[17:08:12] <Dragonfly6-7>	 I had just created Q112678431 (Anton van der Does)  when I realized that Q18009059 (Antony van der Does) already existed. How do I do a merge? Or do I tag them for merge by an admin, or....?
[17:10:57] <JAA>	 Dragonfly6-7: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Merge
[17:11:40] <Dragonfly6-7>	 JAA - thank you
[17:12:30] <Dragonfly6-7>	 ah, so i have to activate a new gadget.Okay.
[17:12:49] <JAA>	 Not necessarily, that's just one way of doing it.
[17:13:22] <JAA>	 But it's probably the most convenient.
[17:43:08] <perryprog>	 Back in my day you had to get an admin to merge them!!
[17:48:53] <JAA>	 *shakes fist at cloud*
[17:48:55] <JAA>	 :-)
[18:59:26] <Dragonfly6-7>	 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q112678624     any idea why the worldcat field is broken here?
[19:00:32] <JAA>	 Dragonfly6-7: That looks like a Library of Congress Control Number, not a WorldCat ID.
[19:00:57] <Dragonfly6-7>	 ... ENTITIES not IDENTITIES, bleh
[19:01:09] <Dragonfly6-7>	 http://worldcat.org/identities/lccn-no2014059295/    that's the right number
[19:01:20] <Dragonfly6-7>	 but there's multiple worldcat fields, i guess
[19:01:27] <JAA>	 Ah
[19:01:42] <JAA>	 Yeah, WorldCat Identities ID then.
[19:03:20] <Dragonfly6-7>	 those fields should probably specify 'This one is for a book, this one is for an author'
[19:04:51] <JAA>	 Except not.
[19:05:38] <JAA>	 E.g. https://www.worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n78095332/ and https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJxx96qPfyhwWrJChP9kXd.html both refer to Shakespeare.
[19:08:42] <Dragonfly6-7>	 I'm impressed that you're able to recognize LoC numbers and Worldcat IDs
[19:10:49] <JAA>	 I've probably stared at Wikidata pages with malformed data too long. :-)
[19:33:27] <revi>	 02:43:08 <perry.prog> Back in my day you had to get an admin to merge them!!
[19:33:42] <revi>	 well I thought we actually simply… 'delete'd them?
[19:33:49] <revi>	 /too-much-history
[19:34:13] <revi>	 (dot: deliberate ping-prevention)
[19:41:35] <JAA>	 Oh, a familiar nickname appears. :-)
