Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments Not a merge, but... David Cooper is a GR author that doesn't look active and I'm certain many of the books on the profile aren't the same person (nor do I know which David Cooper this is).

I'm trying to disambiguate, but it's slow going since I can't access the disambig tool due to him being a GR author. I'm going to keep plugging away at it... but I'm not sure he needs to exist as a GR author or if there's something you can see that we can't that indicated who he might be?

If I had to make a guess I'd say this is his only book. Looks like a self-published book of poetry.

Banjomike | 5166 comments This is the David Cooper music writer

I would agree that GR probably need to identify him.

Re 667/669. Looks like Melody is correct about which book is his. I made him David-6space-Cooper, and disambig'd all the other books with David Cooper as primary back to a new David-1space-Cooper. The books which have him as secondary will need individual editing, but they would in any case.

Re 680: also not a GR Author. Profiles that have not been claimed should not be posted in this thread, as they do not require a GR staffer to merge them.

Re 690: Someone fixed one of those books (which any librarian could have done), and the other doesn't belong to the GR Author.

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments Hey! Where's my "ping"?

If I respond otherwise, I don't usually ALSO post a done post.

But for you, PING!

Banjomike | 5166 comments Continuing the saga of the Robyn Schneider pages.

This one DOES
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

need to be merged into the GR author
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

The non-gr book is mentioned on her website but not under books:
http://www.robynschneider.com/bio/

"Is the author of four books for teens and tweens:
The Secret Prince (Aladdin Books 2011),
Knightley Academy (Aladdin Books 2010),
The Social Climber’s Guide to High School (Simon Pulse 2007) and
Better Than Yesterday (Delacorte 2007). "

For completeness, she also has another GR Author page for Violet Haberdasher the author of "The Secret Prince" and "Knightley Academy"

Good enough for me.


message 694: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (shgmclicious) | 25 comments Thanks, Banjomike. You beat me to both points, about those definitely all being her books, and about Violet Haberdasher.

ding!


message 699: by Banjomike (new)

Banjomike | 5166 comments Referring to #704, the initial "n" of "noraWalksInSpirit" should be lowercase if possible.
