Have you considered merging the disparate author entries for the David  
Clarke 1972-? If you bring the author entries together, I believe that  
the bibliographic record will be updated automatically (although with  
a bit of a delay -- at least a few minutes).

If you click on "author" on the home page and type in david clarke you  
can see all of the names matching those 'keywords', among which will  
be the ones you wish to merge. (Merge link is in upper right side of  
results page.)
