Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

This thread is for authors with names in common with one or more other authors. If you have found a book or book(s) by your fellow-named authors, or for some other reason someone else's book has landed on your profile, this is the thread for you.

Please include a link to each book that needs moving off your profile.

(Note: Starting new threads for each author (or book) is still ok. This thread is to prevent such requests from landing in the Please Delete thread.)

Hi - please could you move this book off my profile:

Thanks!

Can you help. My name is John Molyneux and I have the same name as another author on Goodreads. My books have been bundled under his name presumably by mistake. I would like my work to be distinguishable from his ( it is a totally different Genre). I would like to know how I can resolve this matter. Unfortunately I do not have a distinguishing middle name. Currently my three books are The Phoenix, The Crystal Entanglement and The Quicksilver Wyrm. I am about to publish a fourth book and wish to correct this error before it 'hits the shelves'

#9 Seems another librarian took care of it: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
#10 Done, although it'll be some time before cache catches up. I've added a series for your work too: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2755...

#10 Thank you.

I am a new author with just one book. Two other books have appeared on my page - I guess because the author names are the same.
MY BOOK IS: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

The two that are not mine are:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

This book is listed correctly under Ashley N. Blake
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

but still shows up *incorrectly under Ashley Blake
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Can the latter be removed since the former is correct?

Both are correct editions. I have linked them.

I'm trying to set up my author's page, but the book I wrote has already been (incorrectly) attributed to another author, with the same name as me.

You can find the book here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Please would it be possible to remove the attribution to the existing James Hewitt, so I can set up an author page, and claim attribution?

This book is not mine. Could you please remove it from my profile. Thank you.

Hello,

The books attributed to me are incorrect - only The Whirling Room should appear on my author profile.

Many thanks.

Hello! This is not my book. Could I please have it removed from my profile?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Thank you!

#21 Kay, you do not have an author profile. I moved your book to a new one. You can claim it here:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...
Should you wish to claim it, you will be Kay^^Woods where ^ represents a space. It would make your user profile public instead of private and merge the two together.
Goodreads uses spaces in the author fields to differentiate between authors of the same name.

#22 Amy, done; it could take a couple days to stop showing on your main page.

Quantum mechanics for kids by Christopher Gilbert is that authors only book so far. He's 12. Is it possible to change the info? Maybe a new author page

Quantum Mechanics for Kids: A Humorous, Easy-to-Read, Math-Free Book on a Very Perplexing Subject

Hi,

This book is not mine: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Could you please remove it. Thanks!

I wrote the book " https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... " and it is my only work that appears on goodreads. When registering I recall indicating it was my only works and the other Trevor Coopers works were not mine but appears on my author profile anyway.

Someone advised need to post to this "librarians group" and hopefully found the right thread to tell me how or ideally have someone move the other 8 books from my personal profile.

Please remove this book, again, please it is not mine thank you.

Here’s a fun one — EVERY book on my profile aside from Effin’ Birds: A Field Guide To Identification is not mine. We had this sorted out in the past, but I just looked today and they’ve all returned, as if all that work to make us into two separate people was suddenly undone.

Hi, can you please remove this book from my profile?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

I didn't write this. Thank you!

Hi, this book had a spelling misprint in the credits which has since been corrected. Could you please update the translator's name on the book's entry, and could the book please be linked to an updated (new?) page for the correct translator?

#39 Translator name updated, thank you for the link to the publisher's site. Do you know if this author is the translator, or is it a different Stephen Christiansen? https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... Edit: completed in post #43, 44

#40 C. G., is it a case of you no longer being a contributor to the upcoming 2020 release, or is it a case of a different person, also a romance author, who happen to have the same name as you? Edit: Continued in #45/46.

Thanks for the response.
No, the linked author is not the same Stephen Christiansen.

#39/43 Many thanks for checking. Moved the translator Stephen Christiansen to a new author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I am no longer a contributor. I see now that I should have started a separate thread. My apologies.

C.G. wrote: "I am no longer a contributor."

#40/45 Thank you for your reply. If it wasn't for the fact your name is still visible on the cover art of the Amazon listing, I would be able to remove your name from the Goodreads book record.

You can either post back when the cover on Amazon have been updated to no longer list your name, or contact Goodreads staff and request that your name be removed from the book record. Contact form here: https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

Thank you!!

Thanks for setting up this thread.

I need your help, please, removing an incorrect entry on the list of my books:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

Because I share a name (Tim Butcher) with a couple of other authors, their books occasionally end up on my list. This is what has happened so please can you remove this book (by a different Tim Butcher) from my list:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

With thanks again for your help,
