Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments The following author profiles need editing to match goodreads standards.
- Most just need a period after middle initial and editions combined as appropriate.
- If editing tries to merge with goodreads author, please cross-post just that author to http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... so staff can do the merge
- in some cases, where last name looks odd, could be a glitch with some data imports where it is not an initial but a character like á, ü, ê, etc. being replaced with a space (For example, "Fredrik Kötten" and "Jane Pérez" may have accidentally imported as "Fredrik K Tten" and "Jane P Rez").
Author profiles to edit:

Bertha A Jones
Bertha C Krall
Bertha E Shapleigh
Bertha E Segal-Swan

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Bertha Estela Loya Rojas etal. (probably meant to say "et. al." Which is still wrong)

Bertha E. L. Stockbridge no space between initials and might be same author as Bertha Edson Lay Stockbridge)

Bertha Haffner Palmer 1868- Fr Ginger

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Cool ... All done for Bertha.

That's all I'm posting (had time on hands last week so took a stab at some common a and b first names, searching authors under "add book/author").

If any librarian wants to take a stab at some other common names. When writing a comment, under "add book/author", where ^ indicates a space just search author for first-name^a^, first-name^b^, ... first-name^z^—the space after middle initial finds non-goodreads standard author profile. Can right-click (or on touchpad hold down) to open author profiles to edit if you are a librarian or add to threads in this group if not.
