https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Would you be able to take them off my page please?
Thank you

Atmosphere Press (atmospherepress) | 252 comments Hello,

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

Was not written by this author: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Please remove Flawed Houses from the author page. The correct James Morris author does not currently have a Goodreads Author page.

I'm including the Amazon page, too, as this Goodreads listing needs a book cover. https://www.amazon.com/FLAWED-HOUSES-...

Thank you!

Milan Kovačević (milantzsche) | 5 comments Recently I noticed that a story in an edited book written by a person with the same name has been ascribed to me. I am not the author of this story and would like to have it disconnected from my profile:

This is the book in question: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Thanks!

Susan Finlay | 18 comments My newest book was posted on the wrong author page. There are two Susan Finlay authors. Here's the book (Gold and Gunslingers). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

This is me (Susan Finlay): https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Can you please correct this and show the new book on my author page?

562 Pete, you should not have been assigned that profile. There are so many editions of the chemistry books that it would be easier for Support to move just you and your book(s) to a new profile. Please contact them and let them know which book(s) are yours.

Sarah Schofield | 3 comments Hello

I am the author of Right Date Wrong Guy. I know it's confusing that there are two Sarah Schofields. I'm the Australian Author, and the other Sarah Schofield is the American author of Duo.

Is it possible to create an author page and move this book over to me please?

The following book (Romasanta: historia y leyenda. Nuevos estudios, nuevos misterios) is listed on my page but it was written by a different author with the same name. Could it be removed, please?

Thank you for your help!

Peter Atkins | 2 comments re: Message 575 from Emily

Dear Emily,

Thanks for the response, but I'm confused. You say it would be easier to move me and my books to a new profile than to remove the eight or nine books that aren't mine. You say to contact Support and ask them to create a new profile and let them know which books are mine.

But the profile is otherwise accurate. It features my photo, my bio, my blog, and - more to the point - features over 30 books which ARE mine. How can it be easier to move 30 books than 9? Could you possibly take another look? Maybe there's something I don't understand.

Thanks for your attention,

Cheers,

Pete

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7857 comments #593
Pete, Goodreads disambiguates authors with the same name by inserting one or more spaces between the given name and the surname. This extra space doesn't show; it's read by the database system. By inserting these spaces, we can differentiate among authors with the least amount of confusion. Support will modify your author account so that you are Peter^^^^^Atkins, with 5 spaces. (Or whatever number of spaces is required for your specific situation.) That will move all your books onto your new profile, leaving the rest of the books on the default (one-space) Peter Atkins author page.

When the import bots import a new book, they place it on the default author name. In your case, that is Peter^Atkins. There are other authors named Peter Atkins, so you'd ask a librarian to move your book to your profile, with the number of spaces that Staff assigned.

This method is simple in practice but complicated to explain. 😊

Since it appears to be pages for a journal/log, I have marked it as not a book. It will take a day or so to disappear completely from your profile.

Morénike Onaiwu (morenikegiwaonaiwu) | 14 comments Hi! Kayla Smith is credited as a contributor to the book "Sincerely, Your Autistic Child."

Sincerely, Your Autistic Child What People on the Autism Spectrum Wish Their Parents Knew About Growing Up, Acceptance, and Identity by Emily Paige Ballou

However, the wrong Kayla Smith is currently linked/attributed in GoodReads. I don't believe that she (the "correct" Kayla) has a GoodReads author account, and also the Kayla Smith that is linked has a completely different appearance, location, age, etc. than the one who authored the chapter in question. Please help to rectify this when you can, and thanks in advance!

It is not an Amazon edition. I have set it to combine with the other editions of this title, and eventually the reviews and ratings will show.
