This book is not mine, please move it (part 6)

Storm of Ambition is book 2 of the Willowdale series under Author Lily Black but it has been put under another author with the same name. Can it be moved?
Here is the Amazon link to show the correct author as well.

Thanks!

Hi, could you please move this book off my profile? Thank you!

On my dashboard, however, a second book is listed (Beyond Biomass ) that I did not write. Could you please remove that book from my dashboard?
Thank you so much --- K

It currently points to the wrong Simon Lucas. Could you please move it to my profile?
Cheers



I write ONLY write the Dressed in Pink; Misadventures in the wine country, and the short story Chianti, mysteries.
The Mindful books, sleep book, etc are not mine.
Also, I cant seem to add Dressed in White, Dressed in Yellow, And Dressed in Purple to my written collection
Will you be able to do that please. I'm running in circles.
Thank you!
Diana Stone on the horse, with wine and misadventures.

#615 I moved that book to the author on the cover - but, which one IS your book then? ETA: will forward it to staff to correct changes against policy
Are single names not shown as similar names?

This book isn't mine, please could you remove it from my page:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Thanks,
Rebecca

I did move the book you linked to a different spacing to combine it with other editions though.

If that is your book under a different pen name you can claim that profile with another email address than your first GR author profile.
If you want to use the 2nd name in general in the future you can ask support to move your profile over to that one instead of having two profiles. (https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...)

#620 done
#621 already done by staff and duplicated in this thread - it does not help if you leave librarian notes on a book that needs to be moved, we do only see them if we are actually on either your combine page or editing the book already.
I removed the librarian note.
#622 I moved it but ... is that an actual book considered as such by GR? Do you have further info like ISBN?
#623 moved
#624 moved

moved #626 Simon as that was not the correct author to https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... in case you want to claim that as author profile (currently you have only a user profile, for claiming you have to click on "is this you" at the bottom of the page)

Did you write https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... too?


You would not be able to move them yourself - asking in the Librarians Group is the perfect way,
So, time to relex :)
Is the novelette set between two books or is it not relevant when to read it?


(you got that set up by staff hours ago)

There is another Elizabeth Fraley who is an attorney and must be the author of that Texas legal book, but it isn't me.

Unfortunately having a common name there are many books accredited to may profile.
I understand that I am supposed to leave a link to the books to be removed but there are MANY!
Can you help?

Not only would it be a lot! of work to remove these books but all Martin Smith books imported by bots would land on that default profile again - so removing now would not help for long.

Hi Martin. It looks like we were able to resolve that issue for you. Please let us know if that isn’t the case!

Most of the books listed under:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
don't belong there. Especially the series "Alien Breed", "Dark Love"...etc).
They should all be moved to the correct author:

The following books were added to my profile, but do not belong to me. I did ask for one book to be added recently, but somehow there were 20 or so more added as well. Yikes!

When I created my author page, I removed the books I saw that weren't written by me, but I find that there's one I missed: "The Fantasy Basketball Coaches' Fantasy Basketball Strategy Guide" (2012) by Nels Wadycki (Goodreads Author), Patrick Madden, Erik Ong. The Fantasy Basketball Coaches' Fantasy Basketball Strategy Guide I am Patrick Madden, but I'm not THAT Patrick Madden.
Can y'all help remove that book from my page?
Patrick Madden
{also note: when I try to "add book/author" and search for my name, I do not come up; only a different Patrick Madden shows in the results}
And while we're here: there are also three old literary magazines that show up on my page (Austin Review, Bearings, Ocean State Review). I did not upload these journals to Goodreads. They were already here when I signed up. And while I DID write pieces that are included in them, they are not really "books." If I were to include all the literary journals I've published work in, I'd have over a hundred entries, which would be tiring and messy. Should I/we remove those entries as well?
Thanks for your help and advice.
Bearings, Spring 1987

#662 Michael, you should not have been assigned that profile. You should contact Support and let them know which book is yours, then they can assign you to a new profile.

#663 Patrick, here is the answer I was typing in your other post before deletion. For future reference it is fine to make your own post if you like.
I don't know about Bearings, someone else may want to weigh in.
Austin Review and Ocean State Review are valid entries so they won't be removed. Austin Review is a Kindle edition and was imported automatically. If they have ISBNs or ASINs, there is always a possibility they could be added manually or imported. Many journals do not qualify for Goodreads purposes so they are unlikely to be added.
I have removed the basketball book. It will take time for it to disappear from your profile.

I've moved all Alien Breed and Dark Love books to the other Melody Adams. Please specify if there are any others that needs to be moved: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
ETA: some books were added by the author, moved those too

Thank you, Emily. Can you clarify for me: if an author is one of many contributors to a journal, should that journal show up on their author page? As I mentioned, this could potentially lead to hundreds of entries on an author page.
