Two profiles with same author name and books

[Laurie]

I found author S. K. Yule. Has two profiles one profile has 3 books, I added one book and it went to this profile. The other profile has more of her books. I may have over looked, but I cant find out to combine the two or delete one.
I hope I'm posting this to the right discussion. Sorry if I'm not.
Thanks for any help, Laurie

[Melody]

can you post links?

[Cait]

Laurie, I've combined everything I could find under S.K. Yule. (One profile had a space between the initials, which is the incorrect format for GR but appears to have been imported that way from Amazon, sadly.) If you find any other books by this author which are not listed under the correct author profile, could you link to them here? This is indeed the correct place to ask, and thank you for catching this problem and letting us know!

[Melody]

Ah - that's why I couldn't find two. Cait was already working on it. :-)

[Laurie]

Thank you so much! The author contacted me for reviews and I wanted to get this straight before putting a plug in trying to get her to join GR. Thats all of her books for now.

Imported data from amazon is often problematic, in my experience.

There are two profiles of one author:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
because she has two surnames and sometimes she is written with one and sometimes with both. If someone could combine this profiles it would be great :)

[Melody]

Got them - http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... They're here.

And I finally got all 9 of the books to show up in her profile.

[Irm]

Thanks a lot :)

I hope this is the right place to post this, but i don't know how to fix it. This is the same author and she has two different pages.

Thanks :)

[Melody]

Got it

[Rachel]

thanks melody :)

Hi, can somebody delete the author:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

There's already her profile (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...).
Thanks a lot!

[Melody]

Combined the profiles and the books.

[Meghan]

Hi, here's another author with two pages.
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
I combined the books already, the second profile just needs to be deleted/combined. Thanks!

[Lisa]

Got it, Meghan.

[Meghan]

Thanks again. :)

[Klaudia]

thanks, Melody

How can I merge this
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
with Paulo Coelho main page , the system refuses saying He is the only one who can do it .

[Melody]

The author has to be changed on each individual listing - including the quotes. I'll help with it.

[Niledaughter]

Thanks, Melody

[Amanda]

I'm having trouble with that too! There seems to be several Amanda Rose Authors on here. I tried to upload my book but it went under the other author's name. Can someone please help me straighten this out. Thanks!!


This is my book..

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Amanda, is that your only published book so far?

[Amanda]

Yes.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Ok, this is now you. You may want to request to join the GR Author Program by clicking "Is this you? Let us know." at the bottom of the page. For future reference, your author name has an extra space between first and last names. It doesn't show up on your page or book pages, but it helps the system keep you separate from the other author of the same name. :) So when you add any additional books, you may need to edit them to add the extra space in the author name to push them to your profile.

[Amanda]

Got it now! Thank you so much for your help.

[Melody]

Oh stinker. I was just going to take a look at the other Amanda Rose by saying I was going to combine - then not really doing it - and I accidentally combined. I've separated again and I hope that will teach me to just not be so nosy. Anyway here you are now Sorry.

Let me go back and retrieve those quotes too. AHHHH

[Amanda]

okay so I applied for the Author Program, do I need to do anything else or am I now set up?

[rivka, Former Moderator]

In fact, you've already been approved! (Wow, that was some timing.)

Have fun with all the new tools you now have. :)

[Amanda]

thanks!!! you guys are the best!
