Sarah Bailey author page(s) messed up

https://www.librarything.com/author/baileysarah has been messed up by a new member. Authors formerly split no longer have their CK.

The CK and author description on SB1 belongs to the author of Clerical Vestments. I added that CK in 2014, long before the author whose books have been put there was popular.

I think that the CK is still there and will reappear once they have books again. For example, the publisher link on SB1 is still the one you put there.

I've restored much of it, and updated more, but the history of which books were assigned to authors 2 & 6 are cut off. Would staff be able to see those?

Okay, I figured out author #6.

Thank you so much. I was too upset to be able to face it.

I also sent a message to the new member. The Help on splitting is nonexistent at the moment.

kristilabrie has also said that she will send a message.

Do any longer-serving members know why the list even truncates on the /author_split.php page at all? A legacy from when internet speeds were slower? It would seem more useful if it went back into all time, paginated if necessary, to allow things to be examined.

>8 Nevov: I suspect it has more to do with the length of the DB field the log is saved into than with the internet speed and rendering... But it had always been like that (for as long as I had been here anyway) and it may be a useful RSI to add.

>9 AnnieMod: Thanks, I have searched and found an existing one, and will bump:
