"Authors" Needing help
Hmmm... got them all (901), but one is still lingering on the page, so I can't change it to Various. Guess I'll give it a few more minutes.
Unknown.(This author actually ends with a period; that's why it's on this discussion board).http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Those should probably be merged with the bigger Unknown, but it's less daunting to try and put actual authors on them while the list is this short, so I'll work on that for a bit first. (Why do people list the author as unknown and then add an image of the book cover which shows the author's name?!)
That's a question I have wondered about too Cait. I have worked lately on Various, Unknown, etc. and others and just looked at the picture. Simple, but effective.
Trying to add the birth and death years of Lucius Apuleius http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... but even though the I choose the year "124" and it shows 124, after I save it shows 2024. Not sure how to correct that.... other than not list a birth year. Suggestions?

This will probably require a staff member, as one of the authors is a GR author.http://www.goodreads.com/author/simil...
The Amanda Ashley that is a GR author has 2 spaces. But, as far as I can tell, the non-GR author has only written one book. The two should really be swapped so that new imports are going to the correct author more often than not.
No idea how "do-able" that is, but I thought I should suggest it.

Not especially. Unfortunately.

We've fixed it and it'll be live so you can add in the correct year in the next release.

Think I've sorted out anything that doesn't belong to this author profile. Haven't found anything else for her name though.

They don't need to/they don't care? Money?
I'm pretty sure the idk is Little Bee by Chris Cleve.

I've done what I can with this one. The info is from French wikipedia, and does include a real name, but everything is published under Dodo, so I left it that way.
Here is an ebook publisher. I don't have time to work on it myself right now:http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
I have been working on this one, but I have to break now. Most of them have "Tk" as a secondary author/narrator.

Also writes as Joylynn M. Jossel and E.N. Joy. Some of those are erotic, some poetry, some Christian. Not sure how to handle combining or linking them, considering the varied content. Over to someone else.
