Albert Fraser | 2 comments Fixed it for ya, it should show up on your page now!


message 2: by John (new)

John Howard | 2 comments I have stories in 2 anthologies which are being linked to the former Prime Minister of Australia's page due to the lack of my middle initial appearing in the author credits:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Also, I inadvertently added an erroneous copy of the latter book to my author page. How do I delete this? Or does it need to be merged with the correct book?

Thanks!

John H. Howard

Warren Dean | 11 comments I have a book called "Reflections on the Brazilian Counter-revolution" listed on my author page because one of its co-authors has the same name as me. I have been unable to remove it from my page. Can anyone help?

message 8: by Jessica (new)

Jessica White | 2 comments The Kindle Edition of my book is attributed to another author with the same name.

Also will I be able to combine the kindle with the paperback?

Anita Cox (authoranitacox) | 4 comments After contacting Amazon, they removed these books where the author used my name. I am a librarian and tried to do this myself, but was unable as an error message popped up. Please help me remove my name from these books - I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM AND MY NAME WAS USED WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. What's Yours Is Mine What's Yours Is Mine 2 For The Lover In You

message 12: by Abcdarian (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Just wondering why you claimed that particular author profile and not the one attached to your book: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

message 15: by Lory (new)

Lory Hess (18017998) | 4 comments Thank you, although I'm not sure ALL of those books are correctly attributed to him (the monster books?). Looks like this name needs some sorting out.


message 16: by Abcdarian (last edited May 04, 2015 08:17AM) (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments I moved the book away from the Michael Newton who did not write it. The profile it is currently on doesn't belong to a particular author; it has various people with the same name. If you know anything about the author of the Victorian Fairy Tales & what else is actually his, we can separate him out.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Thanks! I'll make a new author profile.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Sorry Elizabeth, I was hoping a super would take a look after the weekend.

I can move all those books away & your book back, but you will have the default profile for everyone else's books to land on when they are auto imported. We'll do that for now; you may want to have it changed later, which is something a regular librarian can't do.

Edit: Done. Thank you for your patience!

Chris Bent (chrisbent) | 4 comments There is a book that I am not the author of showing up in my author profile. It is the book at this link https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Can you remove it from the list of books I have authored or tell me how to do that?

Thanks!

Hákon Gunnarsson | 347 comments I'm pretty sure this book here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
should be under this author:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Fred Emerson Brooks 1850-1923.
Dan Sweeney was the illustrator, Jo Anderson, his print shop was the publisher / printer as can be seen in the online version here:
https://archive.org/details/medogmedo...
Could someone take a look at this for me?
Thanks in advance.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments #30: Edited: Finally found the mention of Fred Emerson Brooks as the poet; it was obscure! Will make the changes.


message 29: by Hákon (new)

Hákon Gunnarsson | 347 comments Yes, it does on page seven,

The Poet — Fred Emerson Brooks.
The Artist — Dan Sweeney, Sacramento boy

Abcdarian | 26579 comments I missed your second post & found that eventually myself. It's weird that all the credit is going to the printer, copyright holder, postscript, etc.

Yes, it is weird. It could be that it was some sort of promotional book for his printer shop, or something like that.

Marc | 1 comments This book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... is linked to incorrect James Maxwell. The real author is James Clerk Maxwell.

David (davidclowe) | 50 comments This book has been attributed to me but I didn't write it. It has been listed as part of the works done by Charles Lowe which is a name that I write under but all of my stories also have my name as part of the listed authors

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It was written by someone with the same name.
