Author Problem

[Robyn]

I started to put this in the topic "GoodReads Author profiles needing merging", but it specifically says not to list deceased authors, so I thought it'd be better to be safe than sorry and am starting a new topic.

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

is a misspelling of Diana Wynne Jones' first name, and should be combined with

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

Definitely the same author, within the one book that the first listing is credited with (Firebirds) her name was actually linked properly as editor, just listed incorrectly for her authorial contribution to the book.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this should have gone in the other thread!

Nope, this thread is perfect. The GoodReads Author thread is specifically for authors who are part of the Goodreads Author program.

I fixed this. :)

And thank you for seeing that.

I'm not sure why Camille Saint-Saëns2 has author profile:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

but it should be merged with: Camille Saint-Saëns
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Thank you.

Also here is another incorrectly spelled author profile:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Camille Saint-Saëns is the correct spelling.

5 and 6 done.

Simon Vance, the narrator of this audio book, is listed as both AUTHOR and narrator here:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/88...

The actual author is J. Maarten Troost.

The authors are Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm.

A super would be needed to merge/delete all these.

Further to Lobstergirl's post #10, pls see 'Brothers Grimm' @ www.goodreads.com/author/show/7071552...

Re. the Brothers Grimm... all of their books should have the authors listed as Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm, correct?

Right now, there are books listed under Grimm Brothers and Brothers Grimm, as well as a myriad of other variations on their names. Could those "authors" just be merged into the author Jacob Grimm (or Wilhelm Grimm)?

All the "Brothers Grimm" variants I could find:
