Abcdarian | 26579 comments Done, but I'm wondering why you are using the middle initial when your books are published without it. There is another author profile by that name with your books listed: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... The two profiles could be combined, but probably should be without the initial.

Are all the books on the no-initial profile his? I don't think so. And initials are better than extra spaces for disambiguation.

Eric Douglas | 35 comments To be honest, I would prefer to drop the L. from my Goodreads profile. Can you do that for me? When I set up the account a couple years ago, I wasn't thinking it through properly.

Not all of the books on the Eric Douglas profile are mine. The Leadership Equation and Blessed Assurance are not by me.

Since we have at least two different Eric Douglases (you and the author of the two books you mentioned as not yours), there are two options if you want to lose the initial:
1) Make you Eric-2space-Douglas. The extra space between your first and last names would only show up on book edit pages and your profile edit page, but it would tell the system which books are yours (as the middle initial does now).
2) Make you the default (single-space) author, and the other guy Eric-2space-Douglas. That means all new books imported by any Eric Douglas will land on your profile, but we can move off any that don't belong to you.

Preference?

Eric Douglas | 35 comments Since I would not want to mess with someone else's things for my convenience, please change me to Two Space Eric.

To be clear, the other guy is not a Goodreads member. He wouldn't even know, let alone care. He just has books listed here.

Still want the 2space profile?


message 8: by Eric (new)

Eric Douglas | 35 comments Oh, then that is different. No. Please make me Eric Douglas with one space. And he will have to deal with it when or if he joins. ;-)

Thank you for pointing that out.

Ok, done.

You: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Other guy: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Let us know if any other books need moving.
