This looks like a case of a returning researcher signing up with a new account:

U645857 - Original account
U1652413 - New account

I don't know what the policy is on changing credits on EG entries, so I'm not going to do it even though I could. Sorry.

They would have to contact the editors themselves by email, providing login details for both accounts, for it to be transferred. Curators can't do it, I'm afraid TiT.

I don't think Flame is asking for the entry to be transferred, just Atlantic_Cable to be removed as co-author. Unless it was a Flea Market rescue, I don't think Atlantic_Cable should be listed as co-author.

Considering the edited date is 1999, Flame must have had a prior account with only 5 numbers.

I've posted on that thread (thanks TiT) and invited Flameisgold here

Flame's an old AWW friend of mine. I don't think she has the login details for the old account, or else she'd be in that one. But yes, the older and newer accounts are definitely the same person.

I don't think Flame's been around since 1999. Did the 1999 Dreams entry get replaced or updated with a newer one recently? If that happened, then the credit mixup could have easily occurred. The italics should be able to restore the entry to having Atlantic as the subbie come Monday, I think.
