Regarding #4, it seems that "Barbara" is her second name (a lot of people either don't have it or simply omit it) and "-Kwiatkowska" was added to the surname after the marriage. I guess it should be "Agnieszka Barbara Ciepłowska-Kwiatkowska".

[Rafał]

Regarding #13, it appears when I click on "add book/author" in this thread and enter "Owen King". Could it be that "Owen King, Stephen King" is on some deleted/hidden book/edition?

Possibly just an empty profile left after someone corrected the book/s that were on it. In the case of a GR author we can't just merge but have to correct book by book, as in the case of Darick Robertson above, where I've left several empty profiles. (Support could merge, but I'm not making all those requests for one or two books & no followers.)

#41: Need to check/hear from someone else, but if OSB is a religious designation I think Goodreads does not keep it.
#42: Done. One of them didn't seem to be there.
#43-47: Done.
#48-49: nothing there, perhaps done by someone
#50: Done.

I believe it stands for Order of Saint Benedict so we would not keep it. Merged into name only.

[Abcdarian]

Thanks Scott.

I'm still torn re #4. WorldCat has 100 listings for Agnieszka Ciepłowska, 10 for Agnieszka Ciepłowska-Kwiatkowska, and nothing including Barbara at all.

[Rafał]

Re #4. The only book at goodreads with "Agnieszka Barbara Ciepłowska-Kwiatkowska" is Skarby przeszłości (ISBN: 8373378642). The publisher only shows "Agnieszka Barbara Ciepłowska", though. See: https://www.proszynski.pl/Skarby_prze...

Perhaps no one entered those older Polish books into the WorldCat. Let's go with "Agnieszka Ciepłowska-Kwiatkowska" then.

Hi,
is this the appropriate space to request a new merge for another duplicate profiles ?
So, this Nora Kane should be merged into this Nora KaneNora Kane.
The first one only hold the books from the Margot Harris Mystery Series 4, while the second one is the old and full of book profile.
Thanks.

The books were moved as per a request on another thread.
Librarians cannot handle claimed profiles.

[Rafał]

Just a small note that #4 is still open.

[Abcdarian]

Still looking at it. Polish wikipedia briefly mentions Agnieszka Ciepłowska and Agnieszka Barbara Ciepłowska, not very helpful but those are by far the most common versions of the name on the books here at Goodreads. Agnieszka Barbara Ciepłowska-Kwiatkowska had only one book listed here and worldcat had it listed as Agnieszka Ciepłowska. She doesn't have a page on amazon.pl under any version of her name, and I can't find any "see inside" for the books. I would really like input from a higher-up. I know going for the most complete is a regular thing, but is it actually a published version of her name as translator?

[Rafał]

I have a 2010 edition of the book where she's listed as "Agnieszka Barbara Ciepłowska".
This 2021 edition lists her as "Agnieszka Ciepłowska-Kwiatkowska": https://books.google.pl/books?id=Tb8q...
The only book at goodreads having both names and a longer surname is "Skarby przeszłości" (ISBN: 8373378642), but that was published in 2004 and even the publisher's book page shows "Agnieszka Barbara Ciepłowska".
I guess that someone joined those two together and entered it like that at goodreads. The only place I found it is a Polish site similar to goodreads, where someone entered the "full" name even for the book which I have (the one from 2010): https://lubimyczytac.pl/ksiazka/50093...

In summary, someone at the Polish side must've merged those two author profiles together and someone else entered this combined name for this one book at goodreads.
I guess the middle name got dropped when the surname became longer, meaning "Agnieszka Barbara Ciepłowska" changed to "Agnieszka Ciepłowska-Kwiatkowska".

[Rafał]

I'm dropping the last case, so I'm marking the request as done. Thanks :)
