Goodreads Author profiles needing merging BY GR STAFF pt. 3
Mod
I think it might actually be the reverse. I merged the profiles, because each had some books that had the other name on the cover, and one book needed merging. But adding the T.L. version as secondary author on those editions that have it on their cover is probably not a bad idea.

Hi There,I've been told I have two author pages. Don't know how I did it. Can you please combine them. Thank you,
Mary E. Merrell.

Mary, this looks like your author page:http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
You need to claim your author profile here:

Maybe?"
No. But those are non-notable quotes, and they and the profile are gone.

It does not appear that all of the non-GR-author profile's books belong to the GR author. The ones that do will need to be edited individually.

I tried that. But it wouldn't let me. Has GR fixed the author name change bug?

Banjomike's comment is what prompted me to do some digging.
I have sent a request to GR staff.

looks like it should go into
www.goodreads.com/author/show/450867....
but, the author seems to be reissuing titles with her Goodreads author name which is causing books like this one to have the wrong author listed
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/73...
do they need T.L. Higley as primary author and Tracy L. Higley as secondary rather than merging the profiles?
