Combining these two, some books needs to be Combined too. I have linked them here which combines with which. the 1st links below are linked from Author's Main Profile while the 2nd links are duplicate books

There appears to be two Dan R Arman authors. Both of them have my books but there is only one REAL Dan R Arman.
My REAL profile:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

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

Could you merge the doppleganger and his books into my real profile? Thanks.

Books and quote moved to your profile. The now empty duplicate profile will be disappeared in due course.

#1 Sorry, I hadn't seen that there was another request. This still needs to be done.

[TheMadnessKing]

Sure @lethe. Please review and merge the authors I have pointed out.

Please combine
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... - keeping this one as the main profile

Thank you, stay safe

Marsha,

Since there is a claimed GR author profile involved, you will need to request the merge from GR Staff (GR Librarians are volunteers)

I don't do manga so I'm leaving the OP to another librarian.

Apparently readers have added my latest book and story under a mis-punctuated author name which now has taken on a life/profile of its own. The book title is also incomplete, & therefore a duplicate (inaccurate) of the one I added myself.

Please combine CJ Verburg (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)
into C.J. Verburg (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

And please transfer both publications credited to CJ Verburg to C.J. Verburg:
Shafted, or The Toastrack Enigma: An Edgar Rowdey Cape Cod Mystery (3)
and Mystery Magazine: October 2021 (Mystery Weekly Magazine Issues Book 74)

Since I am a librarian, I tried to edit the false author profile, but I just get a pop-up saying only librarians can do this & apply here.

I have moved the books to your profile. The other profile will go away the next time the cleanup script runs. The books were imported that way from Amazon, so you may want to check how it is there.

I will work on this. We don't merge authors whose profiles are in different languages/characters unless one of them does not appear on any of the book covers. Instead, we add the non-English one as a secondary author. I will investigate the covers now.

I have added a link to the other author bio section of each profile. I have merged and combined what I could. If there are other edits that need to be made please let me know--it would probably be easier to make new threads.

[Tess]

please combine the authors Colleen B MacFarlane (Listening to her own voice) and Colleen MacFarlane (Life lessons from Lucy the Schnauzer).
They're the same person, but her picture book does not include her middle initial.

[William]

Nathalie Henneberg has two page that need combining.

I will send this to Support so they can add the period after the B per Goodreads policy

Her name is not spelled "Natalie" on the covers so I have merged the profiles.
