David (davidyoud) | 31 comments Haven't merged author records before, and I just want to make sure I'm going to do this correctly:

3 instances of the same author:
- http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
- http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
- http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

As far as I can tell, the Library of Congress seems to prefer Edward Fudge (with Edward William Fudge as an alternate): http://lccn.loc.gov/n82099132

From what I read on http://www.goodreads.com/help/librari... , it looks like I simply change the other two entries' name fields to "Edward Fudge", and they'll all merge together?
