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

and this one

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

are the same person, which one should I keep? "Gräfin" means "Countess", and I know titles are not allowed, but since that profile has more books I thought better to ask first.

Thanks

I would combine into the Gräfin profile (the wrong one but it is by far the oldest profile) then rename that one to the non-Gräfin name.

Moloch | 3975 comments Thank you, done as you suggested.

I have another question about authors, I post it here:

In this author (not Goodreads Author) profile, http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... the "about" section is part blog entry, part promotion. Looking at the edits, this was done by a deleted member.

Should it stay like this, or should it be more similar to other author profiles?

Banjomike | 5166 comments Needs a tidy up.

Moloch | 3975 comments I don't know where to get some info about the author, as there's no Wikipedia article and the official page doesn't provide much info, so is it ok if I just delete the content as it is now?

vicki_girl | 2764 comments I would keep the last paragraph and delete the rest.
