Please merge these profiles of the same author:

Miklukho-Maklai Nikolai Nikolaevich

Mikluho Maklai

We do not merge author names in different languages. Please see: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/... (See: Authors published in multiple languages)

Authors with books published in multiple languages should have their names dealt with similarly to those with pen names. All editions should have the primary author name as the standard or most common Roman (that is, English-language) version of the author's name. Editions published under another spelling of the name or the name in another language should have that name listed as the secondary author. Different editions of a book not having the same primary author can cause quite a few distinct problems. Please keep the primary author for all editions of a work the same.

They are not all in different languages. The first one is in Ukrainian, the second and the third are in Russian and all others are in English (even the one that uses a strange letter "ĭ").

Moreover, all of those English spellings are incorrect, since his name in English is Nicholas Miklouho-Maclay (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nichola...). Can you creat a page for him with this name and make it a primary author?

I see that almost all of those pages have the same book atributed to them, but they are not combined.

For exapmle, these are the different editions of the same book:
1. Мандрівка на Нову Гвінею
2. Insel am Äquator
3. Путешествия
4. Путешествия на берег Маклая
5. Puteshestviya
6. jurnal de calatorie
7. The New Guinea Diaries 1871 1883
8. Amicizia coi selvaggi
9. Экспедиция за Человеком

They have a little different titles but they are the same book about Maclay's journey to the New Guinea.

Also, these two books should be merged:
Человек с Луны: Дневники, статьи, письма Н.Н.Миклухо-Маклая
Chelovek S Luny

The author's profile has since be created at Nicholas Miklouho-Maclay.
Most of the books were cleaned by now, I finished the rest.
