Please only list authors in this topic who need to be merged by a GR staff member. That is, when one of the profiles has been claimed by the GR-member author.

Do not list authors for disambiguation, authors who are deceased, or authors needing merging where neither profile has been claimed.

They (the quotes, really) get merged into the first author.

Mark Jacobs | 2 comments Hello. I just joined as an author. I had one book already on the site which I added to my author profile. I tried to manually add a new title but all I seem to have done is create a separate author page. If someone can somehow add the second book/profile to my main author profile page, I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

Kim | 607 comments Which book are you referring to on the second profile? Are they all yours?

I moved it to your profile. For future reference, you are Mark-2space-Jacobs. To keep your books separate from other authors with the same name, your books have an extra space between your first and last names -- invisible everywhere except when adding/editing a book, or when editing your profile.

Also, books with ASINs are Kindle editions. If your book also exists as a ebook with an ISBN, another edition should be added.

I assumed it was the one he currently has as his profile pic. ;)

You must have moved it before I viewed the second profile :P

K.M. Johnson-Weider (johnsonweider) | 2 comments We are Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ author K.M. Johnson-Weider, profile at: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

We need the following book of ours added to our profile: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... We are listed as the author, but the profiles aren't linking.
Thanks!


message 325: by Kim (new)

Kim | 607 comments Strange that your GR author profile has an extra space. Rivka should be able to fix it up.

Sheri Fink (sherifink) | 3 comments Hi there! I recently added my latest book to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ and unintentionally created a new Author. :) I need to merge my two books into my existing Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author Profile. I tried copying and pasting the author name as suggested in the Librarian Manual, but it didn't work. Can you please advise?

My Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author profile: http://www.goodreads.com/sherifink

My new book to add to my Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author profile: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

NOTE: There is another author named Sheri Fink who wrote the War Hospital books. Please do NOT merge these with my Author Profile. :)

Thanks so much for your help!
Sheri

Ok, all fixed. When adding one of your books, please keep in mind that there should be two spaces between your first and last names.

Also, please do not add the author role "author". Only other roles (illustrator, narrator, editor) should be added.

No, those two are deliberately disambiguated. If some of the books need to be moved from one profile to the other, they will need to be edited individually. Not all the books on the second profile belong to the first, certainly.

That is the GR author's official blog, linked from the web site listed on her profile. In turn, the blog page links to , which lists a bunch of the author's backlist she's reissued as ebooks, including most of the ones on the second profile.

Honeymoon House isn't on the list but according to it's copyrighted to Diane McClure Jones. So is The Boy on the Cover. I tend to think they're all associated with the same person but perhaps I've gotten confused somewhere.

Quite a few were disambiguated out by a GR employee in 2008. That usually means the author has told us that those books are not theirs.

Why are you adding the first profile as a secondary author to books if you are suggesting they be merged?


message 341: by Deon (new)

Deon (deonva) | 3715 comments merged please, the second listing is the correct (goodreads author)


message 342: by Deon (new)

Deon (deonva) | 3715 comments I am not sure the correct way of doing this
I didn't remember I could ask super librarian
