COMBINING AUTHOR

Hello, I have avoided messing with author combination. earlier, today, I added common knowledge info about Ivy May Bolton. Later it seemed to have disappeared. turned out, she is listed =, separately, elsewhere.

I glanced at the author combination- for once- it looked straight forward. when I was finished- it told me I had combination issues. I do not recognize what those issues might be or how to resolve them.

IVY MAY BOLTON is one author with several works and I don't understand why she is having a split personality episode.

plz help & thank you

When you have that situation if you click on the link it will tell you what the issues are. In this case it was saying all of your CK was stuck on a secondary author and not the primary author, I've swapped it over. If you follow the suggested format for birthdates etc and Relationships the resulting links will be more useful.

I have removed Ivy May Bolton's mother from the "Relationships" field. That is meant for people who also have author pages on LT.

Yes, it looks like The Young Cavaliers is not appearing on her author page. It may just be a matter of a delay due to the combining. Give it until tomorrow and see if it shows up.

That work won't show on the author page because it is a 0 copy work.
