I find it a bit strange that often an author's real name takes precedence over it - usually much more famous, and more correct because of its use in publishing nom-de-plume. No dog who actually knows who Jan Albert Goris was, but Marnix Gijsen knows everyone (in Belgium at least). Same with, for example, Xaviera Hollander, and there may be a few more to be found.

The choice has been made to also have the work of the authors, who use a different name in addition to their own, in a field.
example: Arnon Grunberg and Marek van der Jagt.

I (as a Dutchman) knew that Jan Albert Goris is the real name for Marnix Gijsen, but the real name of Xaviera Hollander ... no idea

In Catawiki you will now meet Eric Blair (George Orwell) and George Orwell. George Orwell is the pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair. Maybe someone can edit Eric Blair and then merge George Orwell into it?

Shouldn't we also mention “double” pseudonyms like George Orwell and Jean Dulieu the other way around: Dulieu, Jean; Orwell, George?

Actually, I think so. I would look for Orwell at the O and Dulieu at the D.

Perhaps, yes, but Marco would have to solve that technically using the commas.

The input for the Alias field should remain as it is now, as previously agreed. Otherwise it will no longer be possible to determine whether a comma is used as a separator between surname and first name or as a separator between 2 pseudonyms.

It is also possible that Marco runs a rather dangerous script to change the format of the aliases and that we then enter it differently, with e.g. [space][hyphen][space] as a separator between 2 pseudonyms.

An email exchange about this has already been archived with you, René.

Would also seem the most practical to me, but in the first instance that proposal was rejected, a few months ago. Nor can it be "just" implemented, because it now has a script that automatically splits the aliases on the comma, creating the pseudonyms "George" and "Orwell" ... (;-)

What if you put every pseudonym in quotation marks? Then you can also immediately mark pseudonyms whose real name is unknown.

A technical adjustment would have to be made throughout Catawiki for this, because otherwise they will no longer be properly sorted in alphabetical order. It also seems like a nice job ... By only working with separators and leaving the essence of a name untouched, you prevent that.

I still miss the logic of attaching all possible pseudonyms to the real name in all cases and often find it confusing

It is nice to know what Havank is really called, but that is information of the second order, you should be able to find it easily but it does not have to be attached to it all the time.

You talked about Xaviera Hollander and it's nice that we know her name is Vera de Vries, but that's only important if you want to visit her at home.

I can now find her under de Vries, under Xaviera and not under Hollander. Handy!

When entering the correct name will come along, but if I look in the list of authors, I will not get there and that is the name on the book.

If we were to implement this just as consistently on the records and DVDs, it would in some cases become illegible to list all name variations and artist names.

All that information should be known at Catawiki and by e.g. to be available on call (future music?), but taking everything with you as is happening now is polluting.

I do . When I enter Hollander as a search, she is neatly at the bottom of the list.

Attaching all pseudonyms to the real name provides an overall picture of an author's oeuvre. Perhaps it should be possible to sort on one of the pseudonyms, but then we have to include an extra field, which must then be filled in consistently.
