Redangel333 | 275 comments Earl Warren seem to be mixed with an author of the same name publishing german books. An example is this series Blutiges Benzin which is wrongly associated with the US author.
I put this under projects as a lot of the books would require some corrections of title and language and maybe Co-Authors as well just judging from the look. Some of the books seem to belong to series as well.

Lau Maia | 444 comments I'll be doing some of this when I have time. The correct author profile should be Earl Warren with two spaces.

Redangel333 | 275 comments I took care of a lot of Komissar X ones, they should all now be under the correct profile with the two spaces. However I did not add them to the series https://www.goodreads.com/series/2116... as I am unaware if the numbering is correct and was not sure if some of them are supposed to be merged or not as they have the same title but a different number in the series it seems.

Redangel333 | 275 comments Is there a clever way of handling the ones were the wrong author is a second author? I think I am not able to just edit the name, I need to delete and add, correct? example for this is this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

There is no clever way. If the number of spaces for a secondary author is wrong, there is no other way than delete the wrong author and add the correct author, for each edition of the book.

Redangel333 | 275 comments I am not very experienced with editing author pages, but the profile with the two spaces should be this author and could be updated with some info: https://earlwarren.wordpress.com/autor/

Thanks for clarifying, I updated a few of the the books accordingly. There are still some to do.
