Bug Description

Following page http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL155274A/Nathan_Banks has website link that is impossible to edit/delete. Seems to have surfaced after switch to upstream site. Possibly related to merge of (author) records?

Another case is http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL2881682A/Franz_Simandl where the website link is clearly spam and the link takes you nowhere - keeps you on same page

Ooh! Good catch, Mike - thanks.

Anand - would be ideal if you could fold in values from the old "website" author field into the new "Web Resources".

Changed in openlibrary:
assignee: nobody → Anand Chitipothu (anandology)
milestone: none → general-bucket
importance: Undecided → Medium

I added an admin-only field to the Edit Author template that will appear if there is data in author.website - this will allow the data to be edited or deleted when necessary, but still provide the field on the Author record if it's legit so it can be moved to Links.
