Re #849: I made a stab at combining profiles that had small variations in the author name, but this could possibly be a project for someone to research. Works Projects Administration There's also Works Progress Administration and state-connected author profiles for each.

Thanks in advance! :)))
These book records need to be combined:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Thanks! The author's name is listed differently on each.

This ones possibly complicated. It appears (based on book covers) that the book "A harmony of the gospels for historical study" by Stevens and Burton (which I have in my possession) was possibly authored previously by just stevens.Either way for this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
The following title should be uncombined:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
While some of these:
https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=a+...+
Need combined, and this author (the burton of stevens and burton) has a date name (and a couple books assigned to him).
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Thanks in advance!
I am still waiting for this to be completed. Is any additional information required?Would you please combine these two books and maintain reviews?

Thanks!
This one's a bit of a mess. Several books and authors need to be combined.These books should be combined:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
There's also a duplicate author entry, but I don't know if the other books listed belong to the same author.
The author record for "M. T. Anderson" (with spaces) also lists these two that should be combined:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Horizon 4 should belong to this series, which was begun by Scott Westerfeld, and was continued by M. T. Anderson: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1848...
and so it has ANOTHER duplicate entry, under Scott Westerfeld:

#868 Done. Combined & fixed author names. Added Apex Predator to series & referred untitled to the supers for merging.

Librarians,Thank you in advance for your assistance. Yesterday I asked to have my book versions combined, a request you completed. Today, on my computer, under Ken Cruickshank's books, the correct tally of 18 ratings and 9 reviews is listed. But on my Kindle Fire, under my profile it states "1 Book by Ken Cruickshank" with two ratings averaging 3.5 stars – something I obviously don't want potential readers to see (an incorrect tally and rating). Could you please address this for me? I have a promotion that starts tomorrow. Thanks again, cheers from Oregon, Ken Cruickshank.
Also if someone can check into 865 - I only see 866 and up with notices indicating they were done :) Thanks in advance!And thanks again Ismail.
Please combine these:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
And

Thank you.

We combine all versions of a particular work together, including subsequent revisions that may have added coauthors and new content.
I've gone through and combined what should be. I think I got them all, but please double check and let me know if there's still something wrong.

In all the books I've added thats the first time I've encounter (or more likely noticed) that situation.
https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=ar...First two - also to my knowledge this was never written by Jenkins or Lehaye alone, only by both together. Its supplemental material to their jointly authored "left behind" 13 or 14 book series.
In fact if you look at the cover of the second title it shows Lehaye as an author also. Can we fix that too while we are at it?
https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=to...Looks like there could be a couple that could be combined.
Story is the same between the 50th anniversary edition, the complete edition, and the normal one at the top of the list.
Also I think probably the Thai edition should be combined?
Also - Wurmbrand was the author of all of them. I see Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) listed for a few of the titles.

You are welcome Ken :)
But regarding #865 I was wondering why do you want to uncombine this book?
It has the same title and the same author

Ismail - I thought that because one edition had just one author, and the other edition had a second, aditional author that perhaps there would be enough different content that it warranted being a separate book.
Z-Squared was kind enough to let me know that this is still just a difference of edition, and still the same book. I wouldn't want to combine, or uncombine books that don't warrant it. so if they don't, they don't :)
Thanks Ismail!
#881 Tim Lehaye was added as a primary author, and books were combined

You are welcome, and thanks for posting!
Now message #865 is done
#882 done#883 Richard Wurmbrand's books were combined,
#888 they are different books; one has the three volumes, and the other is volume 3 only.#889 done
#892 & 893: Done.
Thanks!Can you check the first two here:
https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8...
IF pat and patricia alexander are the same person the books, and author profiles both can be combined.
Thanks!
Thanks again! I'm going to go ahead and post another potential project here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
AND
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Are the same person. Suspect there are overlapping books as well.
R. A. Torrey is how his name is printed on the books. But I seem to recall something about preferring spelled out names in the rules.
https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=Ho...These three. Thanks!
While you're at it, I noticed duplicate authors here as well:

Ken and Ismail: I'm not sure which of you corrected the book review and rating issue I had on Kindle fires, but it is showing correctly now and I wanted to make sure I called out a thank you. Cheers.
#897: Found lots of variations of his name, merged profiles & am combining editions.

Wasn't me! I'm not a librarian. I thought about it since I add a fair bit of workload to the forum when I'm working on my project.. But haven't.
Thanks Abcdarian!

No one fixed this. It was a caching issue. When editions are combined, it takes 24-48 hours for all the related data to sort itself out on all platforms.
https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=Th...These two I believe can be combined as well.
Also the two author pages that they represent can be combined for sure.
https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8...Yet again two authors that can be combined.
James Gills, and Dr, James Gills are the same man.
