Hi - I'm not sure quickstatements is the right tool here - but are you in the middle of updating this? Right now a lot of the author name strings are missing their series ordinal qualifiers. Not sure what's going on here.

I couldn't merge Q27349821 and Q110449462 the normal way. So moved some of the data manually, but for the author name strings this was too much work. So I exported the data using WDQS and tried importing them using Quickstatements. Which resulted in a lot of errors. So I assumed they were already imported. But apparently not. I only have the data as a quickstatements v1 file. So it will be hard to import it in a different tool.

It might be safe to clear the errors on the QS batch and rerun it? But I've been thinking about adding a feature to the author disambiguator tool to batch-import missing author names so this might be an incentive to get me to implement that also. let me know what you plan.

Ok, I added the new feature, and added the missing author names with their ordinal numbers; should be good now!
