astonishing interpretation of OCLC ID and OCLC secondary verification
- Aha -12-21 My tentative take on them is that OCLC IDs effectively supersede OCLC verifications. The additional information that secondary verifications provide -- the "N/A" capability, the name of the editor and the date of the verification -- doesn't seem to add much as long as we have OCLC IDs.
- Vasha -12-21 That is a good plan. I also think there's likely no need to double-check the OCLC IDs that don't have verifications; although doubtless some of them are wrong, they're no more likely to be wrong than the verified ones.
- Annie -12-21 I had found the name of the OCLC verifier useful - they are usually the source of a lot (if not all) of the information in the record and additional questions often find answers by asking them when there is no PVs or when they are inactive.

- MKupper 2021-01-04 and JLaTondre
Annie somewhere mentions that substantial disambiguation such as "(artist)" is preferred. --primary role only? renames?
