Liam (dimestoreliam) | 51 comments Thank you once again, Mousum!!!

Unfortunately, it looks as though I forgot to include two of the incorrect listings for General Burns:

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

&

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

Could you possibly merge those listings also into E.L.M. Burns?

Liam (dimestoreliam) | 51 comments Here is another relatively easy merge...

Could you please merge this duplicative author listing (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

into the proper author listing for Milton E. Osborne?

Thanx again!!!

Liam (dimestoreliam) | 51 comments Mousum, half of this one is a proper merge, i.e.:

these incorrect & duplicative author listings
(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

&

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

need to be merged into the correct author profile, Willie G. Moseley.

The other half, which I hope you will be willing to also take care of, is correcting the author of these two books
(https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...)

&

(https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...)

from the incorrect attribution to "William G. Moseley" to instead credit the correct author, which once again is Willie G. Moseley.

Thank you; as always, I appreciate your fine work very much!

Τελχίνας (aaraigathor) | 347 comments Those are publishing companies at most and not authors, therefore they should be deleted or be renamed as Unknown until they checked. In some cases there are authors already or written in titles:

a) "The Gunston Trust".
b) "C. Pullein -. Thompson".
c) "The Ltl Mandarin Schoool Team".
d) "Trajectory Comics".
e) "Betty N. Ainsworth Publishing".
f) "DMJ Publishing".
g) "Dell Four Color Comics".
h) "M.L.J. Magazines Inc.".
i) "The Fawcett Captain Marvel Art Staff".
j) "The Jack Binder Studio".
k) "DMJ Press".
l) "NHK".
m) "Miles Kelly Publishing".
n) "Icon Group International".

My bad... Lots of threads were opened simultaneously and I got confused...


message 880: by Liam (new)

Liam (dimestoreliam) | 51 comments Mousum-

This is another one which is more a correction than an actual merge, but I hope you will be willing to take care of it, and I would be very grateful if you could do so...

This book,

(https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...)

which for the record is a hardcover of 347 pages, is currently attributed to "unknown author". It should instead be credited to the correct author, James Cameron.

If you have the time to add it, I have (as before) posted the correct cover scan in my photos, which you will find here: (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/...).

As always, thank you!!!

Τελχίνας (aaraigathor) | 347 comments Those two have to be split:

a) "Περί Ψυχής"
b) "Μικρά Φυσικά"

Liam (dimestoreliam) | 51 comments Thanx again, Mousum!

If you have the chance, could you merge

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

into the correct author listing,

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)?

Thank you!

Τελχίνας (aaraigathor) | 347 comments Those two should merge:

a) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
b) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Proper publisher: "Alien"


message 888: by Τελχίνας (new)

Τελχίνας (aaraigathor) | 347 comments "3 Cosmonautes" need combining (b & c probably merging), title correction and author/illustrator Albert Weinberg to be added:

a) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
b) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
c) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

You could use the 2nd edition's cover to replace the 3rd one.


message 895: by Liam (new)

Liam (dimestoreliam) | 51 comments Hello Mousum-

Could you please merge the following incorrect author profiles

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

into the profile with the author's preferred (and therefore correct) rendering, E.G. (Jay) Ruoff?

This last one is technically a correction, due to the actual profile page being a bad link and therefore unreachable, but I hope you will be willing to deal with it as well. Here is the link:

(https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

the author credit, which at the moment incorrectly reads "E. G. Ruoff", should also be corrected to E.G. (Jay) Ruoff. As previously, I have uploaded the cover scan to my photos, and you will find it here:

(https://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/...).

The correct title (which is also listed with the cover scan) is 'Making A Difference: An American Family In Pakistan, France, Vietnam, Laos, Turkey, Mali'. If you could possibly be so kind as to cut & paste these into their proper places as well, I would be grateful!

This particular book has also been incorrectly combined with a number of other books with superficially similar titles and totally different authors, but I don't feel as though it should be necessary to deal with that issue at the moment. Obviously, if you feel like tackling that as well it is your prerogative to do so, but please don't bother about it on my account.

Once again, thank you!!!


message 898: by Liam (new)

Liam (dimestoreliam) | 51 comments Thank you once again, Mousum; well done!

Here is a similar, though slightly less complex, situation; quite shameful, really, as the late Professor Vandenbosch was a fine and well-respected scholar in his day...

These incorrect author profiles

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

ought to be merged into the correct profile, Amry Vandenbosch.

These two book listings are both duplicative and really ought to be deleted. Due to the recent changes in the rules governing librarian activities, however, the only way that is likely to be possible at this point would be to credit them properly to their author, Amry Vandenbosch, combine them if necessary, and then attempt the deletions. Unfortunately, it may not be possible even then. Consequently, I am also leaving this to your discretion- if you don't want to bother, please just ignore this section of the message. If you decide otherwise, here are the links for the books in question:

(https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...)

(https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...).

Professor Vandenbosch's colleague, collaborator and occasional co-author, Professor Richard A. Butwell, also has an errant incorrect author profile,

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...).

If you could possibly merge that into the correct author profile, Richard A. Butwell I would appreciate that very much as well.

Again, thank you very much for your excellent work!!!


message 899: by Liam (new)

Liam (dimestoreliam) | 51 comments Beautiful work, Mousum, and again you have earned my sincere gratitude!

Unfortunately, I should have investigated further regarding that last merge in the previous message, as it seems there are in fact several errant author profiles for Professor Butwell rather than just one. It looks like you are still working on his profile, so I hope you see this before you finish everything up!

If you could also merge the following incorrect profiles,

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

(https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...)

into the correct profile, Richard A. Butwell, I would be most appreciative...
