The book you've linked to doesn't list you as an author.

Hephaestus Books are garbage.
Jaq, I think you'd need to take this up with both Wikipedia and Hephaestus.
It wouldn't be appropriate to delete something from the title that's part of the title. What we could do is put an explanatory note in the description.

willaful wrote: "It wouldn't be appropriate to delete something from the title that's part of the title. What we could do is put an explanatory note in the description."There already is one:
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.
No, I meant specifying that the book is about the authors mentioned in the title and they didn't contribute to it.

At any rate I thought the reason we don't delete those if they have been added by people is that we can never tell if people actually rated that or if they were intending to rate the actual book. As we have said before: Caveat Emptor.

Jaq wrote: "Cait wrote: "The book you've linked to doesn't list you as an author."It comes up on search on my author name."
As it should, since the search term matches words in the book title.
