Capitalization and reorder article "La" in title :
CROISIÈRE JAUNE (LA) : LES DOCUMENTS INÉDITS LUXE
I think this would be a good point to stop posting additional requests in this thread, and start a new one. That will leave room for the remaining open requests to be responded to.


Alright! I am going through some of the gaps in this thread.
#4: Done. See the new page for William Newton.
#6: Done. See the updated page for William E. Newton
#16: Done.
#32: Done. There was quite a bit going on here, with also some faulty ISBNs. In the end, I kept to separate versions of the book: A version with a review of his character by John Angell Adams (The life of the Rev. Richard Knill, of St. Petersburgh; being selections from his reminiscences, journals, and correspondence, with a review of his character - 9 editions) and a version without (The life of Richard Knill, selections from his reminiscences, journals and correspondence - 12 editions).
EDIT: Added one more:
#35: Done

Notes ##16 & 34
Just a note, the Large Print posts can be so long, that moving "Annotated" and "Illustrated" to edition field is planned for future threads, but you might want to do individual editions as you come across.
Also "Scholar's Choice Edition" and "War College Series" are publishers and should be deleted from title (e.g., #34)

Ah, this totally answers a question I have had for a while and probably should have asked out loud! Thank you! Will do so moving forward and did an extra sweep over the works for Upton Sinclair.

I just knew I was going to miss some! Thank you for verifying as always.
Liz V. wrote: "Notes 34"
Could it be that your note for #35 ended up in #34? If so, I think it should be corrected now. If not, I am not sure I understand your note, sorry.
#49: Working on.

As to #34, that is the post. I changed the more visible ● for ■. The deletion is "Scholar's Choice Edition" in title of first book in post

As to #34, that is the post.
#34: Thank you for clarifying! It is fixed now.
#49: Done. This list actually contained work from two different rabbis:
Menachem M. Schneerson, also known as "the Lubavitcher Rebbe"
Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, also known as "Tzemach Tzedek"
I wasn't sure if the rabbi should be the first author for The Jewish Woman by The Lubavitcher Rebbe. This book has no entry on WorldCat and the author on Amazon is Chassida Halevy. It appears to be an adaptation. I added the rabbi as second author, let me know if I should also change the author order.
#50: Done
#82: Could you clarify what you mean by "but now"? Or is this one done?
#83: Working on.

Note #50
As to #82, the correction resulted in 3 profiles instead of the 2 originally posted
#49 was complicated. Thanks for sorting everything out. Looks fine to me.

Yes this was complicated but very interesting too! I saw in your notes that I had left one too many profile open and I corrected this. It should now be 2 authors and not 3.
Liz V. wrote: "Note #50"
Done now!
#83: In progress. This is the one that is taking a lot more time than initially thought, mainly because of the series Advances in Chemical Physics by Ilya Prigogine (and others) https://www.goodreads.com/series/3292... This might take me another day or two.

I am glad you share my fascination with long-ago authors. My personal Mt. TBR is littered with authors of whom I had never heard but want to read.

#82: Done. Note that the Wikipedia page you linked actually contains a small typo. I followed the Library of Congress, https://lccn.loc.gov/n82082906
#83: Done
EDIT: Below added:
#92: Done
#117: Done

Not a small Wikipedia error!
Notes ##83, 92 & 117

#83, #92: Done
#117: Oof, should have noticed that on the first sweep. Fixed on the second sweep!
And filling in some more of the gaps...
#122, #123: Done
#125: Done
#129: Done
#137: Fixed what was marked with a circle (I don't know how you type that character)

#158: Done. See John Andrew (2^) and Carl Emil Doepler.
#159: Done. See Edward Francis Adams (2^)
#160: Done!

Those rabbit holes are so enticing!
Link in GR bio of https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... to brother John Steven Cabot Abbott inoperative. Should be John S.C. Abbott / John S.C. Abbot
Note #159

#921: Done. And removed the John S.C. Abbot with typo.
#159: Fixed!
#165: Done. I believe there is still more than one Sue Thompson under Sue 1^ Thompson. See new Sue Thompson 2^ and new Sue Thompson 3^.
#167, #168: Done
#187, #188: Done
#205: Done. See Andrew Thomas 3^ and Andrew Thomas 4^. Please note that the Aviation Security title you linked belongs to Andrew R. Thomas not Andrew 4^ Thomas. Two Andrew Thomas-es both writing about aviation... What are the odds?

#165 (and #205) do need further disambiguation. Some of the worst dumping profiles I do piecemeal, as they are too complicated to tackle all at once. And I miss things like Andrew R. Thomas. Grateful you caught that.

#207, #216: Done
#228: Please note that I kept Hermann von Helmholtz instead of the longer version (Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz). I wasn't entirely sure about this... I believe there are two competing policies here: To keep the "most complete" version of the name the author has published under while alive, and to use the spelling as suggested by LOC. The one already had a Goodreads bio, so I took that as the tie breaker.

#474: Done. Something I noticed: The picture uploaded for George Gould (1^) has as only copyright information "Uploaded by the author." According to the librarian history the user who uploaded this picture has since been deleted. Not sure what to do with this picture (the rest of the author bio is completely empty and has been completely empty).

My apologies Emma. #940 should have referred to #257.

#503: There are so many Don Millers.
Don Miller 1^, Goodreads author
Don Miller 2^, the main "dumping" profile
Don Miller 3^
Don Miller 4^, Goodreads author
Don Miller 5^
Don Miller 6^
Don Miller 7^, Goodreads author
Don Miller 8^
I did quite a bit of digging, but there is probably another cleaning needed. I tried to separate and organize where there was clearly a different author, with preferably their own heading in the Library of Congress.
The remaining books in the profile Don S. Miller might be by Don Miller (1^), but I couldn't get certainty on that. They are roughly about Psychic Death and Resurrection. I found this LI profile for Don Miller (1^) besides the Amazon link you posted: https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-mille.... I couldn't find a LOC heading.
I am not able to merge the other Don Miller profiles linked in #503 into Don Miller (1^), because he is a Goodreads Author. I moved all the books over so the profiles should be empty (except for Don S. Miller as mentioned above).
#513: Done. I am not sure if Sky Phantom is also by James M. Denny so I left that one on James Denny's profile.
#514: Fixed
#515: Done

Thank you so much Emma.

Unsure why I didn't refer to GR staff, as I know to do with GR authors. Thank you for wading through all of the profiles and separating them.

I don't think I can add a note to Don 7^ Miller's profile because he is a Goodreads author. I added the note to Lena's profile.
