Actually Patrick G. Cox is the same author to ALL of those books, including the nonfiction ones (Marine Fire Studies, A Guide to Fire Investigation and the NEBOSH study book). I've spoken with him via a LinkedIn group and by email. His website is: http://www.harryheron.com/ that lists at least 2 of these textbooks.
Can you add his name for those books as a Goodreads Author, please? Thank you.

For the Goodreads Author, Sharon Buchbinder: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... - she also has a book under Sharon B. Buchbinder at http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... (for Indroduction to Health Care Management) - these are the same author. She wants this 2nd link to be merged into the 1st one (the Goodreads Author link). She has written the fiction & non-fiction books. I've spoken with her thru an organization we both belong to, as well as on Facebook & email. She has tried to combine these, but it tell her, "Sorry, only users with librarian status can edit book & author data."Thank you,
Lea Ellen

WorldCat said the author was Paul Douglas Lockhart so I figured it was the same despite the abrupt turn to mathematics.

re editors of Collins German-English dictionary:my most recent error: Merging Author Profiles. I am certain that 'Veronika,' 'Peter,' and 'Wendy' will be contacting us, pronto.
To avoid confusing myself, as I added authors to this valuable reference, I entered first names of editors; upon looking at my work and realizing the editors had only 'Christian' names, i commenced correcting my error. The hole only got deeper!
can you help?
Re 92 - it helps if you provide links to the books affected and what are the surnames of Wendy and Peter? This is also not the correct thread to post in since they are not GR authors.
I have started a new thread here so as not to derail this one further

Do not list authors for disambiguation, authors who are deceased, or authors needing merging where neither profile has been claimed.

Please only list authors in this topic who need to be merged by a GR staff member. That is, when one of the profiles has been claimed by the GR-member author.
Do not list authors for disambiguation, authors who are deceased, or authors needing merging where neither profile has been claimed.

Usually we deliberately DON'T do that, as most authors get more annoyed by books importing to their profiles that are not theirs than by their books needing editing to get them to the right place.
