I see someone made changes, but now it's assigned to another J.B.As I said this author only has those 2 books!
Bumping this!I don't understand why anyone would make changes without checking that is correct or even updating the thread :(
Do you guys think maybe it would be better to ask the author to create an account and then put the link here so you can move the books to his account?
Hi there, I'm going through the old requests (max 1 year old), to see if we missed any requests. Thanks for your patience. Please realize that librarians are volunteers and doing everything with the best intentions. There might be many reasons why it was changed (wrongly).For now I'd like to check: has this been solved in the mean time? The author link is not working (anymore), so I cannot check it.
Hi, thanks for the reply! I managed to get access to the author so I convinced him to change his name to something less vague, so I edited his works to reflect that and now there are no more weird redirections for him.The JB author with many books assigned to them (probably wrongly) is still there tho.
Thank you! For now I won't be picking that up, unless someone does the brainy part to decipher which book should go with which author. For this specific request, thanks for picking it up yourself!Please help the Librarians to focus on the requests that are still open, by moving this topic to the "Archived" folder (and your other completed requests*). I can't do that. Instructions:
1. Click on the tiny "edit"-button at the right of the topic's title (only available for desktop/laptop, not in the app)
2. Change the folder to "Archived"
3. Don't forget to click on "SAVE"
Greetings
* It would be great if you moved all your 'done' requests about adding new books/editions to the "[Closed] Added Books/Editions" folder and all the other 'done' requests to the "Archived" folder. Go to the Home page of the Goodreads Librarians Group and click on "My Group Topics" (find an example screen shot here.).
Ow, and if you know the author, you can forward this info to that person: "Should you so wish, you can now claim your Goodreads author profile by clicking Is this you? Let us know at the bottom of the page Author page, in order to join the Goodreads Author Program. This will allow you to add and edit information about yourself and your own books; see also "How to edit your books"."
