a comma and missing dothttp://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
the book cover shows it to be "H.X. Sin"

#460I tried. Unfortunately, the author himself has to make the correction.

You should not touch anything in this thread. It is specifically for Goodreads Employees to fix these issues.

The name as it appears on books does not have a hyphen.
The website address has an extra space between the forward slashes."
I'm not seeing anything needing me on that one.
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... with http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
(the first one has 2 books listed, one with both listed as authors and the other one (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...) that would need merging by a superlibrarian.
thanks!
On #469: I snagged the item needing the merge, and merged it.

the books do include “Papis”
all lowercasehttp://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
on her book it is "aLia asmara". Makes all the difference.

single name with a dothttp://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
There is an second author named Hanako (author of the manga Yume de Aetara) but it is NOT the same person.
EDIT: ignore it. I've just realized that the dot is for disambiguation.
extra Fr. and JCDhttp://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
JCD = Juris Canonici Doctor = Doctor of Canon Law. I'm sure you already knew that.

The names on the cover of the sole book are "Rebecca Richmond" and "Claire Pickering". No sign of "The Writers’ House UK" on the cover.
The book:

#492 - the books listed under the M.D. name have been adjusted to not show up, but in order for the entire M.D. profile to go away, the author has to make the adjustment because he is a Goodreads author. A GR staff member may be able to help further.
#493 - Same thing... the book listed under Rick, Johnson (with a comma) has been adjusted to the proper Author name (without the comma), but because Rick Johnson is a Goodreads author, I cannot merge the profiles, but a GR staff member or super may be able to help.
494, 495 Rene, I left the books with the other author as the proper procedure when you find this situation is to post the two profiles here so that a Super librarian can merge the profiles RATHER then just changing the author. (This changes the authors also)This is the reason that this topic is
Goodreads Author profiles needing merging BY GR STAFF pt. 2
Please do not just change the authors on the books as some information can be left behind on the author's page and lost if a cleanup program deletes the profile because it has no books

First Name: Andrey
Last Name: Belyanin
And there is a lot of duplicates within these profiles
Since that one is not a goodreads' author I was able to merge the profiles. http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... This one should stay separate since it is the Russian spelling.
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...into (Kemble Scott is the pen name on the book)

extra "Adrian"http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
book does not show the extra name, it has "Katrina D. Miller"
