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

Not a merge but author name with alias as one. Does something need doing?http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Doesn't look like it.
And got 417.
For Denise Moncrief:http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
into
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
as per the GR Author's request here:

"Kristen Bishop" needs to be merged with K.J. Bishop. Or, you know, just deleted or something, since the only book listed under "Kristen" is already under the proper name, and "Kristen" isn't even her name, "Kirsten" is, lol.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
The dings and dongs are cracking me up!Please use this author profile as the primary:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
And merge this one into it:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
I believe this will add this title to the primary profile:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
Thanks!

Edit: And a couple others you listed on your profile.

You've been pwned!

Thanks very much Rivka, it's a good thing you're paying closer attention than I am.

It was not a typo of any kind.
Hello!I found 03 distinct profiles of the author :
* http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
* http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
* http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
The latter two should be merged into the first. This will consequently result in many duplicated books that need to be combined though.
Kind regards,
Pablo.
Lilith Saintcrow, publishes as Lili St. Crow - all cool. Unfortunately got a hybrid add of the two names:http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
to
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... (GR Profile)
PS Should the YAs published as Lil St. Crow have Lilith Saintcrow added to records as well?

Only necessary if a given book has been published under both names at different times. But ok to do otherwise.
As of message 33 in this topic, these two need to be merged.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

could these 2 profiles be merged?http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/70...
as they are the same person.
Mod
yes - how does she "claim" her author profile from her personal profile?

* Search for yourself and click on your published author name. The author name is listed below the title of your book in the search results.
* Clicking on your name takes you to your basic author profile page. This page has your name at the top and "author profile" to the right of your name. This page is part of our database of books and authors and is separate from your member profile page (which lists your bookshelves and friends).
* Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click "Is this you?" to send a request to join the Author Program. Please give us a few days to process your request. You will receive email confirmation when we successfully upgrade your user account to an author account. Joining the program merges your author page with your member page. The email will also contain further instructions for managing your author profile.
Mod
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.

I'll take care of that, if you are willing to do the merge.
