Shim (slimmy) | 3539 comments Tried to clean up this author's page as per his request (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) but still seeing a couple books after 10+ minutes on there despite adding spaces between the names. Does it just take a while or did I do something wrong?


message 2: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8970 comments It takes a while. Note that two of them do not say "Goodreads Author."

If you click to the page that shows all of the author books, that updates immediately.

Shim (slimmy) | 3539 comments Thanks

yea saw that, was just wondering since some of them disappeared within a couple minutes but these two have stuck around longer.

When you're editing an author on a book like this do you have to do it for all that book's editions separately?

You also have to change every edition each title.

Shim (slimmy) | 3539 comments Yea as I said above I saw that; but what about the main author page?

it takes a while. I reviewed every title by every author with this name and they look like they are correct.

It can take 24-48 hours for an author profile to update.

If the names are completely different, they cannot be merged. Note that your current name is against GR policy. Please start a new thread for further discussion as this one is about a different author.
