Single name author. Two of them appear to have the same author, the rest, I'm not so sure about.

This is correct as is.

Merged with Anonymous.

Fixed two of them; the other three are correct as-is, although I suspect there are two different Maras, there's no way to disambig a one-name author.

I found a bio, but I'm a little scared of the combining work, especially since half of his huge series Yakari has the illustrator Derib in the primary author slot....

I'm not sure where this should be posted, but this is definitely an 'author needing help' - I know David Jones as the modern poet, author of In Parenthesis, but obviously it is quite a common name and not all of these are the same David Jones.

Another publisher listed as an author...

M, probably not capable of sending 007 after us. (This is validly the author of Death Note: L, Change the World, though.)

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Got the M's that ought not to be there. There are two legit ones left. And the one Cait mentioned seems to actually be listed under Takeshi Obata. Is that not correct?

[Paula]

here is one for the Sisyphus' List

No, Takeshi Obata is one of the creators of the original Death Note series, but this novel is written by someone else.

[Heather]

I'm not sure how many of these are actual books, but I am certain that a comic book character did not write them.

The two books I see appear perfectly legit; the "photo" is gone.

Timothy C. Luther, to be precise. Got 'im.

[Heather]

This author is shown as just having a first initial rather than a full first name.

Well, some authors do publish that way. But this one seems to have no books listed.

[Heather]

Single name author. Someone with knowledge of foreign languages will probably need to be enlisted.

I put in a profile for the author of "Nos amis les Objets" (did someone change the author on this book to Titus Besse? that's not correct), but I can't find any information on "Adieu Edouard" other than that it's not the same Titus.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Heather wrote: "Single name author.

Fixed all but one. "Titus" seems to be correct for that one.

[Cait]

Whoops, I think we collided again on Titus, rivka! :) Are you working on Daniel, or is it safe for me to wade in?

[rivka, Former Moderator]

I was. But I think I'm done for now.

That's what WorldCat says.

[Heather]

Single name author. It may be a pen name.

Single name author that has no books attributed to it.

Not, actually. Got 'em.

Turkish authors and their books need modifications, i.e. there are two authors as Yaşar Kemal and Yasar Kemal because of Turkish letters. The first has 68 books, the other has only 8 books. If these are not cleaned up, there will be more problems like this in Goodreads

rivka wrote: "That's what WorldCat says."

I think that WorldCat jumped to the logical but incorrect conclusion in this case (the cover does say "Titus & Christopher Belle", which usually means "Titus Belle & Christopher Belle")!

[Paula]

Message 132 - I have sorted the multiple profiles but will now require a Turkish speaker to combine the editions

Today I applied for being a librarian and when it is approved I'm ready for that mission :))

[Paula]

Go forth and succeed :)

Thanks

edit: Just seen your not a librarian so you will not be able to combine the books - if you want to post links to the same books - I will combine

[Gökberk]

Ok, I will make a list of authors and books and write down here.

I'm a librarian from now on and if you send me your list, I can modify the authors and the books.

Heh. No, most of those are Marquis de Sade, I think.

Yup, all either the Marquis or tab books for the band Sade.

I'm pretty sure the last one left is Edward Lear, but I don't think I can tackle Edward Lear today -- there are a lot of editions of "The Nonsense Poems" and variants that I can't decipher.
