The star after authors name

[Sanna ☆]

Hi,

I been wondering what does the * (asterix) after the authors name stand for?

like Sones, Sonya *

It does not appear after every name in My Books -list but now and then it does. Has it something to do about if the author has claimed their own Goodreads Author page, as in they are also GR-members? That is my guess anyway, but I don't wont to be guessing, I want to know.

Thank's!

It means they have claimed their author page.

Thanks Emily,

I put my question here in the 'Questions' section because I did not think this topic field is for about requests for edits to book data, just question overall about how things work in goodreads.

Sorry my mistake, but thank you anyway!
