Ahhh - I couldn't see an author's request and I've got to get over my trust of WorldCat.

I'm trying to merge S.E. Smith (#5841432) with S.E. Smith (#6446003) but can't. Merge probably isn't happening because the author has her profile locked. author:5841432.S_E_Smith was created by fans of S.E. (Susan) Smith a few months ago.
author:6446003.S_E_Smith was created when the author S.E. (Susan) Smith joined goodreads recently.
Is there a way to confirm with S.E. (Susan) that these are indeed both her and have them merged?
I have tried to use the specific goodreads author id numbers to merge but haven't figured out how.
Help would be appreciated, thanks.

The web link goes to the same page - so they look like the same author to me. Rivka will have to merge them.

I don't know what I was trying to copy. Obviously not that.

Hi,I have the author account for Mary E. Lowd, and I recently noticed that my name is incorrectly listed on an anthology as Mary M. Lowd. So, despite the wrong middle initial both of these authors are me:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
(For proof of the mistaken initial, I offer the publisher's website for the anthology -- my correct name can be found in the book's description: http://furplanet.com/shop/item.aspx?i...)
Thanks for any help with this!
-Mary
