Can't refesh stats

[Jacqueline]

I tried refreshing the stats but it says I need to be a librarian. I have my old edition and my new edition when I combined my pen names, so I suspect that causing problems.

Thanks!

No. You did not cause any problems. It's a current system bug....off to refresh for you (tells me sometimes that I need to be a goodreads librarian, too, even though I am).

The stats not refreshing themselves is a second site bug—we're just not having the best year so far.

Ah, good to know. Thanks, then I won't worry about it.

Actually, having different author names in the primary author slot of different editions certainly can cause stats not to update properly. Among other issues.

Jacqueline, what name was this book first published under?

[Jacqueline]

Oops, now the old edition is primary with on my author page and dashboard and my overall stats have gone down. The cover with the outline of the woman on the cover is the primary edition. Thanks.

Jacqueline, what name was this book first published under?

[Jacqueline]

It was originally the Mewis name and I had my works split under the two different pen names. Then combined all my work under the Jp name with updated covers and combined the editions.

Changing valid editions in the Goodreads database is a violation of Goodreads policy. See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

I have reverted all such changes.

Since the book was initially published under H.G. Mewis, that needs to be the primary author for all editions. I edited accordingly.

I apologize. I did not realize this. However, that book version no longer exists since I do not write under that name any longer. I don't mind combining the issues, but is there anyway other way to fix this issue to have my current pen name primary?
