Christina | 2 comments Thanks! It's the publisher who doesn't know my name. :O


message 52: by Bill (new)

Bill Morris | 1 comments Hello. I am having the same problem as many of the above authors. My novel "Inside The Fire" is attributed to another Bill Morris, one born in 1952. Here is the ISBN # 0692253114. As this is my first novel I do not yet have an Author page.


message 53: by Abcdarian (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments I have moved your book to a new author profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
If you would like to claim this profile there is a link at the bottom of that page ("Is this you? Let us know."). Your name has 2 spaces (Bill^^Morris) to differentiate it from the other author.

Amy Butcher (amybutcher) | 5 comments This book Visiting Hours https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
has the author listed as Amy Butcher which is correct. Call this Amy#1
Unfortunately, is not the same Amy Butcher who has this author profile
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Call this Amy #2
Is it possible to remove Visiting Hours from Amy #2 listing?

Angela Graham (angelagraham) | 3 comments I would like to ask for help removing a book from my profile that is written by another author of the same name. The book entitled, 'Packaged' written by Angela Graham and S.E. Hall was not authored by me. Thank you.

J.M. Mitchell (j_m_mitchell) | 3 comments Two issues: First, on my author page (J.M. Mitchell) there are 3 books attributed to me that are not mine, and I did not post them. The incorrect ones are: Bourbon Penn Issue 1; International Cultural Relations; and Arkansas Melody and Other Poems. How do I get these removed? Second, I was putting my second novel (The Height of Secrecy, which is released next month) onto my page, and it would not allow me to put in the ISBN because it is supposedly already in the system (as, Height of Secrecy by J. Mitchell, and I did not post it). So, how do I get this erroneous entry (title and author incorrect) removed so that I can update my page with the ISBN? Thx.

Arenda | 26448 comments #58 Moved the 3 books from your profile.

message 67: by Şahika (new)

Şahika Hi,

The "Viennese Romance" novel's author is David Vogel, but the David Vogel who wrote "Married Life". It seems there is another author named David Vogel, and he is wrongfully listed as the author of Viennese Romance. How can I correct it?
Thanks!


message 68: by Utopian (last edited Oct 12, 2014 10:32AM) (new)

Utopian | 224 comments Re: 68- Book moved under the correct David Vogel. We separate the authors with the same name by adding additonal spaces between their names. The David Vogel who wrote Married Life and Vienese Romance has 2 spaces between his name and surname while the other has 1.

Şahika Thank you Utopian.
I also am not sure whether novelist has a book named "Das Lied vom großen Tod 01".
Best wishes.

Chloe Walsh (chloewalsh) | 29 comments Hi, my book Forever We Fall (ASIN:B00OE8JKNW) is currently listed under the wrong author. Could you please change it for me. thanks x


message 71: by Abcdarian (last edited Oct 12, 2014 06:20PM) (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments 71: Moved to the right profile and added to the series. Your profile has 2 spaces between the names (Chloe^^Walsh) to differentiate it from the other same name author. If you add the extra space your books should go to the right place. But we can always move them. :-)

Blake Atwood (batwood) | 2 comments "Iranian Cinema in a Global Context" appears as a book I authored on my author page (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...), but it's by a different Blake Atwood. A fix would be appreciated!

Thanks for separating my publications from those by the author of "You Too Can Be Free," but there may have been some partial misunderstanding: my books are still listed as being by "James Henry Taylor Jr." (author of "You Too Can Be Free"),but my name is "James Henry Taylor" (NO Jr.).
Thanks again for your help.


message 76: by Abcdarian (last edited Oct 24, 2014 02:01PM) (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments 76 fixed. Or not. Now on https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... On the assumption all of these are yours I will request that the profile be combined with yours. If any books don't belong, please post again.


message 77: by James (new)

James Taylor | 6 comments Thanks for getting the "Jr." problem straightened out. There's still one other thing, though: these stories don't show up on my author page. The only story of mine that's listed there is "Kite Kills Kenneth Kendall." Can I fix this myself, or does a librarian need to do it?

message 80: by Wendy (new)

Wendy Clarke | 6 comments I have just created an author page and it has included books by other authors with the same name. Please could someone remove all books except "Room in your heart" which is mine.

These three books are NOT mine:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

This book IS mine:

James Grey (jamesgrey) | 1 comments This book is listed as one of my books. It is not mine, I did not write this book. How do I get this removed?

message 91: by Philip (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #91 - Done.

Changed Author to "James^^Grey" where ^=space.

BTW, you will get books added to your profile from imports or by users that only put 1 space between the names, for any Author with your name, since you only have 1 space.

Pretty quick fix for us, so just post here anytime it happens.
