Black Jewels[edit]

The section on the Black Jewels trilogy currently reads like a review and needs a rewrite to follow WP:NPOV. -- 9muses 05:30, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mistaken identity[edit]

VIAF 6882861 shows mistaken identity of this fiction writer Anne Bishop (the German national library record 'DNB') and Anne Charlotte Bishop, born 1950 (the other records and the book cover image; see the Canadian record because she is from Canada). For the fiction writer, German wikipedia de:Anne Bishop now links that VIAF record [i'll change it] and gives birthyear 1950.[  Done both] The German library and German wikipedia seem to be the only sources for birthyear 1950, probably derived from the mistaken identity VIAF reveals.

VIAF 99115577 seems to identify the fiction writer consistently, except for the German record which is an empty name.

Furthermore the US Library of Congress, which differentiated multiple Anne Bishops recently (see the Special note), credits her with a 1983 cookbook, its earliest publ date for her by 15 years (same link; Browse catalog and Sort by date).
The WorldCat link in our footer template {{Authority control}} is broken because that site has not kept up with LC's recent differentiation.
Just now I added an explicit WorldCat link to the footer.
no change
Hours ago I notified the US and German libraries, using the automated error correction forms.
Note to self: cookbooks surely not hers OCLC 10263268 OCLC 610240023
fixed at Library of Congress by "creation" of cookbook writer Anne Bishop born 1922, author of the first cookbook (1983) noted immediately above.

P.S. Both libraries replied by email next morning, having made the changes (here and next section), although VIAF is automatically updated only a few times each year.

Year of birth[edit]

Previously we give birthyear 1950[1] with ref DNB, the German National Library.

  1. ^ Deutsche Nationalbibliothek "Bishop, Anne"

That is probably based on mistaken identity (above) so I deleted it --from the infobox, footer template {{Persondata}}, and categories-- and put the page in Category:Year of birth missing (living people).

I explained the probable error and DNB deleted birthyear 1950 in favor of flourishing 1998– (and informed me that VIAF records above are automatically updated a few times each year).

Just now I noticed that we say 1955 in prose, changed from 1950 by some ISP three months ago "to make it accurate".[1] Our source for that sentence[2] concerns the following short story bibliographic data, not the birthyear.
