Donna | 6 comments For the book Dark and Dangerous Things II, I misspelled the name of one of the authors. It should be M.A. Chiappetta, but I entered it as M.A. Chiappettaa. When I tried to correct it, it would not let me edit or delete the name.

Instead, I just added an additional author with the name spelled correctly, but I'd really like to delete the misspelled name, please.

Can you help?

Here's the listing in question:

Any idea why I couldn't?

Sandra | 31478 comments Donna, you need to be a librarian. Authors only have limited editing ability.

Donna | 6 comments I thought I was a librarian. When I go to "edit details" I see this message:
Important: if you're on this page you have been granted a special "librarian" or author status, and can edit book data. Don't take this responsibility lightly—if you can help correct any inaccuracies or add any missing data, please do so! But only make changes if you're sure they're correct.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments You have author status which has limited librarian abilities for a number of reasons. There are some things that require full librarian status I.e changing book covers

Donna | 6 comments Hmm. Well, thank you.
I thought I did have librarian status.
