Jonathan Gray (jwyg) | 4 comments Hello! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ

I have a very common name (Jonathan Gray) which has led to some book and author page issues.

Here's what I believe is my author page (with my website and social media handle): https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I applied to claim this several times a few years ago and was rejected - and have recently applied again.

I co-edited this book The Data Journalism Handbook: How Journalists Can Use Data to Improve the News

But these two books are not mine:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I also edited these books:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... (ISBN-13: 9780262536240 )
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... (ISBN-13: 9789462989511)
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... (ISBN-13: 9789462989511)

There are several translations of books I've edited:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

And I've contributed to these books (though I don't think they list contributors):
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Is there anything I could do to help disambiguate and reorganise these pages?

Thanks very much for your time and advice.

Jonathan

Tami (tamicarvallo) | 7008 comments Hello, I think I got them all, here's your list of books https://www.goodreads.com/author/list... if there are books missing or anything that needs fixing let me know! Thanks for providing all the links and necessary information, it's really helpful.

About claiming the profile. If the new application is unsuccessful you can try contacting Goodreads support directly, they handle the author program and should be able to help https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...
