Need assistance from Super Librarian for merging author profile

[✨ Bookferatu ✨]

I am helping an author with his profile page. He is a horror/fantasy writer, but we discovered that his books were being listed under a dead painter's profile. We want to correct this. Also there are other author pages listing only one of his books that all need to be merged.
We want his profile page to point to the new page at http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

But I do not know how to make all previous entries of his books point to his profile page. Please help! I have a these EIGHT works to add/move to his profile page that are not currently linked correctly.

His works (that are currently listing the wrong author page) are:

Knight of the Blazing Sun (Black Library)
Dracula Lives! (Pulpwork Press)
Historical Lovecraft
Bury Me Deep & Other Southern Folk Songs
Born Under a Bad Sign
Charnel Congress (Gotrek & Felix)
Gotrek & Felix: Road of Skulls
Jim Anthony: Super-Detective, Volume Three

Can someone please help me with this?

This doesn't need a super. For each book listed under the wrong profile, edit (on the book's edit page) the author name to have 3 spaces between first and last names.

Also, has he requested to claim his author profile?

Ahh, I was there trying with 2 spaces, wondering why it wouldn't work, haha. Okay, thanks so much, I really appreciate it :)
He will be claiming it soon, for now I added the feed from his blog. Thanks again!

I've just done them anyway. 3 spaces is correct. Also added the disambig Joshua^^^Reynolds to the author page.

Thank you guys very much, I am still learning as I go :)

That should actually be a Librarian's Note, and Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. goes on the visible-to-all-users page. The other notation just confuses most non-librarians.

(I fixed it.)

Good point. Except that that note means you still have to go to an edit page to find out which number of spaces this specific author has. or is there a clever way that I don't know about?

That would have helped me if I had seen the ^^^, so I would also like to know if there is another way to differentiate between authors. Thanks again :)

Hi,

I'm unsure whether this will help, as you need to be in the edit details for the author (as far as I know) and there's a link for similar authors on the right (small print) that shows spaces....

True, but if you are dealing with a Goodreads Author who need disambiguating or even worse TWO Goodreads Author's with the same name who need disambiguating then you cannot do that. The only way I know is to go into one of the books of EACH author, and go to the edit page of EACH book. And that still doesn't tell you if there is a third or fourth author somewhere else. It would be handy if there was non-obvious pale grey number indicating the number of spaces hidden in the corner of the author page.

The librarian note would be more useful if it was automatically added by the system rather than relying on a librarian to do it. Most Goodreads Authors don't have it on their page presumably because they don't want it.
