Red Haircrow (redhaircrow) | 12 comments This author needs to have some books taken off of his authored list which are not his, per a correspondence from the publisher. I just finished reviewing Bruce C. Davis books and contacted the publisher for a bio, which is why I have the information.

I've corrected several books to the actual name that's on the book's cover, which took some of them off Bruce C. Davis's list but some are still there. I've copied the links to them here.

The author's original page where I added his correct profile and photo http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/.... As you can see also, his rating is also "off" as it's higher than should be possible.

The titles that need to be removed are:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39...

Great thanks to whomever knows how to do so!

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Thanks for the list! I've disambiguated Bruce C. Davis.

Someone might want to try and disambig Bruce C.^^Davis further: I'm pretty sure that there's an art curator (possibly more usually credited as Bruce Davis with no middle initial) and a third different author. --Actually, I found existing author profiles for all of the other books listed under Bruce C. Davis which weren't this sf author.

Red, does the original profile for Bruce C. Davis look correct to you now?

Nenangs | 464 comments I think there are actually several Michael Greenbergs.

Can somebody sort them out?

Hi Nenangs,
I sorted out Michael Greenberg as far as I could. I found 3 distinct Michael Greenbergs:

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

a number of books written by Michael R. Greenberg, a couple by Michael D. Greenberg, two written by Michael I. Greenberg and one written by Michael V. Greenberg.

There are still a number of books on this Michael Greenberg profile that need further disambiguation. Maybe another librarian knows more about these?

Bryn Hammond (brynhammond) | 68 comments Thomas Holt seems to be at least two people.

One is the author of 'Meadowland' and 'A Song for Nero.' I am fairly sure this novelist should only have these two, out of the books listed.

This novelist also writes as Tom Holt: Tom Holt Can the Tom Holt bio serve also for Thomas, who has no info? The bio explains his two names.

Both Thomas novels are listed twice, as Tom too:

Meadowland
Meadowland: A Novel of the Viking Discovery of America

Song For Nero
A Song for Nero: A Novel

Both are written as Thomas Holt, as witnessed by the covers.

Cheers

Nenangs | 464 comments not too sure about this:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

but pretty sure about this:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
it's not even an author.
done some books (a small portion), but need help for the rest especially where there's no cover image available yet. :(

I sorted out Daniel Jones as far as I could. There are still a number of books on this profile that need further disambiguation. Maybe another librarian knows more about these?

Done. Please don't resurrect a thread from 10 years ago. Start a new one instead, in the future.
