Hans van Halteren is the correct name.

Both of these author records, when viewed on a shelf, appear to follow Dutch surname conventions:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... (see #11)

I'll request the simple solution: please retain 1241752, keeping its Sort By and Shelf Display fields unchanged.

Mousum | 10258 comments #407, system reverts my changes
#408 - 409 done


message 411: by Xavi (new)

Xavi | 2464 comments #407 The following records are the same author:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

But, if when you try to merge them the system reverts the changes, what should we do?

Reported to GR Support and asked them to merge the profiles.
(I got the same error message: The change you wanted was rejected.)

The third link was merged succesfully.

Dr Kathleen Favaloro, DC PT (drkathleenfavaloro) | 1 comments Bullies, Friends and Taekwondo I am the author of this book and my correct name is Dr. Kathleen M. Favaloro DC PT (The Goodreads site lists the author as Kathleen Favaloro) I am also the author of "Solutions for Better Sleep: Improve Sleeping Positions to Relieve Pain and Stiffness" Can you please put both books under the author page with my correct name of Dr. Kathleen M. Favaloro DC PT and merge the 2 author pages to be one? I just joined as a new author and I really appreciate your help - especially since I am a little bit tech challenged😉 Thank you so much!

Support has merged the profiles, after correcting an invalid isbn on a book, which might have been the reason for the error.

You didn't correct 9-13 and "e" & "i" from 5th in #436 comment, also 7, 14 & half of 16 in #408 comment, so they are not "done" yet. I did a deep research to find who those authors were and you rejected those data keeping them unknown for what reason? And why you didn't deal with #410? Do you have a problem with Greek authors?
