Well I turned the librarything plugin back on and it overwrote series data previously entered again.

I loaded 4 books from a series (see attached) I edited the Titles and the Series in the main library window. I entered the Series, hit enter, then after calibre incremented the series number, I corrected the series number . I edited the Author and Author sort in the metadata window. I went and fetched metadata and covers and the Series I entered (Falco) was overwritten by Marcus Didius Falco.

There is no confusion possible this time. I'll just go back and disable the Librarything plugin until a wizard for metadata download is created to handle this.

Thanks to everyone for looking into this situation.
