Please only list authors in this topic who need to be merged by a GR staff member. That is, when one of the profiles has been claimed by the GR-member author.

Do not list authors for disambiguation, authors who are deceased, or authors needing merging where neither profile has been claimed.

Sarah (is clearing her shelves) (sarahjf1984) | 236 comments This is the discussion for author profile merges where one of the profiles is for a GR author, right?

I think that the two authors below are the same person and one of them is a GR author. The first is for Nancy Corrigan who wrote The Middle Place and the second is for Kelly Corrigan (the GR author) who also wrote The Middle Place. I believe that Nancy Corrigan is an incorrect entry for Kelly Corrigan, as it only has the barest information on the publisher, publish date etc. If that is true then the two versions of The Middle Place are the same book too. If I am right could all of it be merged into one person and one book? Thank you for your time and help.

Then we're going to have to change all the books I just linked to his undotted name :-)

An otherwise empty profile, except for the topic mentioning him.

Banjomike | 5166 comments I noticed that two books that used to be Melanie M. Ray (#29) were both re-authored to Melanie Ray and new covers added. Looks like there were/are books with the middle initial floating around. Those old covers are still findable. Are we bothered?

About the covers, yes. That the author has decided to more recently publish without her middle initial, no.

There is an unrelated page with the correct version of the name:

It's pretty clear that NOT all the books in the first profile belong to the GR author. the ones that do will need to be edited individually.

Banjomike | 5166 comments I've moved the Judith Miller (antiques and collectables stuff) to Judith H. Miller (that author already existed)
