"Sorry, this author is on Goodreads and is responsible for editing their own data"

Is the message I got when I tried to merge both profiles. If you contact the author herself, she might do it for you. (:

That's why she posted here. So rivka could do it.

Got 568.


message 566: by Laura (new)

Laura Bang (barefootsong) | 1 comments http://www.goodreads.com/author/edit/... is a misspelling of the author's first name.

Her GR Author profile is here: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Thanks!

Got 572.

In future, please link to the profile page, not the edit page.

Got 575. Waiting on 574 -- has a bunch of NAB candidates I want a developer to take a look at.

(Also, please include both author profiles when you post.)

Ok, 574 is done.

i'm not seeing any space differentiation on this one, so can't figure out how to combine - thanks!

Please link author profiles, not books. Anyway, in this case, the profiles should definitely NOT be merged, as only a single book needs to be moved (edited). The others don't belong to the GR Author.


message 582: by Tom (new)

Tom | 73 comments Thanks. That is why I posted the books and not the author page. How do you edit the author to select the GR's one?


message 583: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
You don't. You edit the book.

In this case, the GR Author is the 2space and the other is 1space. So I edited the book needing moving, added a second space in the author's name, and saved.

Any librarian can do this, whether the author is a GR Author or not.

Why do you think those are the same author? A GR staff member appears to have deliberately separated them out.


message 592: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Google Books frequently doesn't know the difference between different authors with the same name.

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

And is there some reason the GR Author is using the name "1" instead of the name listed on the cover of his books?

No idea. Fixed.
