Open Library information

While not Wikisource related, I spent some time tidying up the works, editions, and authors recorded in the Open Library (and making the associated Wikidata updates):

• Author page for Thomas Musgrave
• Author page for John Joseph Shillinglaw (I haven't looked at all the duplicate works and editions for him, just associated them with the author ID to be kept)
• Work and editions for Castaway on Auckland Isles, first published in 1866 (this is this Wikisource book)
• Work and editions for Castaway on Auckland Isles, first published in 1865

I kept the separate works/entries for the 1865 "edition" and "1866" edition. They are substantially different in my view to warrant separate works - different structure and content. But, as I'm not a cataloger, happy to change this.

I have sent a request to get duplicate authors and works deleted. This is what I requested:

• Thomas Musgrave author ID: delete duplicate entries - OL5823907A, OL6357867A
• Castaway on the Auckland Isles: delete duplicate work entries - OL12886353W, OL13482741W, OL34109703W
• John Joseph Shillinglaw author ID: delete duplicate entries - OL2512962A, OL4851361A, OL6004052A, OL8240596A, OL12344649A, OL13564593A
