"Stranded" common knowledge after author split

Greetings. I'm new here, and I'm an author with the same name as a previously existing one. I've succeeded in splitting my works from his works, but I'm left with the notice that there are combination issues, namely "stranded" common knowledge.

That's referring to the existing common knowledge block that applies to the other Stephen Diamond. I'm not finding any way to tell LibraryThing that's where it belongs.

Here's the "stranded" page: https://www.librarything.com/author/diamondstephen/issues

And here's the author to whom it belongs: https://www.librarything.com/author/diamondstephen-2

I added a disambiguation notice, but surely there's a way to get this properly linked in the database. Can anyone help?

TIA.

It’s a manual cut and paste operation.

I have changed the numbering so that the author with several copies of books entered is (1) and moved the CK there.

If you want your CK back you will have to reenter it. It's really very disrespectful to want top billing over an established author.

>3 MarthaJeanne: Thanks. Now my photo is on the other author's page. Can you delete or reassign that? Never mind. I figured out how. Thanks again!
