A.C. James https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

This says A.C. James but it's not showing up with my profile attached. Please help :) And Merry Christmas!


message 2: by Abcdarian (new)

Abcdarian Done. Your profile has 2 spaces between A.C. and James to differentiate it from the other one.
And Merry Christmas to you too! :-)


message 3: by A.C. (new)

A.C. James Hmmmm... I did not know that! About the spaces, I mean. Thanks :)


message 4: by Jocelyn (new)

Jocelyn Cole This book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) links to the wrong Eric Wilder. The correct Eric Wilder should ONLY be linked to this title (I'm a contributor and I originally created the listing for the book). Can we get a double space to his name to fix this?

Here he is. He is Eric^^^^Wilder with four spaces for disambiguation
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

We already have 1, 2, 3 spaces.


message 6: by Whoof (new)

Whoof There are two spellings of Dostoyevsky, one of which only returns two books (one being Crime and Punishment). The first one should probably be changed to match the second.

message 8: by Ine (new)

Ine Not sure if this is the place to ask.

I've just added a translation of The Best Ever Vegetarian Cookbook, De Vegetarische Keuken.

The original edition has Linda Frazer listed as the author, but my translation says Linda Fraser (with an S instead of a Z). Looking closely at the cover of the original edition, I think it says Fraser there too. Can someone check this and if needed, correct it?

Hi, could i double check if you would like the name to be changed to Linda Fraser? instead of Linda Frazer?

Fixed. Fraser is the correct one.

message 19: by Zrinka (new)

Zrinka I am a librarian but not sure whether I should change the author name myself: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

The cover says Neil Ardley, Amazon as well.
tnx

Worldcat agrees too. Changed :)

Generally if Worldcat and Amazon agree that that ISBN matches a specific author then change it, but make a note in the Comment box before saving. Covers can be wrong though, so be cautious there.

Mark Lawrence Hi - could someone make me the author of this book:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

someone created it with Mark[]Lawrence as the author rather than Mark[double space]Lawrence

Thanks!

message 25: by Arzu (new)

Arzu Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'll go ahead. I just noticed that a book series is under the wrong author i.e. there are 2 authors with the same name. I thought with adding an extra space between this would be okay, but unfortunately not.

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... is not the author who wrote the Silver Bullet series, but this author is https://www.goodreads.com/author/show....

Could someone help me?

Thanks


message 26: by Abcdarian (last edited Feb 16, 2014 06:47AM) (new)

Abcdarian For some reason the Silver Bullet author had 3 spaces. I changed it to 2 spaces, so adding a space will work now. I'll do them.
#25 done.


message 27: by Brian (new)

Brian Bern Hello,

Four books have been incorrectly added to my author profile. I am the author of Sword of Damocles and no other books. I share the same name as the author of these other four books:

Dealing with a relationship break up
Conquer your phobia today
Teenage Pregnancy
Easy, Natural Road to Vegetarianism

My author profile is as follows: Brian Bern

Might someone be able to help remove the other four works from my author profile?

Many thanks.

message 37: by Al (new)

Al Maki There appear to be two authors named Fiona Hill, one writes romances and shows up in Goodreads, the other works at the Brookings Institution and is a Russia specialist. The second Fiona Hill doesn't show up on Goodreads and her books have been wrongly attributed to the first.


message 39: by Sissi (new)

Sissi C. Hi!
I believe there is a mistake in the name of author here (Jan Neruda / Jana Neruda): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

and that it actually belongs under this title: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Anybody can help?


message 40: by Emy (last edited Mar 19, 2014 05:39AM) (new)

Emy Looks like a typo on the covers. I'm going to change them to match, but leaving a note so it doesn't get changed back unwittingly.

Alexander Hi,

This book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) has been listed on my GR Authors account but it's by a different Alexander Rose. Would you mind moving it to the correct page? (I'm pretty sure the other Alexander Rose already has a page with his works.) Thanks.

Hello,

This book (the page for the French edition, at least) has Jean-Michel Oughourlian listed as the author. Should be René Girard.
