New thread.

Reminder: Please only list authors in this topic who need to be merged by a GR staff member. That is, when one of the profiles has been claimed by the GR-member author.

Do not list authors for disambiguation, authors who are deceased, or authors needing merging where neither profile has been claimed.

Posts that do not belong in this thread may be deleted.

Also note: Blank profiles (no books, fans, quotes, etc.) will not be merged. They will be left for the cleanup script.

The way he shelved it is actually more conclusive.

I need to add Deeper (isbn 1490324666, publisher CreateSpace) by Jane Thomson under my author profile so I can offer book giveaways. Deeper is the paperback of the e-book Deeper (different cover) already under my author profile (see http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...).

Got #10. For future reference, please start a new thread for requests to move a single book to your profile; they can be completed by any librarian.

ok, thanks, I will.

This author is doing some weird stuff ... I think she's trying to delete her books off of the site.

Please provide links to author profiles, not book pages.

Jennifer Van Wie | 1 comments My publisher added an author page and I had already established one. Can you please combine to two?

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
and I think this is the other one however it is hard to pick up because it diverts to the first one. Most confusing, so I used my giveaway address. Does this help?

Jennifer, you have two user accounts (one linked to the author account), not two author accounts. You'll need to use the Contact Us link on the Help page. Link to both the profile you are logged in as and that author profile.

Actually, that's the same GR Author as the previous. Look at her book list and that of the GR Author with 2 spaces.

K.C. Wayland (waylandprod) | 14 comments Can someone correct my Author profile http://www.goodreads.com/author/edit/... --- My correct spelling is Kc Wayland , and my books I've written should say the same as well. Thanks!

Found the other one for you; a search of just about any name with an initial frequently comes up with another profile with no period after the initial.

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... Goodreads author
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... (no period initial)

These two profiles needs to be merged. Thank you."


The empty one will get cleaned up by the script that deletes blank authors. No need for a merge.

They aren't initials. That's how my name is spelled.

message 48: by Debra (new)

Debra Snyder (debzlight) Hello, I need the blank profile and titles for "Deb Snyder" to be combined with my actual author profile as "Debra Snyder". My children's titles sell as "Deb" and not "Debra" and Goodreads won't let me claim my latest book and as I ret to merge them I create new blank ones...ugh. Please help or direct me on how I can do this myself. Thank you!!! Debra "Deb" Snyder :)
