The GR Author is Lisa^^Scott; the other is Lisa^Scott. Not all of the books on the latter profile belong to the former, so no merge. The ones that do will need an extra space added to each one on the book edit page.

My apologies. Since the author data was the same, and all the books I noticed were the same, I didn't realize there were a few that were different. I'll add the extra space to the name on the ones that belong to the former.

No apology needed. It was confusing, which is why I deleted her author info from the profile not belonging to her.

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.

Posts that do not belong in this thread may be deleted.

She appears to publish under both. No merge; individual books probably need editing to have the correct author as primary.

Okay.

This is my account and for some reason I made a quote and it went onto this profile. I saw that my link has jacob tepsa with no capital letters and I want mine to have capital letters like Jacob Tepsa.

Doug Hoffman | 1 comments The authors "Doug L Hoffman" and "Doug L. Hoffman" are the same person (me). Please update the book Peggy Sue (ISBN 978-0-9884588-5-7) by changing the author name to "Doug L. Hoffman" so the book will show up on my author profile. Thank you.

D.T. Peterson http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Correct spelling is D. T. Peterson (the one with a space).
