Empress (the_empress) I know we are not supposed to put DR. in the name, but if it is a goodreads author, is it being changed by a super librarian, or there is no need.

This is an example?

Also when there is a case like this should we separate the names into two profiles?

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments On GR Employees can change GR author profiles.

Add to the GR Authors that need merging thread for rivka

Note that they are using Dr and she will deal with it

Edit: Separate to two profiles one for each language, only if the book has been translated to english. If not translated then leave the name as the other language

message 4: by Amy (new)

Amy Marie (amymarie_author) | 10 comments I'm not sure where to post, but my question also has to do with my author's name. My regular account is under my full name Amy Marie Strausbaugh, and my author account is under my pen name Amy Marie. I'm just starting to set up my author page, but in some of the area's like the recent updates section, my name is listed as Amy Marie Marie. Is this something I've set wrong? Can it be fixed? Thanks for the help!

Amy

Your author page looks fine to me. Since librarians cannot help with Goodreads author profiles, maybe you can send Support a screenshot of the page where you see the incorrect name.

(Next time it's better to start a new thread in the Book Issues folder.)

ETA Ah yes, scrolling down on your author page I see what you mean. (With "recent updates", I thought you meant the feed. My bad :) ) Support should take a look at this.
