If you wish to claim the author profile, click on the "Is this you? Let us know" link at the bottom of that page. When approved it will merge with your current reader profile.

Τελχίνας (aaraigathor) | 347 comments How about #312? Mousum told me that I could request names to be corrected in this thread too. It's just their names given wrong in those book titles. Why both of you skipped my post?

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Any of them that I looked at appear to be on the correct author profile with the correct name.

Τελχίνας (aaraigathor) | 347 comments As Goodreads' instructions dictate:

Correct name: H.P. Lovecraft
Wrong names: H. P. Lovecraft/HP Lovecraft/H P Lovecraft/H.P Lovecraft

Correct name: A.E. van Vogt
Wrong names: A. E. van Vogt/AE van Vogt/A E van Vogt/A.E van Vogt/A.E. Van Vogt/A. E. Van Vogt/A.E Van Vogt/AE Van Vogt/A E Van Vogt

All those examples have been registered on those books' titles, on links I gave you above, therefore they are wrong. There are probably more but I've searched just the first douzens of pages of each result to find those for now...

Arenda | 26447 comments Correcting titles of books is really off topic for this thread.


message 322: by Abcdarian (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments The rules are in reference to author names so that there is only one author profile for each writer. I don't think that necessitates changing book titles at all, as that has nothing to do with sorting which book belongs on which author profile.

#327, per cover, Vinayak is also correct. V.D. Savarkar made primary.
#328 done

Τελχίνας (aaraigathor) | 347 comments @Arenda & @Abcdarian hi! I understand that it's not about profiles but problem stays with wrong names in titles and a search engine that won't show all results if someone is looking for specific names in titles because it is case sensitive.

As for the "off topic on this thread", in message #276 Mousum assisted showing me the proper subforum for series on a request of mine for creating some series/subseries, so I've made a request on topic twice, beginning 12 days ago, and no one bothered: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

So, lets say that you are not willing fixing them because I am not in the proper thread. Can you show me at least where could I request those titles to be fixed or others in general? Thanks in advance!

K.A. Quinn | 1 comments I tried contacting first but it wasn't fixed. Please merge these two profiles that are both me:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

My author page has K.A. Quinn with no space and
the other has K. A. Quinn with a space.
Is it possible to change my user name to add the space in?
