Hi Gerd, sorry for jumping on to another author's post, but I'm hoping you could do the same sort of thing for me.

There are two Richard Ford author listings. One of them writes fantasy and did a story in my magazine, but the author listing has been linked to the other Richard Ford. Would it be possible to please fix it?

This listing:

Should be attributed to this Richard Ford:

Hello Adrian,

Fixed the issue. Your Richard Ford is listed in GR as Richard^^Ford, where ^ denotes space. Just put two spaces in his name next time you're adding his books and that should send them to the right author :)

[Adrian]

No worries! Thanks for the help Michael.

Another one. I am reading Still Water by Catherine Marshall, and it's the same British author who wrote Excluded and Masquerade, but the Catherine Marshall listed as author is the American one who died in the 1980s.

#6 Moved to the correct author profile.

thanks

To further #3, all 4 issues of Grimdark Magazine are run by me (Editor), but in listing the author names as contributors I think I've placed the magazine issues on those author's Goodreads dashboards instead of mine. This means I'm restricted in managing and advertising them. Is it possible to put those books into my author dashboard so that I can manage them?

#9 The editor should always be named first in these cases. Moved your name to the primary field.

Also, your author profile is Adrian^^^Collins, where ^ denotes a space. This is because there are more authors with the same name in the database. Just add the extra two spaces when adding a new issue, and it will appear directly on your profile.

Where necessary, I added the extra spaces. Also added issue #4 to the series (although now I'm beginning to doubt if it is an actual series*): https://www.goodreads.com/series/1439...


*according to GR standards, I mean

Same problem. Author name is Thomas Bauer.

Because it's a little bit complicated I'll post each Thomas Bauer in another post!

The rest is unsure.. can't find further details. But because of the topics it seems to be same author.

Just found out #13 is also translator.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

And all the other books, for which Thomas Bauer is a translator.

There are some books left, which are notvftom one of these 3 authors.

#15 done https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
#13 is https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
wasn't sure about these only by topic matching ones (found only one in his list of publications) and didn't see anything about him being a translator at first glimpse - so didn't move the translations

#12 is here https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

[Vivien]

Here's the proof for him being the same as translator

Same photo and biography as at his own works publishers page.

This is by the Irish author John C. Lennox from the book "Hat die Wissenschaft Gott begraben?: Eine kritische Analyse moderner Denkvoraussetzungen" (German edition of "God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God?") and not by the Australian Children's books author John Lennox.

#19: Corrected; thanks.

I hate to say this, but this book , is under the wrong author. I wrote this book and it claims that this weirdo wrote it. I even have the kindle account that published it, as well as the original google docs version. Can you please fix this?

Moved to a new author profile. In future, please make requests without using epithets.
