Separating authors with the same name

[WaldenOgre]

In English, I can add an additional space between their first and last name. But this doesn't work in, let's say, Chinese.

For example, 周思成, there are two Chinese authors with this same name. So how should I do to distinguish one from the other?

Anyone? T_T

If there is no place to add spaces, we would have to use the single-name-author policy, as documented in the Manual. See https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

The single name author policy has its own disadvantage. Compare to this, I'd rather add a space in author's Chinese full name, even thouth the space will be shown on the page of book profile. I think this is a little bit better solution.

Anyway, thank you for your patience. :-)
