Thank you very much, Scott. I see that you have combined not only the author’s profiles, but also all her books! Great job!

#4 This is a Goodreads author, and librarians cannot edit their data. So I have sent staff a message to combine the profiles, as all of his book covers have the S.

Please combine Nikki Haley's 2 author pages/profiles. I'm not sure how to do it. Thanks. The 2 pages are:

and

Skipped 8 and 9
#10 Two of the books belong to Nikki Haley the politician, so I moved/combined those on the default profile and moved the other book to the 2 space profile.

#13 I've moved those books to the correct author, the scrip is now running to remove blank profiles. However, I've just noticed that there's a quote, so I've referred it to staff to switch that as well.

[Emily]

#8-9 I have merged them all but not combined the books yet. Please double check the merges.

[Manas]

Please combine:
Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi
K. M. MUNSHI
K.M.Munshi

People keep adding books by the abbreviated name of this author. Is there any method to prevent that?

[Sandra]

#16 done. And sorry, no, there is no way to stop it happening. Everyone is allowed to add books to the database.

It looks like K.M. Munshi is the name he published his books under. I checked two English editions, and they both had his initials. Even the author bio on Goodreads says K.M. Munshi, not his full name.

Are there any English-language editions with Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi on the cover?

If not, his author profile should be changed to K.M. Munshi.

Also, it looks like none of the Gujarati editions have his name in the Gujarati spelling as secondary author (from the one I checked, that cover also seems to have the initials only: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... )

This is true. On book covers we see the abbreviated name K.M. Munshi. If the profile can be changed to K.M. Munshi then well and good. I just raised the query so that consistency is maintained in the future.

Thanks, have changed the name back to K.M. Munshi (it was changed only late last year).

Could you give the author's name in Gujarati?

If you mean how it's written in Gujarati then it's like this: ક. મા. મુનશી

[lethe]

Thank you! Can it also be written without the space between the initials: ક.મા. મુનશી ?

Sure, the dots mean the same as in English
