Wrong Author
Done. Your profile has 2 spaces between A.C. and James to differentiate it from the other one.And Merry Christmas to you too! :-)
Hmmmm... I did not know that! About the spaces, I mean. Thanks :)
This book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) links to the wrong Eric Wilder. The correct Eric Wilder should ONLY be linked to this title (I'm a contributor and I originally created the listing for the book). Can we get a double space to his name to fix this?

We already have 1, 2, 3 spaces.
There are two spellings of Dostoyevsky, one of which only returns two books (one being Crime and Punishment). The first one should probably be changed to match the second.https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Not sure if this is the place to ask. I've just added a translation of The Best Ever Vegetarian Cookbook, De Vegetarische Keuken.
The original edition has Linda Frazer listed as the author, but my translation says Linda Fraser (with an S instead of a Z). Looking closely at the cover of the original edition, I think it says Fraser there too. Can someone check this and if needed, correct it?

Worldcat agrees too. Changed :)
Generally if Worldcat and Amazon agree that that ISBN matches a specific author then change it, but make a note in the Comment box before saving. Covers can be wrong though, so be cautious there.
Hello,This book has been incorrectly included in my author profile. How does Dropshipping work - Start Your Own Business Today! I am not the author. I share the same name as the author of this book.
My author profile is as follows: Brian Bern.
Might someone be able to help remove How does Dropshipping work from my author profile?
Many thanks.
Hi - could someone make me the author of this book:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
someone created it with Mark[]Lawrence as the author rather than Mark[double space]Lawrence
Thanks!
Hi, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'll go ahead. I just noticed that a book series is under the wrong author i.e. there are 2 authors with the same name. I thought with adding an extra space between this would be okay, but unfortunately not.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... is not the author who wrote the Silver Bullet series, but this author is https://www.goodreads.com/author/show....
Could someone help me?
Thanks
For some reason the Silver Bullet author had 3 spaces. I changed it to 2 spaces, so adding a space will work now. I'll do them.#25 done.
Hello,Four books have been incorrectly added to my author profile. I am the author of Sword of Damocles and no other books. I share the same name as the author of these other four books:
Dealing with a relationship break up
Conquer your phobia today
Teenage Pregnancy
Easy, Natural Road to Vegetarianism
My author profile is as follows: Brian Bern
Might someone be able to help remove the other four works from my author profile?
Many thanks.
the author of The Ecology of Urban Environments is Robert A. Francis, not the poet Robert Francis, who passed away in 1987.

There appear to be two authors named Fiona Hill, one writes romances and shows up in Goodreads, the other works at the Brookings Institution and is a Russia specialist. The second Fiona Hill doesn't show up on Goodreads and her books have been wrongly attributed to the first.
Hi! I believe there is a mistake in the name of author here (Jan Neruda / Jana Neruda): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
and that it actually belongs under this title: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Anybody can help?
Looks like a typo on the covers. I'm going to change them to match, but leaving a note so it doesn't get changed back unwittingly.
Hi, This book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) has been listed on my GR Authors account but it's by a different Alexander Rose. Would you mind moving it to the correct page? (I'm pretty sure the other Alexander Rose already has a page with his works.) Thanks.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...Hello,
This book (the page for the French edition, at least) has Jean-Michel Oughourlian listed as the author. Should be René Girard.
Thanks!
This book:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Should be attributed to this author:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

The book, Wandering in Exile https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... Should be posted under my profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...And not https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
#49 fixed - you are Peter^^Murphy, where ^ is a space. It's really helpful if you can mention that when making similar requests in future :)
