Looking through the books of Elizabeth Chadwick (1) (https://www.librarything.com/author/chadwickelizabeth-1), I see that she is credited with the series "Lovers" (https://www.librarything.com/nseries/119643/Lovers), but on the disambiguation page for Elizabeth Chadwick I see that the books Reluctant Lovers and Elusive Lovers are both by Elizabeth Chadwick (2) (https://www.librarything.com/author/chadwickelizabeth-2). Is there a way to sort this onto the correct page? I see that if I click on the series author I am sent to the disambiguation page.

The problem would seem to lie in https://www.librarything.com/work/15623610

This is made up of three books by "Elizabeth Chadwick". However, according to the current division, one is by EC1, the other two by EC2. I have moved this work from 1 to unknown. Let's see if that helps.

Probably because of this work https://www.librarything.com/work/15623610 It apparently contains 3 stories, 2 by EC (2) and 1 by EC (1) but is assigned to the Lovers series. Sort out that mess and your series will probably fall into line.

The member with that work seems to have done this a lot. Usually, of course, all the books are by the same author, and not by different authors with the same name.

It may be necessary to turn off series author for that series for a day or two. See if it sorts itself out over night.

>5 MarthaJeanne: I wonder if they somehow misunderstand what the splitting is supposed to do and uses that to split different types/topics inside of the same author's work... or they just select the wrong one occasionally.

>6 AnnieMod: The division is by someone else.

The member with this work has one entry for each author, whether there is one book or many. I just counted one with 19.
