message 1: by Kelly (new)

Kelly Rand (kellyrand) | 4 comments Hi there,

I am the Kelly Rand who is an author in this book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

However, there's another Kelly Rand and she's listed as the author. I have two underscores and I believe she only has one.

I am at http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Is it possible to fix this? Could I have fixed it myself without coming to ask you?

Thanks in advance.

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Yup. I've moved it over to your profile. And it doesn't sound like you're a librarian, so you couldn't have done it.

Can I ask you something? How do you check how many spaces you have to leave between the names, or how are you inserting the correct authors name in the edit?

It depends. If it's a Goodreads author with a fairly common name, I'll copy-paste their name from the edit page of one of their other books. Elsewise, I'll just edit the author profile, and copy/paste from there.
By the way, you don't need to put the Arabic part of my name. You can just call me "lafon" if it's easier.

It didn't occur to me to check the other books. Nice.

Thank's a ton. Very helpful.
