Liz Waters | 1 comments I cannot seem to get the other books by a person with my name off of my page. Does anyone know how to do this?

Paula (paulaan) | 332 comments If you list the books that are not yours they can be moved to a new profile.

Edit: Found the info, for future reference any book issues should be reported in the GR Librarians group,

Edit2: The author page is cached so should update in the next 24 / 48 hours

Paula = goodreads librarian who happened to be reading your post here so went ahead and fixed.

Usually the quickest way to get a librarian's attention (librarians help maintain goodreads databases and handle book issues) is to post in librarians group which is always monitored by librarians.

Sandra Ross | 4 comments I have two books that I have written listed here:

"Going Gentle Into That Good Night"

"Fields of Gold: A Love Story"

and they're assigned to another author with my name (Sandra Ross). The other author writes fiction (neither of these are) and it's nothing close to who or what I am or would write about. How can I fix this ASAP?

Thank you!

Sandra Ross | 4 comments Oh, and how do I get to the librarians' group to post this? I don't see it here.

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) Librarians group is at http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/220

Or click "Groups" from top menu bar and look down righthand column for the "official " goodreads groups; Librarians Group is "help desk"/"knowledge base" type of forum for specific book issues and keeping the goodreads book database/catalog accurate and up to date (including series, author profiles, some listopia issues, etc.); the Feedback group is the site help desk (bugs, suggestions, official site announcements, etc.).

Paula fixed your posted issue because she spotted the post here. Not unusual for posts in librarians group to have issues fixed within 1-15 minutes of posting if just a few straightforward book data edits because constantly monitored by a very active group of librarians.
