To my surprise I see that [[User:Merrilee]] marked [[Wikipedia:VIAF/errors]] as " no longer the preferred way to contact VIAF staff" in {{diff|Wikipedia:VIAF/errors|904690687|904599760|this edit}}, {{diff|Wikipedia:VIAF/errors|905406780|905346829|and this one}}, asking people to email OCLC directly. Where and when was this decided? I have concerns that the page is asking editors - some of whom my have reasons to preserve their anonymity - to email an external organisation. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 14:11, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
:I agree that is rubbish and should be removed. While we might guarantee its authenticity and security, it is indistinguishable from what a troll might do to harvest private details of long-term editors. {{ping|Merrilee}} The suggestion that editors send email to report an error is not acceptable. I suppose it is entirely possible that no one has reported errors for a long time, but in case someone wants to do so, another procedure needs to be shown on a page at Wikipedia.

:As [[User:Merrilee]] has not responded, I've removed the hatnote; and moved the following here as a sub-section. OCLC my choose to read the page, or not, but it is still useful to Wikipedia. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 12:56, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
===Status of this page===
Note: this page was established in 2012 and is no longer the preferred way to contact VIAF staff to notify regarding errors. The best way to alert OCLC to errors is to send an email to bibchange@oclc.org [[User:Merrilee|Merrilee]] ([[User talk:Merrilee|talk]]) 22:45, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
* I don't know any better way to track issues to completion, so I'll keep posting here and then send email as suggested above. --[[User:Vladimir Alexiev|Vladimir Alexiev]] ([[User talk:Vladimir Alexiev|talk]]) 15:29, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
*:[[User:Vladimir Alexiev|Vladimir Alexiev]] I've moved all the above section regarding WorldCat Identities to [[:d:Wikidata:WikiProject Authority control/WorldCat Identities errors]], which (being on Wikidata) is more adequate to track these issues; for VIAF problems, see [[:d:Wikidata:WikiProject Authority control/VIAF errors]]. --[[User:Epìdosis|'''Epì''']][[User talk:Epìdosis|<span style="color:green">'''dosis'''</span>]] 09:50, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
