Wrong Author with Same Name

[Ken]

This book was listed under the wrong Ken Goldstein. Please add to my profile, Ken Goldstein, author of This is Rage and Endless Encores. I have had this problem before with duplicate author names. Also in trying to fix this myself I accidentally added another listing for the book under my name with no metadata which now needs to be deleted. Thank you for your help. Wish I could have fixed this myself.

Ken, moved to your profile & merged the empty edition.

You have 2 spaces between Ken & Goldstein, so if the bots or in this case another person adds your book it will automatically go to the one space person. That is how the database distinguishes between authors.

Next time you notice a book going to the wrong author, just post & we'll fix it in about 2 seconds. You aren't allowed to edit fellow authors work :)

Thank you, Sandra. Much appreciate your help!

Is it possible to delete the empty edition you merged (the version I accidentally created) since it’s just an empty shell likely to confuse people?

Merging means deleting here, but due to the cache it can take some time before that shows at some parts of this site.

Great, I’ll keep an eye on the ghost image until it disappears. Again, thank you. Love this librarian community!
