I just changed the name Jones, Jeff to Jones, Jeffrey (Jeff Jones). To my surprise, the name Jeff Jones just stays in my collection but now links to a blank page. The name Jeffrey Jones is not mentioned in my collection while his book (Idyl) is in my collection. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? In this way it seems to me better not to correct names because this also has consequences for other people's collection. Shall I turn it back on?

That's a bug in Catawiki that we were not aware of. Let's get started. You don't have to turn back. Do you have the time to upload a nice profile picture / avatar :-)

Thank you, it is from one of my favorite comics, Modesty Blaise.
I see that the name has been reverted back to Jeff Jones and that the name on the booklet I entered is (Ravens and Rainbows) changed to Jeff Jones. I hope this is a workaround? I have 4 books with work by this artist and only with Idyl his name is shortened to “Jeff”. In this way the exception becomes the rule.

We have not changed ourselves. Are still working on a structural solution, but that takes some work. Looks like one of the administrators has switched back to Jones, Jeff with the name variation Jeffrey because if you type “jeffrey” in the search bar you will find Jones, Jeff. Just try.
So we will come back to this with a good solution.

I feel that this problem has now been solved, and you can now change author names with confidence, without leaving gaps in someone else's collection.
Is that correct?

That's right. Every night everyone's collection, search list and shop are checked to see if there are any gaps in them and they are then neatly removed. It may therefore be that you still suffer from it now and then.

I tried again, but I get the same again.
The name Jeffrey Jones is still not listed in my collection.
Is that okay with the check last night?
Or are there only deleted things during the check?

If you come across a wrong author name, you don't have to change it everywhere yourself, you know. If you give us a signal, we do so "with the push of a button". And the wrong name has immediately disappeared from the database.
