Philip | 2 comments The Quote's link:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1100...

The problem:
I couldn't select the right author of the quote, the system only allowed me to select another author with the same name.

The right author:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Please help!


Philip | 2 comments Also I accidentally added an extra comma in the text.
Could you please replace the text with the right quote:

"Jack the Ripper, I’ll burn bright as a light. Burn out the darkness like a single lantern in sight. One message of fear, one message of hope, which Jack will outlast is the question provoked."

When there is more than one author with the same name, GR uses one or more extra spaces between first name/initials and last name to separate their profiles. This James G. Robertson has 2 spaces. This extra space has to be entered in the author search field on the 'add quote' page. When the correct author is chosen here, the dropdown list should also show the correct books.
