Automated imports aren't smart enough to know that it's the same person. That's what this thread is for.

(FYI, the books needed a combine, not a merge. Also done.)

Doesn't need merging, but does need a . after the L please. Most of his books were here under both names, but the other profile was empty, so I consolidated the editions, but I can't fix his name.

It did, actually. If the correct profile exists (empty or no), it must be merged to correct the GR profile.

Krazykiwi | 1767 comments Oh, ok, thanks :)

I've moved one quote so I could combine it but not touched the books.

T.M. Doran (httpwwwgoodreadscomtmdoran) | 2 comments Two T.M. Doran's as author. My page correctly lists Circling the Turtle and Toward the Gleam with cover pics for both. I need the duplicative Circling the Turtle page (without a cover pic) deleted and I need my newest book, Terrapin, added to my page. I think there may be a space in the Terrapin and duplicative Circling the Turtle author name.

Re 400: It's very helpful if you provide links to the two author profiles.

I merged the profiles, and combined the two editions of Circling the Turtle. Neither should be deleted, as both have valid ISBNs.

Not a claimed GR Author profile.

Not all of the books of the first belong to the second. The ones that do must be edited individually; no merge.

The GR author also needs the AKA removed.
