http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...Someone familiar with the Bible may want to take a look at this.
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...This author only wrote the "Who then should we read" Not the weather station one. Could you remove the book from her profile?

http://www.goodreads.com/author/list/...Roberts has been the correct surname for everything I've fixed from this profile, so it looks like it might be part of a bad author merge.
This one needs some love, looks like a lot of these are actually CDs, not books, but be wary. http://www.goodreads.com/author/list/...
If anyone gets time, it would be great if people could help me find the real authors for Golden Books

Showing my ignorance...I keep seeing it, and keep thinking it's going to become apparent, since everyone seems to know it but me:What the heck is the Sisyphus list? I somehow missed it.

THANK you. It was driving me crazy...I knew it was semi-familiar, but I thought it was GR specific. I guess I should have googled, rather than searching the discussion boards...lol. I'm not usually this dense.
What was it we're supposed to do with vestigial authors? It's been a while:http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
This is kind of a weird mish-mash of issues. The books attributed to him are books of the bible, which brings up the question of them needing to be attributed to Anonymous, and the quotes attributed to him are attributed to the president. So is Abe Lincoln a translator for these biblical works, or do they need to be attributed to Anonymous and the author profile merged with president Lincoln's profile?http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...It seems there are a lot of maps by this 'author' that should be NAB-bed.
I'm not sure how much of this is "Anonymous" and how much is more modern literature under a pseudonym. http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
The books for Michael Perry (goodreads author) living in Wisconsin are showing up under another Michael Perry. Can this be fixed by someone?
Shonna, can you start a new thread for this with links to the two Michael Perrys in question and a list of the books which are attributed to the wrong one? Your request is likely to get lost in this thread.
Actually I just went on to create a new topic and it appears someone went in and fixed the situation. All titles now seem to be with the right author. (at least the books I know!)
This thread is longer than we usually like them to go, so I am closing it. Feel free to start a new thread or threads on other authors or non-authors needing help.
