Author's more than one with same name

[Carol]

A suggestion that I just thought of regarding more than one author with the same name.
When this is added: "Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name." Add a note that says this specific author is listed as first name [1, 2 or 3, etc. space/s] last name. That way one going in knows exactly how to list or correct that specific author's works.
Unless it's already done someplace and I've missed it, if so please tell me, thanks.

Some profiles do have that.

I usually use the 'Authors with Similar Names' page for that. If the profile isn't verified, you can also go to the edit profile page and copy the name from there.

Or copy the name from the edit page of one of the books on the right profile.

Those notes about more than one author were more in use before we got the similar names page system, as back then it was much harder to figure out which author profiles existed. (In rare cases you still find notes that even link to a thread in this group where a list was kept for quite some time.)
