I'm not sure how you added these links, as I had added them myself in February. Hopefully there is only one Wikipedia page for each author!!! However, the links work fine so no foul, no harm. I usually wait until the project catalogues before creating the links, so I can see if the project page actually mentions any links to a Wikipedia page.

Good observation. I will do some scouring to see if I find anything else. And I will make a note in my workflow to wait until catalogued before adding. Now that I understand the spreadsheets better, I can use it as a pre-screening resource, as well. Thank you for your feedback. Its very helpful :D

I did a little more research on Grinnell but did not find another Wikipedia page for either, or based on the search criteria I used. Moving on, I did a little more searching today and came across https://librivox.org/author/604?primary_key=604&search_category=author&search_page=1&search_form=get_results
where 'External Links' is not populated in the LV catalog but the works are completed. Are these okay to go ahead and add LV link to author Wikipedia page?

I will get better at this, I promise :D

Thanks,

Good sleuthing Dolly.
This is a job for David O to fix, for he has MC privileges and can get into the back room of the projects. Here are the stats:
Robert Leighton's Wikipedia page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Leighton_(author),
contains the External Link to his LV Author page, but none of the projects listed on that page link to his Wikipedia page. Also, the Wiki Link needs to be added to Author page.

Take your time. There is no rush on any of this as far as I'm concerned.

Michele,

It is not so much a rush, as no need to wait. There are a few MCs who are very proficient and efficient at sorting out author issues.

Jo (knotyouraveragejo) in this case, merged the two author entries into one (5428), updated the links on Wikipedia, and updated the description on the author's Librivox page.

5428? Hieronymus van Alphen?

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hieronymus_van_Alphen (no external link on this page) Hieronymus of Alphen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hieronymus_van_Alphen (there is an external link on this page) Hieronymus van Alphen

Should the external link go on both pages? Or, should Wikipedia remove one page as a duplicate?
Should an LV search bring us to the author page using either name?

Will Jo also address the Robert Leighton issue referenced a few posts up?

Another issue I found:
In the case of author Georg Engel (388) , the spreadsheet shows one WP Link in the WP Link column (which is a stub and has no link back to LV), and another WP Link in the Comments section (which is a full page and does have a link back to LV.) Alas, the project listed on the author page links back to the stub rather than to the full page. I reckon issues like this should be fixed as we run across them. YES? or NO?

Likewise, should we not just transfer the correct WP page to the WP Link column, and either eliminate reference to the stub, or put that one in the comments section?

So I will continue to add links and will make a note for those that have no external links posted to the LV. But don't hesitate to let me know if you feel like I'm veering off track.

It looks like I have some more work to do on Robert Leighton. I'll do more research on his link situation tomorrow.

Thanks for your help and patience.
Cheers
