As I have explained before, we cannot do that. Please see https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

The author has claimed the shorter version of the name, so we don't merge.

Message 679 has been overlooked ... or pending. I see other requests being taken care of and mine overlooked without explanation. Help? Please. :)

Empty, but has followers
An extra @ in the Goodreads Author profilehttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
This is the non-GR profile with no @
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
It was added by "onix random house uk" but I can't see any evidence that she has used that prefix on any edition of her book.
This Goodreads Author has a blog post from 2013 that refers to a book called The Book of Fatimah. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
The book doesn't exist because it was published as The Pen and the Sword

by (non-GR profile)
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
who also has the Goodreads Author profile L. Webb which does NOT match the book
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
I think the three profiles need to be combined into 14154063.L_Webb and then renamed to L_Todd_Webb to match all the covers.
Trivia 1: Rick Jackson is a character in both books.
Trivia 2: there is a trivia question on Goodreads which refers to the original work

Sorry Rivka I didn't get a notification for the other thread. I've responded in the other one now. Guess my email notifications aren't working.

Goodreads keeps the original name a book was published under as the first author on all editions of the work, and we do not merge two distinct pen-names.

I have already moved all the books, but one follower remains on the unclaimed profile

They are both Evelyn Bliss. The first book, originally titled "Kitty Eats the Rooster" by "Miss Evelyn Bliss" has now had an update of title, cover and author name to be now titled "Kitten's Initiation" by "Evelyn Bliss"
Please rename this author as "Evelyn Bliss", and remove the "Miss Evelyn Bliss" author profile from Goodreads (i.e. I've dropped the 'Miss' from the title and even the original book no longer uses this as the author).
Thank you.

Not all books on the unclaimed page belong to the Goodreads Author. The ones that do should be individually edited, which can be done by any librarian. Start a new thread in this folder if you need assistance.

I prefer to have all merged into the Daniel_P_Swenson profile, if possible. Thanks.
Please merge: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...with https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Thanks

It looks like those two pen names are deliberately kept separate. In any case, neither of those are claimed profiles, so this is not the correct thread. If you need help with merging two unclaimed profiles, start a new thread in this folder.

Merged all except https://www.goodreads.com/author/show..., as some foreign editions are published under that name.
