message 360: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12223 comments Petya, this thread is for those cases one of the authors is a Goodreads author, because besides the author also Rivka can merge those profiles. So normal Librarians can not merge the requests made here. (Merging of two normal authors shouldn't be asked here.)

Petya Manolova (petolinie) | 1 comments Oh,I see..Well,the thread does say: Goodreads Author profiles needing merging, but I assumed it meant for those authors which are in Goodreads database..Not their actual account here.. I'm sorry..And thank you,Renske! :]

Got 362.

Regarding the purpose of this thread, instructions are in the first post, and have been repeated about ever page or two since.

Re 366: You'll need to claim your author profile. That's no something we can do for you, but there are instructions here: http://www.goodreads.com/author/program

Please only list authors in this topic who need to be merged by a GR staff member. That is, when one of the profiles has been claimed by the GR-member author.

Do not list authors for disambiguation, authors who are deceased, or authors needing merging where neither profile has been claimed.

Posts that do not belong in this thread may be deleted.

Liana Brooks | 2 comments I'm a GR author, but my books have wound up under two accounts (one for the book with a publisher one for the SP books it seems).

This is my account:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

And this is also me:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Can someone please help me fix this?

Merged.

K, Nz | 162 comments Zoë Sharp's profile is http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
I've been in touch re joining as a goodreads author.

This has shown up - could it be the imports causing it?
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
How would it be best to deal with it?

Thanks very much :)

They should be merged, but since the author has not yet claimed her profile, any librarian can do the merge.


message 383: by K, (new)

K, Nz | 162 comments Thanks Rivka, as I've tried it before and it worked opposite to the way I hope, I'm unsure about doing it again myself :)
Would it pay to keep an eye on this, is it likely to happen again?

Thank you.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments I've shifted the former Tori^Scott to her published name (Victoria^^Scott, in fact), so the GR Author Tori^^Scott could be shifted to the one-space profile now.

Not all the books on the second profile belong to the first. The ones that do will need to be edited individually.


message 391: by Lapo (new)

Lapo (lapomelzi) Hello,

I need three editions of my book to be merged (I think). Two are paperback (one cream paper, the other white paper), and the third is the kindle edition.
Here are the links:

Thank you

Koenraad (koenraadkelemen) | 6993 comments I combined them for you, and for me the search works. If you have any questions that are linked to your status as a Goodreads author, I suggest you put them in the Author Feedback Group:
http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/3...
I think you're have a much better change of getting an answer there since the message you put in the librarian change log is only seen by someone who's looking at the specific book page.

Book combine requests do not belong in this thread.


message 394: by Lapo (new)

Lapo (lapomelzi) Understood. Sorry.

Lori A May (loriamay) | 1 comments Hello Librarians!

I hope someone here can help me. I am a GR author, and it seems two of my four books are incorrectly assigned to variations of my name. I’d like to see all of my books listed under my proper name: Lori A. May

This is my active, correct profile: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

The two books I would like to see attributed correctly are as follows:

'stains' shows Lori A May as the author, but without the period after the A it does not direct to my profile:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66...

My latest book, 'The Low-Residency MFA Handbook,' has the middle initial omitted and thus also does not direct to my profile:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95...

I would appreciate any help in getting the author names corrected and redirected to my profile. Thank you for your assistance!

Kindly,
Lori A. May
