message 1: by L. (new)

L. Benitez | 9 comments Hello Goodreads,

I'm a contributing author to the Anthology "Into the Mist" and I would like to add my name to the book page. The book link is here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

If you would like to double check, here's the Amazon page where you'll find my name L. Benitez in the author section (you'll see my picture if you scroll down): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1523...

Also, here's my Amazon profile with the Into the Mist book title as well: http://www.amazon.com/L.-Benitez/e/B0...

Thank you very much. It's important that my Goodreads page matches my Amazon page. I appreciate the help!

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments Added your name to the paperback edition and corrected it on Kindle edition. There are still some authors missing on either edition and they will have to be added.

Btw, are any of these books yours?

L. Benitez | 9 comments Thank you, Michael!

The answer is no, that is another L. Benitez account. I've had that issue in the past by accidentally adding my books to that person's account since I was new to GR. Could you delete the books from that profile? The Shinobi 7 books (Trials of a Warrior, Poisoned Battleground, and Clash of the Clans) are all my work. As for the last one, Reading Tasks, it's not mine. That's concerning if this author is claiming my books. Could this be corrected?

Thank you for all that you've done! I see that Into the Mist was added to my profile :)

L. Benitez | 9 comments Do I need to report the other L. Benitez? I have no idea how long this person has claimed to have written my books. It's misinformation. If a librarian can simply delete it from the person's profile and database, I would have nothing to worry about.

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments Goodreads uses spaces between names to disambiguate between authors of same name. It is not visible anywhere except edit pages (visible only to author and librarians) and does not affect searches. You are listed on GR as L.^^Benitez where ^ denotes a space. If you notice, the other profile is not claimed by anyone and is a default profile created by Goodreads automatically when author name (for any book) was added as L. Benítez.

We can certainly move your books to your page as they seem to be added with author name L. Benítez by mistake.

L. Benitez | 9 comments Is there any way to delete the default profile? If there's any way to correct this mistake I certainly appreciate it. My initial worry was that another author claimed my work but if you say it was a default profile created by GR, that's another story. Is there a way to only have one L. Benitez profile, that one profile being my own?

Thank you for your patience, Michael.

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments I moved the Shinobi books to your profile and combined them with the editions already listed under yours. All your books are sorted now.

If there are other authors who published with L. Benitez, we cannot let only one author profile (in this case yours) to exist, can we? :)

When you add your books in future, be sure to use L.^^Benitez as author name and they would get automatically credited to you. If you notice any of your future books on GR not appearing on your profile, you can request in this group and one of the librarians can move it to your profile.

Hope that helps :)
