Elnaz | 1 comments Hello,
I have three books assigned to me which aren't mine. They all look the same but they are different somehow? Here are the links:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Would you please remove them from my page? Thanks!

Rafael Morales (rafaelmorales) | 7 comments Hi! Please, could you remove this book from my profile? It belongs to another author, a poet, with the same name, who died back in 2005. I don't know how it has landed in my author's profile, I didn't claim it, and it's not fair to the real author.

Thanks! :-)

I have two books that need to be removed from my author page. They are not my books. The two books I need remove is actually the same book, but appearing twice on my page. Both links are provided below. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Chris Durston | 2 comments Hi

I've just self-published my first novel, Each Little Universe, and set up an author page.

I'm Chris Durston and ELU is Each Little Universe. There's a paper attached to me about video games as art (Can video games be art?: A paper on the validity of gaming as a medium)- I would prefer it not to show up on my profile but I am in fact the author of that one, back when I was in school.

I'm definitely not the author, however, of The English Revolution. I believe that's by the author whose name is more usually given as Christopher Durston (Christopher Durston). No relation!

Would you be able to remove at least The English Revolution and possibly (but not as critically) the games paper too? Thanks!

Roger Buck (rogerbuck) | 5 comments Hello dear Librarians, I hope I am in the right place requesting this in the correct way.

I have just been on my author page here:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

And I see that a book I did NOT write about drinking has been added.

And as I am a tee-totaller this is slightly embarrassing : - ) ...

Would be very grateful then if anyone could please remove this book on drinking from my page:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Many, many thanks if you can help!

Roger Buck

Hello Scott - thank you for attending to this.

However, my request (message 790) does not appear to be done.

The drinking book is still there - though perhaps it takes time to disappear? Just need to check - again many thanks for your attention to this.


message 774: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8585 comments Yes, it takes time for that page to update but if you click to your all books page it disappears immediately.

Also you will notice it no longer said "Goodreads Author" next to your name on the book, indicating it has been moved.

Nate Granzow | 9 comments Hi,
Could you please move this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...) off of my profile (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)?

I edited it but don't want it listed alongside my published work.

Since it's not the type of book on which we would normally list an editor, I have removed it.

Hi Scott -
I appreciate that, but the book is still listed on my profile even after refreshing my browser's cache. How long does this update require to take hold?

Thank you!


message 778: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8585 comments It does take some time but I do not see it on your profile now. If you need to check it immediately you can click on the link to see ALL your books and the change will show right away.

Nathan Rose (nathan_rose) | 1 comments Hi there,

This is my author profile:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

For some strange reason, someone elses' book has become associated with my author account. After quite a bit of trying, I couldn't find a way to unlink it.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Can someone please help.

Thanks!

Nathan

Since your name seems pretty common and there are a lot of books to move, I would suggest you to write to support@goodreads.com
They can move you and your books to a different Dan Willis profile and you wouldn't have this problem anymore. Future books by you imported automatically would land on the "generic" Dan Willis profile and would have to be moved to the right one, but this is something a librarian can do easily.

edit: when you contact support, be sure to specify which titles are yours

Kristy Perkins | 9 comments The books listed popped up on my author's profile. I had specifically listed them as not mine when setting up my author's profile, so I don't understand why they are listed.

If they can please be removed, that would be very helpful. Thank you very much! (also I don't know why there are repeats, but there are)

I'm not sure why your profile did not include the correct books, but your best bet is to write back to Support to ask them to move you to a new profile. Let them know which books were yours. https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

Tim, I have combined your two editions. (Merge means "delete" on Goodreads.)

My profile did include the only 2 books I am part of, but also added that entire list I presented. None of which are mine.

Yes, unfortunately someone did not split your books from the others to give you a new profile, perhaps in error. Let them know again which ones are yours, and they will assign you a new profile with just your books. Otherwise, other authors with your name will continue to have books import there.

I have filled out that question thing. But I was told it could be days before I get a response back. I only want the books removed and the two that I am part of kept on my profile. Is there anything else I can do?
