I thought it was against policy to have both the actual name and a nickname/pseudonym in a profile. Should I create a separate profile for Calamity Jane?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
All the other editions of this book only credit Calamity Jane, except this one, and instead of Martha Jane Cannary she is called Jane Cannary Hickok here. What to do?

lethe | 16359 comments (Since all titles only credited Calamity Jane (except the abovementioned one) I went ahead and changed the profile to Calamity Jane. I added Jane Cannary Hickok as a secondary author to the one edition.)

Now I'm running into the next problem: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

These editions include either the letters, or the autobiography (the Italian edition apparently), or a combination of both (the German edition for sure). With some editions it isn't clear what exactly they contain. Should they stay combined or be separated as best as possible?

ETA because there already is a title "Life and Adventures of Calamity Jane" I combined "La mia vita" with that.
