Can someone please remove Ringworld?

Single author collections are not anthologies.

I've removed Ringworld because it's a novel!
This list needs serious maintenance.As mentioned above, single author collections should not be included here. But it seems like nearly half of the books on the list are just that. Things like "Wireless" by Charles Stross, "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison, or "The Best of Stanley G. Weinbaum" do not meet the criteria.
An anthology is a group of stories by various authors.
Also, there's at least one book on here that is an omnibus of novels. "The Callahan Chronicals" by Spider Robinson, collects three of his novels in the Callahan series. Not even close to an anthology.
Does the list owner want to remove books that are not true anthologies, or should different instructions be posted at the top of the list?
Apparently, Rob changed the list name and description to include single-author collections as well. However, that would still exclude omnibuses like The Callahan Chronicals which remains here...I've created a more restrictive list here for science fiction anthologies only.
The first two Callahan books, at least, are collections of short stories.
