It would be easier if you would identify which book is yours.

Also, when you change your author profile, it creates cascading problems. Please attempt to restore it to the original name. Then I will address the stray books.

Thanks, Suzi. I saw that name change. I manage this account for my author, but it seems that she didn't realize that changing her name would have that affect. I will change it back. The book that is hers is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Hi, Suzi

I was able to change the author name back to the original one.

Thanks.

Thanks, Suzi. I'm not sure what that means. I'm a little confused now because I looked at the page a few minutes ago and it looked like the books had been removed, then when I refreshed the page, the books were back again. Anyway, I appreciate the help in sorting this out!

she should have claimed the profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

GR librarians cannot edit GR author profiles. So I asked GR support to move her claimed profile to her book without affected the books and authors that are already there. They should get to it soon. I will monitor it.

Hi, this book is not mine, could you please remove it from my profile? This author (who recently passed away) was my namesake. He published this, and other books, in the 1970s. I had not yet started kindergarten when this book came out!

1. Changing your author profile name affects every title under your profile, and creates cascading problems.

2. I have disambiguated the Adam Fletcher name, and all the works that belong to you should now be on your profile, with duplicates removed, and all works that are not yours are also removed.

3. The Librarian's Group is a resource for you and you are encouraged to make requests here when you have questions or have any issues.

1. You have a user profile.

2. You can claim this author profile by going to the author profile page here:

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

scroll down and click on the link that says is this you?

3. There is already an author with the same name.

4. Goodreads disambiguates between authors of the same name by using spaces between the author's first and last name.

5. This author profile has 2 spaces: Justin^^Cavin, where the ^ equals a space.

6. When publications are automatically imported from Amazon or other sources, the "handshake' between Goodreads and the other source do not recognize multiple spaces, so the work goes to the default 1 space profile.

7. You can post in this forum to have it moved, or you can add the book with the 2 spaces between your first and last name before publication.

8. When you ask for assistance, it is helpful to include that your author profile has 2 spaces

Hello,

My 2003 book Cost Benefit Jr was written when I was married, thus the author is Stephanie Herman. (It was attributed here to another Stephanie Herman but that was resolved before I ever joined GoodReads.) However, now my name is Stephanie Petersen and I would like to add Cost Benefit Jr to my author page if possible. (My website lists my two books: https://geke.us ) The Cost Benefit Jr link is below:
