same author

[Ann aka Iftcan]

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... and http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... seem to be the same author, but they are listed separately. They show overlap in some of the books, but you can't combine one author's book with the others. Could someone please fix this?

[Thalia]

I think a super will have to take care of it because one of the Hardings have claimed their GR profile.

[Deon]

Not all those books are by the Goodreads Author, they should not be merged.

[Koenraad]

According to his website (http://www.john-harding.co.uk/index.p...), this John Harding has written no more then than the four books that appear on his author page.
All the books in the other profile are written by one or (probably) more others with the same name.

I've found a second profile for me that I can't claim because I already have an author profile.

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

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

Correct. Individual books should be edited to move them to the GR Author's page.

Good one: http://www.goodreads..."

Fixed. You should now also be able to add a profile picture.

I have two editions of the same book but one is not showing up on my author page because my author name is different. How do I change that? One says Paul a Williams (incorrect) and the other Paul Andrew Williams (correct name).

It was uploaded by my publisher

Thanks for your help!

This has been fixed.

The same author has two different pages based on accents in his name or lack thereof:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
I can try to fix this later myself, but if anybody else has the time to get on it before then... If I end up doing it, do I just need to correct his name for every book by adding accents?

10 done

[Sylvain]

Thanks, Z-squared!

[Julia]

I think this profile can be deleted: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

This is the correct one: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

#14 done as no GR authors involved

[Julia]

Thanks!

I think those are supposed to be the same, too:

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

Re: #16 Seems not the same actually; incorrect author name instead. Sorted.
