Alina Popescu (alina-popescu) | 6 comments Good morning. I've been having this problem a lot and unfortunately I can't correct it myself. There is a translator with the same name as me - Alina Popescu, so when people add books translated by her, they keep showing up as books I've written. The latest is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
All I could do was add a second translator with a different spelling (added a ___ because I had no other idea). Could you please remove me as the translator? Thank you! https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

free (frdn) | 5200 comments moved the book into Alina[2spaces]Popescu

your name is the default Alina[1space]Popescu...so if an autoimport or someone added book with that name, it will be landed in your page...
if that happen again, just post again so librarian can fix that...

Alina Popescu (alina-popescu) | 6 comments Thank you so much. I know, and I tried to figure out who is posting the books, but the publisher does not do it, nor the translator, so I am left with the only option of reaching out to librarians.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #3 - Does not matter who is posting them, imported books from Amazon and other sites go to the Single space profile, that is just how it is.

Alina Popescu (alina-popescu) | 6 comments Yeah, I know, I was just hoping it was actually someone adding them. That would have been easier to handle on my own :)

XXX (wfdealmeida) | 431 comments I THINK you can request your author profile to be changed by adding spaces between your name, like Alina[7spaces]Popescu, but I'm not familiar with the process

At least this way you would avoid that problem in case you decide to try it

Alina Popescu (alina-popescu) | 6 comments Thanks. For now it's a book every few months, if there are more that show up, I will consider that
