Koenraad (koenraadkelemen) | 6989 comments There are two separate author profiles for your name, one with one space between your first name and surname and one with two spaces between them. The latter is you claimed profile, the first one is unclaimed:
- https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
- https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
This is what is causing the incomplete list of your works, you're only shown those on the first profile.

Librarians here are volunteers and cannot merge claimed profiles. So if I'm correct in thinking that all the books on the unclaimed profile are effectively yours, the simplest solution would be to contact the staff using this form, confirm that all the books on the first (non-claimed) profile are yours, and ask them to merge the two profiles into the one with one space. This way automatic imports will no longer create a duplicate profile, preventing the present problems. Once the profiles are merged you should see the complete list of your works when adding quotes.
If needed you can refer the staff to this thread for further clarification.

If by chance any of the books on the unclaimed profile are not by your hand, be sure to mention this in your request to the staff, so they can move them to a separate profile.

(P.S. It may take staff some time to respond as it is weekend and very early Sunday morning for them...)

Thanks very much for this. I'll do that.
