I have a similar problem - a book listed which is not mine at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9... - displaying a cover with author name [redacted] who appears to have copied my author profile and used it on Amazon to promote his books,. Please remove this "edition" from my profile ASAP

#144 (Sharon) Quite a few authors share your name & you are on the default profile, so this will probably keep happening. Please contact Support & ask to be moved to a clean profile. https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...
Make sure you tell them which books are yours.
#145 (Cristina)You appear to have edited your name. Please contact Support at the link I gave #144 to get things corrected.
#146 (Melissa) I'm not sure if the other book belongs on Goodreads. I'm going to get a second opinion.
Edit: I got a very quick answer. The other book has been marked as invalid will hopefully disappear from your profile in 20 minutes or so (longer if you are using the app)
A book titled Passed Normal Volume 5 is listed as one of my books but it is not mine. Kindly move it from my profile. Thank you! The link is: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Paola wrote: "#147 - #151 Done#153 - #155 Done" Thanks for that, and I must apologise to [redacted] who obviously had no say in the incorrect attribution - it seems that an idiot bot decided that book titles are unique properties so two books with the same title must be different editions of the same book. Can't believe this was human error and given the number of requests for removals I suggest that Goodreads sends this idiot bot to the trash bin. I also have a query - how did this incorrect data get on there in the first place and why can't authors themselves delete it?!
An author that shares my name has my book on their profile, even though it is already under my profile.The other authors profile if needed.

The book in question
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Since the book is already under me, then I guess it just needs to be removed from their profile.

We are volunteers not staff. Please contact (Support) staff with questions of site functionality. I will say I was baffled how an author with a completely different name landed on your profile, but I had to stop working in this thread as the site was acting up for me yesterday.
The link to contact staff is in #152.
Very few librarians want to work in this long thread so we ask that the thread not be derailed with other issues. Your understanding is appreciated.
(#158) (D.G) one edition is paperback & one is kindle. Readers like to shelve both editions they have so I have shifted the paperback to your profile. I will have to contact Support to remove the ASIN from the paperback, but I am just about to go out.Edit: Support told me that both editions are Kindles, so the employee corrected that. They have separate ASINs so both should stay.

These are unpublished coloring books that I created, still showing up on my author page, that I have no intention of ever publishing in the future. I am just trying to clean things up a little bit.

Hi. Can you please disassociate the following book from my author page (it is not my book): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
thank you.
#161-163 Done.
#164 Kevin wrote: "These are unpublished coloring books that I created, still showing up on my author page, that I have no intention of ever publishing in the future.

This one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... does not look like a colouring book, so I'm double checking.
#165-168 Done.

#197 (Lee) are you either of the authors concerned? This thread is for the authors concerned to request books be moved from one profile to the other.
From the first post by the moderator
Please Note: this thread is only for requests by authors. Other members requesting a book be moved should please start their own thread.
I realise the wording is a little ambiguous, but very few librarians like working in these long threads.
Skipping for now.
