I did not ask you to reverse anything. The link was correctly made on Wikipedia. Now it is gone.

I only asked you, in future, to report the actual page the Wikipedia link links to, rather than to the specific book title you are working from. Our templates work beautifully and correctly.

It was me, not David O. who asked you to stick with authors. Best to get one process under your belt rather than mix 'n match. Repetition helps with that.
So sorry. My misunderstanding. :(

Question.

On Author Spreadsheet #242 Emilia Freitas there is no Dob or DoD.

Wikipedia has a page for an 'Emilia Freitas' but the title listed in LV catalog 'Uma lembrança (in Coleção de Autoras em Português)' is not in the list of 'Work' on either the en.wikipeida or the pt.wikipedia.

Without a date of birth/date of death on the spreadsheet for Emilia Freitas - or - her listed work from LV on the wikipedia page I do not know if this is a valid link.

Thanks.

I added Mr. Platt's Wikipedia link to the Author Spreadsheet. The link also needs to be added to the LV Catalog Page.

Thanks.
I did a search on this author from the Librivox Home page, which led me to the Author page: https://librivox.org/author/242
I did a wikipedia search for the author by name, and came up with her Wikipedia page. From there I was able to get her birth/death date, and from there I went ahead and added the link to the page as follows:

Note: There is no Wiki link on the LV Author page. I added the birth/death date to the spreadsheet.

This was a whole lot of work to enter the information on one author in a collection of foreign language poems and stories by various authors. This author's one poem is 1 minute and 49 seconds long. It took me almost half an hour to establish and explain this link and I had to guess we got the right author. Add to that your efforts, and it is not a great return for time spent.

In future, if you don't see an author's birth/death information, please ignore that author in the list. We ought to let MC's provide that information.

Note: I deliberately did not specify the entire book title in the Wikipedia code because the Wikipedia page refers to all editions of the book with varying titles. All the books mentioned all have "April Twilights" in common. I wanted to make sure the link from Wikipedia led to any future recordings of other editions of April Twilights.

Michele,

I can fix problems on the Librivox site, but not the Wikipedia site.

The link on the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilde_Serao should be changed from https://librivox.org/author/15970 (which is Sir Hugh Fraser) to https://librivox.org/author/15586 (which is Matilde Serao).

The link ( https://librivox.org/add_catalog_item/16463 ) is not a link to an author, but the link to the project titled "Amid The High Hills". It shows up like that because Sir Hugh Fraser does not have a Wikipedia page link in his Librivox record in the author database. If this is the right author https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Fraser,_1st_Baron_Fraser_of_Allander I can add the link to that database.

DOLZ has created a Wikipedia page for author Harriet A. Glazebrook:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_A._Glazebrook

David, will you please add the wiki link to the author's LV page here:
https://librivox.org/author/33

and the external link to Wikipedia from this project page:
https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-083/

Either DOLZ or I will add the External Link when that is done. Thanks.
