There are two entries for my books, both under Robert D. Cornwall.I have an author page that lists five of my books, but two others list under another reference. http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
The books listed under the entry below needs to be merged with the above. Both of these are me.

Rivka,Is there any quick way you can move the quotes and interview from this profile: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... to this one: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... (a Goodread's author)?
Edit: And the polls and topics that mention this author seem to all be about the YA Ellen too.
Mod
How can we move the polls and topics? I've been moving the quotes.
Mod
So maybe merging them and then making the Goodread's author be Ellen with one space and then discriminating the science fiction author to two spaces and then moving the quotes back might be the only way. What do you think?

--Might want to discuss using the author's middle initial with him, since it seems to be on a lot of his book covers.

If you're willing to take care of the second step, I'll do the first (after checking that it will work with one of our devs).

I've moved them. I also sent her a message to see if I missed anything.
Good work Melody! I was just asking about how best to move all this author's quotes in an earlier post. Seems you've solved it.
Of course I thought of a way that would have made it easier after the fact. But I will try not to dwell on it ....
These two too please! http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

I don't want to know, do I?
Could have disambiguated the books from the author ellen^Hopkins to ellen^^^Hopkins and left just the quotes and interviews and stuff. Merged ellen^hopkins and Ellen^^hopkins. Then changed ellen^^^hopkins to ellen^^hopkins. But i thought of it too late ...

The Serbian spelling of the author's name should not be combined/merged. It just gets moved to the secondary position and the English spelling is primary, which was already done on all those books.
