Also, Linda^Jones is a different author. So actually let's make sure these don't go to someone else's profile.
Linda Winstead Jones writes under:* Linda Jones
* Linda Fallon
* Linda Winstead Jones
* Linda Devline
It seems that Linda Winstead Jones and Linda Fallon are the only separate profiles
All fixed. Also I will have rivka merge Linda Devline with Linda Winstead Jones.
Yeayy.. Thanks a lot, Krystal =)
Thanks for bringing it to my attention so we could make sure all her work is in the right place and not on someone elses profile.

Now at least I understand why you posted in the thread, but we DON'T merge different pen-names into a single profile.
Okay. I thought I saw you guys do it before with another author, but it was probably my mistake.Can you at least add a link on her main profile.
Okay rivka. Another lesson. In the past you combined Denise Hampton and Denise Domning. I am wondering what the difference is with that and this.Apparently, I need to look up the dictionary words alias, pseudonym, and pen name.
Mod
Either the request came from the author or I made a mistake.
And I don't add content to GR Author profiles without their request.
Oh. I guess I will contact them about it.In case you are wondering it was 813 post on the merge thread.

AHAHAHAHA... I should have probably clicked to see if they were combined. Okay good, cause when I said we don't combine alias' someone else made it sound like you guys did.It's all very confusing, but at least I got the whole truth.
Please link Tombo and Lorraine E. Harr as the former is a pseudonym of the latter. This link http://www.ahapoetry.com/ahalynx/212L... should resolve any doubt. PS Is this the correct approach when unlinked pseudonyms are found?
Profiles have links to each other now.
I became a Librarian yesterday, so I'm only looking at the posts in here to see how it's done. How do you combine authors, or is that only for a super librarian?
Oh, as it turns out, it's easy (if you're a librarian and know a little html). All you need to do is edit the author data and add a html link to the other author profile. Click "edit data" at Tombo and you'll see. Glad to see I can do this myself from now on, without having to bother the supers.Thanks, Vicki_girl!

There's one thing I want to ask. The author's name Linda Winstead Jones and Linda Jones are the same. But in this book, she uses Linda Jones. Should I delete Linda Winstead Jones name from the information detail?
Thank you.
