Book & Author Page Issues

"Authors" Needing help
Everytime I try to add Sophocles on Horacio Castellanos Moya's page I insert sophocles as an influence using the following:open square bracket
Sophocles|1002
close square bracket
then when I save and view Horacio Castellanos Moya's page the sophocles link is corrupted to a:Sophocles|1002 with a broken author image link . . . embedded in the name/link.
Inserting other authors as influences into Horacio Castellanos Moya's page seems to work ok, just Sophocles link behaves badly?
Is this an Author problem or word count/character count/byte limit on the influences field that makes author links break if the character limit in the field is exceeded?
Help? Suggestions?
I am using Firefox 4.0.1 when I try this.
Hi GoodReads Librarians -A few more books that have shown up on my book page - but that don't below to me:

Thanks,

I took care of "After" Attributed it to its own Ann Douglas and Combined After paperback and hardback editions. I also disambiguated Ann Douglas, Parr Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia. She edited or wrote the intro for the Little Women Edition below.

The remaining Elijah books appear to be by someone using this pseudonym.
Star Trek Next Gen is gone.
Unknown. is down to two that I can't find. [Edit: thanks to somebody for finishing them off!]

The ones that are left appear to be single name authors, but I suspect there are at least 3 separate ones.
While working on J. I came upon a weird problem; maybe it's a temporary glitch-? I'm having trouble adding Jean Guion's name to Jeanine Guion's books; they write together, but when I edit the name in and save, it disappears.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

[J. is done, as are the four authors below it I think, and Unkown is down to one.
Smith, Paul, West still need work.][Powell done.]
I think all of this actor's works are not books or screenplays, but actual movies.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

I think this book needs to be disambiguated from the author it's currently attributed to, unless the Jonas Brothers are also hunters.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...
NBC Television Network.

Tiffany wrote: "I'll have the Jonas Brothers one done in a few minutes..."Done. I was able to find the names of the individual brothers, so I changed "Jonas Brothers" to each of the five brothers.

Took out the NBC Television, but I'm seeing all sources (B&N, Amazon, etc) showing the wrong cover, with the wrong author...I deleted the cover, too...but suspect it will pop back up with the next update. This does seem to be an actual book.

worldcat says: "Reprint. Originally published: Denver, Colo. : Jonas Bros., 1939." So Jonas Bros. was probably the publisher. If it was put as Jonas Bros. rather than Jonas Brothers it might prevent confusion--?
Or it's shown as Various on this site: http://www.betterworldbooks.com/game-...
as well as this one: http://berkelouw.com.au/catalogue/boo... which also has a useful write-up of the contents.
I changed Game Trails (re: 1131, 1132) to include the worldcat info + summary & put the author as Various. It kills me how many Jonas Brothers fans rated it!

This one looks legit, by the reviews on Amazon...guides to publishing Kindle books on Amazon, by Amazon.
