>1 EGBERTINA: sometimes users accidentally enter the author as the title and the title as the author, either by their own error or an import error. Most of the time they realize their mistake and delete the entry, as they should, which is why this one has no books attached to it.

Perhaps controversially, I like to combine these into the correct work when I find them, because its obvious which work they were intending to add, and that way if someone else makes the same mistake again the book will end up in the right work.

It took some pondering, but I think I got it as squared away as possible
