JG (Introverted Reader) | 487 comments I was just cleaning up the author combine page for Reader's Companions and noticed something odd. The real book of The 100-Year-Old-Man Who Climbed Out the Window... by Jonas Jonasson is on the Reader's Companions page to be combined. It's also on Jonasson's combine page. I split out the works that have "Digest & Review" in the title but the bulk of the works (the real book) are still on Reader's Companions combine page. Any thoughts?

Alison | 961 comments It sounds like there's still at least one edition combined with the original work that has Reader's Companions as the first author. You can either go through all the editions of the book to look for the ones with Reader's Companions as the first author, or you can look at the disambiguate page for Reader's Companions to help you find those editions. (You can only access the disambiguate page for unclaimed profiles. It's accessible on the edit page for the author profile.) Then edit these editions as needed (separate them out if they are the companion or change the author if they are the original book).

I had a feeling it was something like that but you saved me hours of time with the disambiguate tip. I've got it fixed now. Thank you!
