Two Profiles for the Same Author (One is obviously not me!)

It's not a copycat profile, it was probably imported automatically from Amazon. I will request a merge with your profile.To avoid this problem in the future, make sure your initials are properly formatted when you submit your books to Amazon.

Thank you so much, Scott! I got nervous when I saw it. I really appreciate your help! :)
Oh, one more question regarding my initials... When I initially set up my author profile here on Goodreads, I did K.J. with no space, but my books are actually published and listed on retailers as K. J. with the space. Is there a way to fix that here in Goodreads? I once tried adding the space, which caused my books to no longer link up with my profile. Is there a way you can fix this on your end?
GR policy is to not have a space between initials.

And here's my real profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Is it possible to remove the copycat profile? And if so, is it possible to move the reviews for the duplicate books listed with the copycat profile over to the corresponding books listed with my actual profile? Thanks!
