I'll be doing some of this when I have time. The correct author profile should be Earl Warren with two spaces.
I took care of a lot of Komissar X ones, they should all now be under the correct profile with the two spaces. However I did not add them to the series https://www.goodreads.com/series/2116... as I am unaware if the numbering is correct and was not sure if some of them are supposed to be merged or not as they have the same title but a different number in the series it seems.
Is there a clever way of handling the ones were the wrong author is a second author? I think I am not able to just edit the name, I need to delete and add, correct? example for this is this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

If the number of spaces for a secondary author is wrong, there is no other way than delete the wrong author and add the correct author, for each edition of the book.
I am not very experienced with editing author pages, but the profile with the two spaces should be this author and could be updated with some info: https://earlwarren.wordpress.com/autor/

I put this under projects as a lot of the books would require some corrections of title and language and maybe Co-Authors as well just judging from the look. Some of the books seem to belong to series as well.
