if you delete the KB6NU you could add it to his description

Banjomike | 5166 comments extra name in quotes. Does not appear on books.

if an extra name in quotes appears on books in the same format is it always safe to assume that it does not need posting here?


message 419: by Banjomike (new)

Banjomike | 5166 comments two extra names
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Searching on the name in brackets, Christy Distler, doesn't find the book that it should. Presumably a feature of the search engine.

Yes, as far as I can think of examples.

Not sure what you did. But what you could not have done -- because it can only be done by a GR staff member -- is merge the profiles.

Oh, i renamed the authors in the books, i thought that was the point.

When I merge the profiles, it fixes all the affected books at once.

The name as it appears on books does not have a hyphen.
The website address has an extra space between the forward slashes.

the first account isn't two people, it is one person spelt two different ways

the book doesn't have ANY name on the cover but the author's selling page on Lulu credits it to "Caleb Warta" with copyright to "Caleb Warta/Ritter". Complicated.

That's why we post here--so rivka, a staff member, can take care of them.
