Charles Murray is the co-author of the controversial book "The Bell Curve" (https://www.librarything.com/work/8319/workdetails/27910753), yet it is not listed on his author page at all (https://www.librarything.com/author/murraycharles-1). How can this be fixed?

The Bell Curve is the very first work listed on his author page. See Charles A. Murray.

I suggest that you edit your entry to make the author name Murray, Charles A. instead of whatever you currently have.

Notice that the work page 'Other author' points to Charles A. Murray.

Okay, I see. These two author pages show different things: https://www.librarything.com/author/murraycharles-1 and https://www.librarything.com/author/murraycharlesa

That seems odd.

Some of the books (like The Bell Curve) go directly to https://www.librarything.com/author/murraycharlesa

Others go to https://www.librarything.com/author/murraycharles-1 and are then aliased to Charles A.

It is quite normal that the author page to which the books are aliased has the more complete list. That's how it works.

If you search Add Books for ISBN 0684824299, you get several choices for library data. The first several give his name as Charles A. Murray.

All the covers say Charles Murray.
