Goodreads Author profiles needing merging BY GR STAFF pt. 5
This book has been automatically merged with the wrong author (same author name, but different author):http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
A NEW author with the same name should be created and assigned to this title.

This doesn't fit the purpose of this thread since it didn't need an employee, but I have fixed it.
This GR author: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... has 2 spaces, but the 1 space profile is empty(http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...), the book that was on it, was also hers..
Also from another thread:"This author https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
should be combined with this author: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show..."

I was doing some clean-up and noticed that several authors who have the title of "author" in their actual name. These are all Goodreads Authors. Just thought I'd mention it.Some examples:
Author Mary A. Wasowski
Faith Anna (Author)
Honi Borden (Author Speaker Author)
Author/Biographer Christine Gilbert Author Marvela Dawnay Biography
Christian James (Author)
As per this thread: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...Author has requested that this profile
http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/20...
be merged into
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Bit odd though because 1 is a "user" profile, and 2 "an author". Not sure so over to Rivka :)

This is not the same Peter Ochs who writes about Judaic studies.

Thanks - was a bit perturbed by that one, also confused as couldn't see how an import would create a user account!
