Abcdarian | 26579 comments This was answered in another thread. You need to claim a different profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... The link for claiming it is at the bottom of that page ("Is this you? Let us know.")

message 107: by Jen (new)

Jen Minkman (jenminkman) | 21 comments This reading sample, put out on various sales channels by my publisher, was added to my author dashboard. I'd like to see it either deleted (I don't really know why people would want to rate a reading sample - it's not a book, just a few chapters) or attributed to Dutch Venture Publishing, not my author name. I hope this is possible.

Jen, it is listed as a separate ebook on Amazon, from which it imported. It does need to stay on Goodreads, under your author name, but I did make it clearer that it is just an except, not the full book.


message 109: by Kevin (new)

Kevin Fleming | 15 comments I've just added my 2nd book, The Mines of Kothkish (The Chronicles of Midway #2) but it has been listed under the wrong author of the same name, Kevin Fleming. The 1st is, The Storyteller's Book (The Chronicles of Midway #1) is listed correctly. I don't know how to correct this. I've sent email to helpdesk but got no reply yet, can anyone please help.

moved the book to your profile.
Made a series for both books: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1408...

When you add books yourself, you have to add two spaces in your name, Kevin^^Fleming, with ^ is a space. This is to distinguish you from the other Kevin Fleming.

John | 8 comments I'm a contributor to this volume (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...), so I would like it to show up on my Author Page (https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...).

Instead, it shows up here (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...), along with this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...) and this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...), both of which are already on my Author Page. In short, all three of these books should be removed from this other author's page.

Thanks for your help!

Steve (steve_white) | 1 comments Hi,

The only book I wrote is "Homegrown Terror (Project Forge #1)" and yet there are over 60 works on my author page! Could you get rid of all of the others from my profile, as I did not write them?

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thanks
Steve

message 119: by Philip (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #118 - BTW, this is going to happen whenever a new book comes in from import or when a user creates a book for one of the other authors with the same name, since you claimed the single space profile.

It would have been better to have your profile name changed to include and extra space(s), then have the books moved out.

Actually, no. I dealt with moving Steve to his own profile. But Wolf, you edited one edition of each book, which has created a whole bunch of new profiles, but leaves the other editions linked to the single-space profile.


message 122: by Abcdarian (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Also made a wicked mess of Steve^^White, who already had lots of books of his own. I'm trying to weed out & send back to Steve^White.

D.E. Jackson (Wo1f) | 9 comments Hi, I'm still seeing

Mishka and the Nyfties

on my Author profile. It's also on my Facebook under the Goodreads app.

EDITED:Ok, I've delete the Goodreads app from Facebook for now. I'll check back later to see if Mishka and the Nyfties book is gone from my author profile.
Thanks! :)


message 129: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26448 comments #129 Sorry, I thought I had moved them all. There were 2 editions of Mishka. Moved both now from your profile.

Scott | 8540 comments https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Author's name is Simon, but all his books say "Si." Is this ok or should it be changed?

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
It's fine, since it is a more complete version of the name.


message 135: by Ehab (new)

Ehab Gamal | 10 comments اللهث وراء الله wrong auther and the true one is A.W. Tozer this book is arabic edititon of The Pursuit of God


message 136: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16359 comments #136 Added A.W. Tozer and combined:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Because the book is in Arabic, the author name should be added in Arabic and according to Google translate the name seems to be correct. If it isn't, please give the right name.

Ehab Gamal | 10 comments i think this page of auther was made wrong

message 139: by Ehab (new)

Ehab Gamal | 10 comments lethe wrote: "What is wrong about it?"
its for A.W. Tozer but written in wrong way in arabic


message 140: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16359 comments It appears like that on the cover (bottom left corner) and unless you can provide the correct spelling in Arabic it needs to stay.

message 143: by Michael (new)

Michael Reed (rhydermike) | 4 comments Hiya

I've just attempted to add one of my old books to my author page, but it's become associated with a different author with the same name.

The book with the incorrect attribution is:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

My (correct) author homepage is:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments #144: Book moved to your author profile, but the ISBN may not be correct. It looks like an unfinished ISBN 13 maybe - ?

Also, are any other of these books yours? (2 pages) https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...


message 145: by Michael (new)

Michael Reed (rhydermike) | 4 comments Thank you, Abcdarian. I've corrected the ISBN.

Thanks again.

Could someone remove it?
