These profiles are for the same author. In his earlier writings he used the initial "H". Now he does not. He has claimed the "James H. Pence" page, but his newer books aren't showing up there because they do not use the "H".

He wants to going forward write under the name "James Pence" without the "H" but doesn't want to lose his friends, etc. on the claimed profile.

I have asked him personally about this.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments Author would like the 2 profiles merged together and his profile to include the initial.

Banjomike | 5166 comments Repeat of #784 (I'm sure this was done)

Two people, two names, and extra bits, but no books
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

their books were on two other non-GR profiles that didn't include the Twins stuff but only one profile is still there

I remember that you renamed the claimed profile to "Princess S.O.", I think.

Banjomike | 5166 comments Another repeat. #796

Space between initials

If these are valid profiles then say so and they won't get re-upped.

Re James H. Pence: Goodreads policy is to keep the more complete version of the name, so all his books are now under James H. Pence. If more are added under James Pence, they can easily be moved over to the James H. Pence by any librarian. Or post here if there are several such books and I can move them as a group.

Nothing to be done about that one. It's a disambiguation issue.

And this looks like a good place to close this thread. New one in just a moment.
