I realize there is much less of a backlog than usual for page 19 of one of these threads. Nonetheless, I would suggest starting a new thread for additional requests, as I see there is a second wave of completions happening.

There is still the deletion to be done. See book immediately below."

I apologize for the delayed editing. I didn't see the book but if you're referring to 867, it has been edited.

[Liz V.]

Thank you Amanda. No need for apology. I am just very grateful for all you do.

The listed Mathers records have been merged to the canonical S.L. MacGregor Mathers profile and combines performed.

For related records, please feel free to DM me directly, as I am a subject-matter expert on Western and Tibetan esotericism, and this can get quite convoluted with multiple reprints, pseudonyms, and misattributions. Like, all of these variant Mathers profiles will continually reappear as every different public-domain printer decides to enter the name differently.

You may also find some of my reference materials helpful here:

Some variants are back already. I've noted them and portions remaining to be done."

Mathers will never be "done," only ever more or less of a mess. Same with Westcott. the influx is continual and perpetual. I've been cleaning these for a decade.

I've not devoted a decade, but the rate of re-imports and introduction of other problems are disheartening."

Cheer up, Sisyphus; it's only a boulder. ;-)

Thank you Elizabeth.

A few notes and (sorry) additions.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

I'm glad you check my work. I think I got the ones bulleted.

[Liz V.]

done

More thanks Elizabeth.

It's my work that I check. It's much easier to spot where I missed something when the detritus is cleared, particularly coauthors, and some librarians don't combine books from merged profiles.

Abject apologies but

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Walter Y. Evans-Wentz needs to stay as more spelled out.

I haven't worked much with quotations. Perhaps you could add that to a specific thread for those.

I did not do most of the title combines for this author. I think most of them should have Arthur Avalon as primary.

I think I got all of #930. If not I'll check on them tomorrow.

[Liz V.]

Elizabeth (Alaska) wrote: "Walter Y. Evans-Wentz needs to stay as more spelled out. ..."

Thanks Elizabeth.

I assumed Walter Y. Evans-Wentz was retained for a reason but, as a profile with the single Evans-Wentz book not under W.Y. Evans-Wentz, should Walter Y. Evans-Wentz be dealt with as a pseudonym would be?

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

I could add him, but it's only a preface and there are 453 editions.

Done!

[Liz V.]

More thanks Elizabeth.

Elizabeth (Alaska) wrote: "Walter Y. Evans-Wentz needs to stay as more spelled out."

FWIW, I've worked a lot on Evans-Wentz. He will forever be a problem, but the "main" record should remain W.Y. Evans Wentz, which will need perpetual combining from all of the imported variants, which will continually reappear. He is Sisyphus in person.

[Liz V.]

Hi Keith.

Walter Y. Evans-Wentz appears only once, albeit on a book with 450 plus editions. All other books have W.Y. Evans-Wentz, at least for now, and W.Y. Evans-Wentz is cross-referenced in the Walter Y. Evans-Wentz profile.

That’s only because I keep cleaning it up, which I spent about 2 hours doing after the above post. Variants come in regularly with different punctuation; no hyphen, one period, space after period, interpolated dates, etc. Like for most popular PD authors, but in this case complicated by being associated with other popular authors and Tibetan names.

[Liz V.]

Oh my. Thank you.

#469 done - I think I got all the author fixes, but if there is still something outstanding, would you post in the Large Print thread? I'll see them there.

[Liz V.]

Thank you Elizabeth. Posting a query on Large Print thread.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

#469

Yes, that is an adaptation. It also has a typo in the ISBN. I have posted in the supers thread for a merge.

I'm sorry I didn't note when I marked that post as done. I knew there were some things lingering you should know about.

[Liz V.]

Thank you Elizabeth.

Liz V. wrote: "#934 sent message to Keith

Thanks for the heads-up, Liz. I'll get on that: he's always rather a mess.

[Liz V.]

Thank you Keith.

Are there other authors for whom you'd like an alert?

Liz V. wrote: "Are there other authors for whom you'd like an alert?"

Almost anything with a Tibetan name is likely to be a nightmare for any Librarian who is not a subject-matter expert, which I am relatively speaking. That said, I keep my notes on canonicalization of names publicly available, I think, and welcome knowledgeable and careful assistance, and am willing to render the same: https://www.goodreads.com/story/show/...

Also, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (aka, H.P. Blavatsky, Madame Blavatsky, etc. ad infinitum) moves every other week it seems and is a nightmare of such proportions that I am loath to return to it at all, if I could even find her now.

[Liz V.]

A sentiment evidently shared as my post on Blavatsky got skipped.

Thank you Keith.

Hi folks,
I spotted that this author is shown as having two books but it looks like there is only one, entered twice. I hope you can combine them.
