Posted the goodreads author merge to thread at http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Caution: some of the following names the C may be middle initial ( "C **** **" names instead of "C. **** **" may be "**** C. **" )
C Packard
C Page Edward should be Edward C. Page
C Paine
C Paige Gutierrez

I have done #95, anyway, and all but one merged.
Have checked up to #106 and the only one that can't be done is Clann nan Gaidheal (C Nan Gaidheal An Gnaillean A' Cheile) - the only reference I can find to this name is on Amazon, but I think it may be two names. But unless someone adds that specific book, the profile will be deleted in the end, anyway.
#111 is also done.

As for a continuing list... Will look into starting another thread at some point to work on it.

A note on #128: "C P Sennet" is a Goodreads Author and that's really how his name is spelled.

Doesn't matter; unless they got a staff exception (which would show in a librarian note) in the goodreads database it has to have initials with periods and no spaces between. I'll ask on staff thread in case note just got left off. Plus, most of their book covers show "CP Sennett" -- more likely staff exception would have been to say "CP" without a space than C-space-P if author proved "CP" was a name not pronounced cee pee and was instead actually a legal first name with a different pronunciation ( at which point, capitalization would want it to be Cp but gr staff if making that much of an exception likely to keep it capitalized as on bookcover).
