Not all those books are by the Goodreads Author. No merge.

How can we make the series show up on the correct profile?

Think it's technically there, just cached?

Wait a couple days.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments This one is a bit weird. The goodreads author Kenneth MacLean
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
publishes at least some of his books as Kenneth James Michael MacLean. Some of those can be clearly seen on his original page, some on
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
I suspect he is also Kenneth J.M. MacLean
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

I have moved all the plain (and clearly other) Kenneth MacLeans to Kenneth^^MacLean, but it seems to me it might make more sense for the goodreads author to use the name he publishes under.

I leave it in your good hands! Thanks.

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Please merge no-period-after-initial author profile Moira J Moore

With goodreads author Moira J. Moore

(Book editions also need combining/merging)

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... (remove MR & middle name?)

The author's first name is Michele. The first profile should be removed/merged with the second one.

Hao Guang Tse (haoguang) | 1 comments Hi, can someone help to merge my author profile

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

with the below?

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

My full and correct name is Tse Hao Guang.

Also, I am a contributor to this book could it be reflected as well?

New page, new reminder.

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.

We don't merge pen-names. Any book of hers published under both names will have as primary (for all editions) whichever name it was published under first, and as secondary the other name if that's what's on its cover.

But neither profile is claimed, so the post doesn't belong in this thread, please.

Eddie (estaples) | 8 comments My apologies. Thanks for your help.


message 99: by Emma Alice (new)

Emma Alice Johnson (freaktension) | 23 comments I don't know if this counts as a merge, but for this book:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I am listed as MP Johnson and it goes to this profile:

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

But it should be listed as M.P. Johnson and go to this profile:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thanks!
