SOLVED/COMPLETED Author profiles with "C initial" oddities ("C A" thru "C P")

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

Found these profiles that have odd initials so need standardizing (most likely periods added--did not check if editing involved goodreads authors that should be cross-posted to staff merge thread or if no books/fans so can be skipped to be removed by auto-sweep. See http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/60... for standard format when initials involved):

Page 1 is finished, please start edits on page 2.

C A L ... C Alan Bradley

Not sure about C Ashraf, as his/her book is written in Malayalam I couldn't find if this name is correct.

Does that mean you are working on message 2?

[Rinou]

Sorry I didn't tell, I've done 1 to 3 (a lot of authors without books, so I think they will be erased by auto-sweep), and I'm working on message 4

[Debbie's Spurts (D.A.)]

Thank you!

I think you left some spaces where they aren't supposed to be though. See http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/60... which shows examples: "...Initials in author names
* There should be a period after each initial.
* There should be no spaces between consecutive initials.
* There should be one space (excepting disambiguation) between an initial and a non-initial.

Examples:

* J.K. Rowling
* J.R.R. Tolkien
* Philip K. Dick
* F. Scott Fitzgerald
* George R.R. Martin ..."

So, C. A. Belmond should be "C.A. Belmond"; C. A. Rogers is "C.A. Rogers" …

[Rinou]

I wasn't sure, I'm going to change when there isn't a disambiguation needed. Thanks.

4 is done.

All done

For C B S News I merged it with CBS News (already existing profile), but must it be changed into C.B.S. News or not?

I don't think I've ever seen it with periods before or with spaces between the letters on any shows or books; but, maybe staff or another librarian should weigh in.
