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.

Are all 15 of these your books? https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

If not, please start a new thread in this folder, and any librarian can help move over the ones which are.

(I would think it is the most logical to make the GR author the 1-space profile after the merge and then the 3-space the 2-space as the GR author is more popular and more likely to have new books)

Ivan Pozo-Illas (atrayo) | 1 comments Hello I'm a new Author here at Goodreads.

This is the profile I've claimed:

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

These are derelict unclaimed variants of my middle name:

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Here's a 3rd profile using my handle (pen name) of "Atrayo" followed by my proper name.

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

Thank you for the help in merging them together.

Brian Wu | 2 comments https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (unclaimed, 5 books, missing middle letter)
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (correct)

Thanks!

S. Roit | 15 comments New book out, and it's generated a new page. It belongs in my existing profile. I cannot change my name to simply S. Roit, either. Perhaps this would solve future issues?

In any case- here is the new book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The author prefers not to claim the profile with the initial.

Sherry, some of your older books or editions were under Sherry Roit, right?


message 391: by S. (new)

S. Roit | 15 comments I believe so. A different publisher listed some that way. All covers, however, say S. Roit and listed as such on all other (sales) sites.


message 392: by S. (new)

S. Roit | 15 comments I prefer the page as S. Roit. All works are, and will be, published as such. Using my full name it would seem this will be an issue each new book?

Thanks.

We can subsume S. Roit into the more complete Sherry Roit, but not the reverse.


message 394: by S. (new)

S. Roit | 15 comments Well... It never should have been the other way, but I digress. What does this mean for future books? Will I need to make this request each time?
