#521 If he was published in English or another latin alphabet language, there should be a romanized version of the author name. All books on the first four links are Russian editions with the author name in Cyrillic on the cover, and have been transliterated differently. In this case, all these profiles can/should be merged into the Cyrillic profile, which I've done.
#522-537 done
#538 books combined. Referred the author profile with follower to GR Staff, as Librarians can't merge author profiles when one of them is a GR author.
#539-555 done
#556 skipped, please start a new thread
#558-568 done
#569 referred to GR Staff. I will keen an eye on them to combine when the profile merge is done.
#570 They are already combined. If you mean merging: I was able to find the cover for this isbn on the publisher's website. The edition without isbn is indeed a duplicate, and is merged now.
For future requests, there is a dedicated thread to have a duplicate merged: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
#571 Kindle (with ASIN) and ebook (with isbn) are considered different formats on GR. Also, editions with older covers are not to be deleted, see http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
#574 done
#576-580 done
#581 The English (and other languages) editions are by William Arden, not by Alfred Hitchcock. I can't find info about the Portuguese edition, who the actual author is.
#582-583 done
#584 first two NAB-ed (music), not sure about third
#585 done
#586 was already done
#587-595 done
#596 NAB-ed

is not an omnibus edition containing the first three SpiderWorld books. Rather it's an edition of Net Prickley's Citadel https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4....
When Eridanas still existed as a publishing house, it sometimes used quite unethical and most likely illegal means to promote their books. For example, they plastered Colin Wilson's name on the cover of the former edition and gave no indication that it is in fact an unofficial Russian-made sequel to the SpiderWorld saga. That said, the two editions should be combined and included in the appropriate series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/223316.

Oh, and I think my post #500 has been skipped by the Librarian :-(

Claudis Gedankenwelt (claudisgedankenwelt) | 209 comments Hello,

can you please combine Two Authors Profiles. They are already about the Same author, someones just put a space between two letters of the name:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thank you for your help :-)

Greetings

Claudia

should be properly named Шаман, as can be seen on the cover. It should be attributed to the proper author https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... , rather than the current improper romanization, which needs to be removed altogether.
The edition then needs to be combined with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
And finally, profiles
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
need to be crosslinked, to show they are the same person (proof: http://www.listread.ru/comparison/aut...).

These combine threads are for combining different editions of the same book. For issues with author pages, issues where also other corrections are needed, and especially for issues with authors in multiple languages/alphabets, or issues where more explanation is needed than just the link to the different editions, it is strongly recommended to please start a new thread.

Beliar | 124 comments I see, next time I'll do that.

Lee | 746 comments Lucy Maud Montgomery
L. M. Montgomery - I believe author's name should have "ma" at the beginning


message 628: by Lee (new)

Lee | 746 comments The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb
Curse of the Mummy's Tomb

The Curse of the Mummys Tomb & Lets Get Invisible Goosebumps -this doesn't really need to be combined but just that the author's name could be fixed to R.L. Stine.

thanks!

Lee | 746 comments The Cuckoo Clock of Doom
Doom cuckoo clock - goosebumps 5

The Cuckoo Clock of Doom ·Monster Blood III - another that doesn't need to be combined but that the author's name needs to be fixed to R.L. Stine.

message 642: by Beliar (new)

Beliar | 124 comments If I'm not wrong then these need to be combined.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Also, the last one has the language incorrectly set to English. It should be German.
