message 1: by Emanuele (new) - added it

Emanuele Blasi (eblasi) | 2 comments I posted a quote from the book "Our Hero's Journey" but the system automatically linked it to the wrong person, who actually has the same name (homonymy).

This is the quote:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...

This is the correct source and author:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

How can I link to the correct author?

Thanks for your help

Arenda | 26448 comments Quote moved to the correct author and book added to the quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1177...

Since there are two authors with this name on GR, you have to add an extra space between first and last name to get your profile.

Or, since there now is a quote attached to your profile, you can go to this page:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...
At the top right of the page is a link "Add a quote". Using that link will pick the correct author profile.

Emanuele Blasi (eblasi) | 2 comments Thanks Arenda for your help! Very much appreciated!

The trick of the double space was not very intuitive... thanks for pointing this out.

I noticed that other people incurred the same issue, maybe it could be nice to add this remark into the description next to the author field...

I wish you all the best!
