message 1: by Pietro (new)

Pietro Garbelli | 4 comments I noticed that following the publication of my books in Italian language, where my author name appears as "Dott. Pietro Emanuele Garbelli" instead of "Dr. Pietro Emanuele Garbelli", a new author profile was created, and I have been unable to add those editions to my main author profile: could a librarian please help with this? I was also wondering if my author profile should have the prefix "Dr." added as the current pen name. Thank you in advance for the assistance!

Martina  (martina_s_hlavou_v_knihach) | 16710 comments 1) You posted your question in the wrong folder.

This one is for ADDING new books/editions, not for fixing/updating already existing records.

You should have posted either in Book & Author Page Issues

2) No, your title should not be added to your author name.
I am sure you worked really hard to earn it, but Goodreads is a book database not a hospital. As long as the "Dr." is not a part of your pseudonym (example - Dr. Seuss) it should not be used as a part of your author name on GR.

3) I merged the profiles. As a GR author you should be able to combine editions of the same book if needed. If you are unsure how, contact librarians in Book & Author Page Issues
