Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

This version of Arms of the Storm has the author's name wrong. The correct author page is M. Todd Gallowglas. Once the correct is made, the above needs to be combined with this version: Arms of the Storm.

Thanks!

Putting the author merge request in and sorting the combine now.

Combine done - waiting on a Super for the merge as he's a GR author.

No need to merge author, just need to fix the name so it's the same/correct. If I were still librarian I could do it myself, but ... you can do that. Just edit, then copy/paste the author's name from the correct form. That will fix the name and move it onto the correct author page. I hope that made sense! LOL Thanks!

Author merge is standard practice in case of other records linking to the wrong author. Rivka has done it.

Oh, so taking off the book and putting it on the correct page doesn't automatically remove the incorrect record? Oh, weird. Well, cool, thanks!

It will move the book, which is what I did anyway for the combine, but it's best to merge the two author records because more than books can be linked to an author record. Plus a tidy database is a less confusing one! :) Erm, can you tell what I do in real life? ;)
