You can't merge a Goodreads Author profile. Only staff can. And bad news, any images from the merged profile are lost. But the author uploaded that one in 2011, so if she wants to upload it again I'd guess she can. Actually, looks like she has it as a user image already.

I have eleven books and would love to get them all together. I have tried, but haven't done it, obviously. I am throwing myself before you, groveling on the hard library floor. Oh great librarians use your magic making me eternally in your debt. Thanks. :)

This thread is for merging duplicate author pages, when one has been claimed. You need to claim your author profile using this link: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf..., and then wait to be approved.

He appears to published under both names, and they are not quite similar enough that I am comfortable combining them.

Also the same author Ed L. Miller has a profile as Ed Leroy Miller. Can those profiles be mergerd?
Re 212 & 213: This thread is for merging duplicate author pages when one has been claimed. Those authors need to claim their author profiles using the "is this you?" link on their author pages, and then wait to be approved.

Are any of these profiles claimed? If not, you are in the wrong thread. If so, links would help, but if the wrong profiles have no books, fans, quotes, etc., just leave them for the cleanup script.
