(and unfortunately there is nothing we can do about that).

It does not change by itself, if someone removes duplicates in the list and there are both editions, then the most popular one is kept. That's why 'early intervention' is the best, non-specific editions will not have time to grow in number and overwrite correct editions :)

About the most popular one being kept, I mean? I made heaps of lists with just Dutch titles on it for our challenges, and to my annoyance occasionally titles changed into English ones.
Although (almost) all librarians check for duplicates, I know for a fact that it wasn't the most popular edition that was added by a voter to the lists I made, yet an English edition sometimes appeared on the list... (undoubtedly after a duplicate check).

I asked previously in Goodreads librarians group but got no definite answer :(
