Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

These are two cases where a single author has multiple pages that need to be consolidated into one author page. None of these are claimed author pages, so librarians should be able to handle it.

All of these pages need to be consolidated into one: Julio Capó Jr.

All of these pages need to be consolidated into one: Kawamata Chiaki. Please note that Kawamata is the author’s family name and Chiaki is his first name since in Japan, the family name comes first.

Bumping the thread.

These were done a couple days ago.

Thanks for pointing that out, much appreciated. However, there are still errors on both author pages:

- Julio Capó Jr.'s name is listed as Julió Capo Jr. The accent mark is on the wrong O.

- Rather than "Capo Jr." being listed as the last name and "Julió" as the first name, "Capo Jr. Julió" is listed as the entire last name and the first name box is left blank.

- Rather than "Kawamata" being listed as the last name and "Chiaki" as the first name, "Kawmata Chiaki" is listed as the entire last name and the first name box is left blank.

If you want me to start a new thread for those errors, let me know and I will.

I fixed Julio's display name but otherwise everything looks okay.

There's definitely something still wrong with both authors' names. I pulled up my books to double-check; there should be a comma between "Kawamata" and "Chiaki" to indicate the last name/first name separation, but it's not there.



And Julio Capó Jr.'s name is sorted correctly but just completely breaks the Last Name, First Name format.

Two days have passed, so I'm giving the thread another bump.

Bumping again. The name errors are still present.

fixed both of them.
Julio Capó Jr. & Kawamata Chiaki

Thank you for fixing Capó Jr.'s name, but Kawamata is still incorrect. Chiaki is his first name, but the change you made has it so that Chiaki is set as his last name.
