@M-le-mot-dit: Why have you merged two authors? Both authors seem legitimate and should have their own author pages and they seem to be distinct people. What am I missing?-- billinghurst sDrewth, 13:15 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Billinghurst: According to the Authority control sites, William Scott Palmer is a pseudonym of Mary Emily Dowson. M-le-mot-dit (talk) 14:02, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- @M-le-mot-dit: Okay, can I ask that you please document that on our pages so we have something clear and overt, either on the author page itself, or on the author talk page. Clarity better than confusion. It does seems a little unusual as Index:Bergson - Matter and Memory (1911).djvu credits both names as translators, which is somewhat contradictory. I will do some chasing on both names and see what I can find. — billinghurst sDrewth 02:03, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
