Two different authors need to be separated

[Jaz]

Hi, there is a problem with some author pages.

Jerry West (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...)

Andrew E. Svenson (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...)

Jerry West is an athlete/author with Andrew E. Svenson is the real name of the author who wrote the Happy Hollisters series (his pen name was Jerry West). Some of the Happy Hollisters books show up on the athlete's page, which should be fixed.

Additionally, I was wondering if there is a way to denote that Andrew E. Svenson used the pen name Jerry West on his author profile. Since all of his books (they are currently being republished) say "Jerry West" it may confuse some readers.

Thank you for your time!

We can disambiguate Jerry^West the athlete from Jerry^^West the pseudonym with the extra space, then in the author info area of Andrew Stevenson, we can say something like "wrote under the pen name Jerry West" and have it linked to Jerry"two spaces"West.
The new books that get published will probably continue to import with one space, so it might be something to keep an eye on in the future as an ongoing project...

Ok, I made the changes. New author profile is Jerry West.
I just wonder now if each of the Happy Holister books should be edited to have Jerry^^West as the primary author (since that appears to be on the book covers and on WorldCat the most), with Andrew E. Svenson as the secondary author?

Sounds reasonable.
