Another one with two Goodreads Author profileshttp://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

EDIT
just noticed that each of the Goodreads Authors has an update from a Ruth N, but they are different users.

That single book should not have the GR Author at all. Fixing.

If someone moved them, it was not she. She has done zero edits, ever.

Despite the bio, many of the books on the non-GR author page do not belong to her. A few do and need moving over.

The GR Author page has a load of Unknown Books as well as a few puzzles but the two books on the "to merge" page ARE hers.

there is a different, non-GR author Laura M. Hartman (WITH dot) and one book
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Somebody created an author profile for me under the name Dinah Lee Kung which is empty, no photo, etc., just my books. My correct author profile page uses the umlaut in my name, Dinah Lee Küng. I'd like people searching for Kung to be directed automatically to the correct page for Küng. That's how it works with my books. (I can't access this "Kung" author page to make any changes and I don't know who created it. Some of my metadata from paperbacks might have been entered by a publisher in London without the umlaut.)As many people don't know where the umlaut is on their keyboard (option-u) they need both options automatically to land them at the same pages for author and books.
Is this authors name fit GR's standards for the way names are written?http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
His website is here: http://guyanthonydemarco.com/
where it is written properly.

A Visit from VoltaireFurther to my post above, for reasons of interference from someone opening a phony author page for "Kung" instead of "Küng", and shifting something over, now I can't access/open the downloaded epub file for my own book, "A Visit From Voltaire"
Please get rid of author page for Dinah L. Kung. It's a mistake because of a publisher listing for one book from the 90's.The authentic author page is Dinah Lee Küng (with am umlaut over the u.)
and please direct all searchs for Dinah Lee Kung without an umlaut and my books to the legitimate author page.
Thanks
Dinah, it's not a phony profile. As you can see on its page, it is not claimed, no one is pretending to be you. It is simply the result of your work being in the system under your name without the umlauted letter, which was an honest mistake on the part of a user or publisher. Rivka needs to merge the two profiles or whatever the proper procedure is for names with foreign characters. Just relax. It will be fixed. But this is not something "regular" librarians can do.
