changes to propagate and appear live...
Cheers,
george
