Andy, the key of the author in the Edition is different from the key of Work's author, as you can see in the JSON.
The problem in these items is that the author shown on the web is the work's author, but that the edition record contains a reference to an author that is deleted (type=/type/delete) or merged (type=/type/redirect). The server does not accept deleted records or redirects as references. You need to update the reference(s) in the Edition record or delete the bad reference(s) altogether (which you can't using the web interface). VacuumBot encountered these same errors and now uses the following strategy: 1. check whether the edition has a reference to a work. 1-yes: check whether the work has at least one author 1-yes-yes: delete the authors from the edition 1-yes-no: throw error 1-no: 2a 2a. download the author record 2b. follow the 'location' field value that points to the replacing record 2c. see if the new record is an author 2c-yes: put this key as author in the edition 2c-no: 3a 3a: is the new record again a redirect? 3a-yes: 2a 3a-no: is the new record deleted? 3a-no-yes: undelete the author (set type=/type/author) See https://github.com/bencomp/VacuumBot/blob/master/vacuumbot.py#L241 for code (it works for me, but I should use real loggers and refactor into OOP (just created issue #1 for that). pull requests welcome). Regards, Ben
