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!!!

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!!!

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...

Liam (dimestoreliam) | 51 comments Mousum,

As always, your excellent work is much appreciated, and I am glad to see you back in action!

Could you possibly be so kind as to double-check that last merge I had requested in Message 1012? It appears that the incorrect duplicate profile for Professor Butwell,

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

still needs to be merged into the correct author listing, Richard A. Butwell.

This is most likely my fault, as I merely tacked it on at the last moment to that message, which of course was primarily about Professor Vandenbosch...

Thank you!!!
