Edward (throne3d) | 2 comments On J.S. Cooper's Goodreads profile page, the website is listed as http://jscooperauthor.com/about-j-s-c...
This results in a 404 error on the website, and after a quick search around, it seems like it should probably point to http://jscooperauthor.com/biography/ instead. I was redirected to this group when I clicked "edit data", and this appears to be the correct section to post this in – sorry if I got something wrong.

Edward (throne3d) | 2 comments Oh, okay. The message says "Sorry, this author is on Goodreads and is responsible for editing their own data. If you see a typo or other error, then you may want to report it in the Goodreads Librarians Group." – I thought that meant it was mainly the author but librarians could also fix small changes.

lethe | 16359 comments Yes, that is a confusing message, as librarians can't do anything about it :)

Apart from the author, only staff can, but I doubt they would change a link to a website.
