Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?
A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as"
lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily,
so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.
В: Мога ли да комбинирам с автор, който не е предложен по-горе?
О: Да, можете.
Q: I know an author is separate, but someone keeps combining them! Can I take a name off the combination list?
О: Да, можете.
Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.
Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?
О: Няма автори.
В: Аз съм този някой и съм прав!
О: Take it to the Combiners group.
