These two pages have same name, single space

I don't know how or why this should be.

I'm trying to combine books but can't move a book from one author to the other
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
into
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

If I recall correctly, it was an import bug a few years ago. I remember reporting an audio narrator name that ended up with 16 one-space author profiles :)

Solution: Edit one of the unclaimed profiles to something temporary, like ReinerKnizia witout space, and then back to Reiner Knizia with one space. At the second edit you should get the author merge dialogue option.

You can skip this step. Just click edit and save, and you'll get the merge option.

Thanks both.
Edit/save/merged, so simple it didn't occur to me to try that. It worked.
