Joint pseudonyms: "Whit Masterson", "Wade Miller"

"Whit Masterson" and "Wade Miller" are two joint pseudonyms used by childhood friends and novelists Robert Allison "Bob" Wade and H. William Miller. Although IMDb's writing credit guidelines don't specifically mention how to deal with joint pseudonyms, it seems fair to say that it would be in keeping with IMDb's general principles to credit both writers under a shared attribute rather than having a single name page stand in for both of them.

As it turns out, both writers have pages on IMDb, but their credits are split up between each other and one of them is confusingly given one of the joint pseudonyms as their main name.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0557767/ - Biographical information matches Robert Allison Wade, but confusingly listed on IMDb as "Whit Masterson"

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0588433/ - H. William Miller, filmography includes works written under pseudonym "Wade Miller", but not those written under pseudonym "Whit Masterson"

Approving the two contributions listed above will have the effect of...

a) correcting the name for nm0557767 from "Whit Masterson" to "Robert Allison Wade", since Masterson is a joint pseudonym that does not apply to Wade as an individual person (credits will keep the attribute "as Whit Masterson" where applicable)

b) copying over the writing credits for both authors so that they each share credit for the novels they wrote together, with their respective pseudonyms preserved in the attributes

Some of the titles affected by this correction have their crews marked as "complete" which might trigger an automatic rejection or something. Please make sure these changes are approved and stuff. Thanks.
