Uploading an author profile picture is not as easy as uploading a book cover.

See the Help for uploading an author profile picture:
Copyright is important!
So before you upload an image, make sure that either:
You own the rights to the image (usually meaning that you created the image yourself)
You can prove that the copyright holder has licensed the image under a free license
You can prove that the image is in the public domain
You believe, and state, a fair use rationale for the specific use of the image that you intend

I'll try to look into the author profiles for Kluun tomorrow.

1) https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
2) https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I read three of his books: Komt een vrouw bij de dokter, De weduwnaar and Haantjes. However, on my 'most read authors' stats it shows up as I only read two of his books and redirecting to his pictureless-profile (https://www.goodreads.com/user/most_r...).

Is it possible to somehow assign all his books to one of his profiles, so that he shows up as 'three' (with a picture) on my 'most read authors' stats.
"


Combined all books. All his books have "Kluun" as author, since they were first published in Dutch with that author. Many translations have "Ray Kluun" as author.
I added a note in both author descriptions and a librarian note. For now it is fixed; however books will get imported with "Ray Kluun" as primary author.
