Shim (slimmy) | 3437 comments I noticed that thousands of books are improperly linked to "Aubry Andrews"

they are currently split on two different pages:

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

Many of the books have the correct author in the title or on the cover.

I asked support why it was like this but so far I haven't gotten a satisfactory response.

Shim (slimmy) | 3437 comments Possibly that originally the author was just "AA" and someone changed it to "Aubry Andrews".

Arenda | 26447 comments There was a thread about this author back in September, and some explanation how it happened: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

The GR author mentioned in the September thread has been separated from the other profiles earlier this month: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Shim (slimmy) | 3437 comments So even if the books have ASINs they still potentially should be marked as invalid?

Clare Snow (claresnow) | 1131 comments A similar thing happened with the author Howard Hughes. Some titles were legitimate records but not by Howard Hughes

I made a thread about it https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Some of the records were corrected. When I looked at the author today there are many invalid bot imports that are not by Howard Hughes. Is this something Support needs to fix?
