Book to remove from my profile

[Chris]

Hi. I need to remove another book from my profile (second time in just a few hours a new book has been added to my profile but it's not by me). My profile page is:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
This book is not by me:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...

Moved to Chris^^Butler. When this happens again, it'll helpful if you can mention that you're Chris^Butler (^ being a space).

We have an import running, and since you are the Chris Butler with one space in his name (we also have one with 2, one with 3, various middle initials, and so on), all books by any Chris Butler will import to your profile.

If you like, I can make you Chris-4space-Butler, and this will stop happening. The extra spaces would only be visible when editing your profile or books.

Yes, please, I think that would be best as today I have yet another book on my profile that is not by me:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...

I've also noticed that when I am on my profile page my browser's title for the webpage refers to me as "Chris Butler ( of GUD)". I can't see any way to remove "(of GUD)" through editing my profile, but would like to remove it. My only link to GUD magazine was through having a story published in the magazine.

Unless I'm quite mistaken, an author's most rated book will show up in the parenthesis, meaning it's automatic and can't be manually changed. It'll change automatically once another one of your books garners more ratings than the magazine you contributed to.

Thanks Amara. I hadn't realised how that works, but I understand it now.

Am still waiting for action on my request at message 4 above.

Rivka's the only one with the ability to change you from Chris^Butler to Chris^^^^Butler, so I won't be able to take care of that for you; but I've moved the book you mentioned in post #4 to Chris^^Butler, so that's taken care of. :)

Holiday weekend. :)

I now dub thee Chris-4space-Butler.

Thanks rivka. One more book managed to get on to my profile yesterday, so if you could remove it that would be great. It's this one:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...

I assume when I do have new books out I will need to have them put on to my profile by requesting it through the forum here?

Moved.

That depends if they import or you add them manually. If they import, yes. If you add them manually, just make sure you include 4 spaces between your first name and last in the author slot.

Ok, thank you. :)
