Thanks for the tips Krystal109 and vicki_girl, I'll pay better attention next time! (It's a pain in the *ss to search the ISBN numbers from English version of the manga, only found 5 French volumes and that's it. Which is too bad it's a decent manga, I've read worse :P)

In fact, Shamo appears to not be released in English at all. I fixed all the other Shamo books to be the right language and information.

I also added a LOT of the missing editions. There was some japanese, german and french volumes that needed to be manually added.

Suddenly I don't feel bad anymore, because I read it online. Thanks for helping Krystal! Is Shamo now added the way it's suppose to? If so, then I could use it as a reference next time.

For manga it is how they should be done.

The main thing to note is that titles need to be:
* Original Langauge [English Language] (Series)
if the original language is the same as the English language you can skip the English language

Also, original publishing info is shared for all editions so it needs to be the original language.

The thing I skipped doing was adding the Japanese names AFTER the English version of the names. CAUSE I R LAZY!!!

Actually, I removed the transliterated title in brackets, [Shamo, Vol. x], from the French editions. The transliterated title should only be added to editions using non-latin scripts (e.g., Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic, etc.).

Therefore, it should be:
*Title in Language of Edition (Series)

OR, for titles using non-latin scripts:
*Title in Language of Edition [Transliterated Title] (Series)

Also note, the transliterated title will likely be different for each language.

Hahahaha! Fair enough and I'll keep it in mind ;)

I suggest moving the manga discussion to its own thread, both because it doesn't really belong here, and to make finding the discussion later easier.

Also, 317 is being a pain.

Got 317. Did the work-around of moving all the data to the edition with more reviews and deleting the one with fewer reviews.

Hello,

Can you please delete these three editions? They are no longer available and have been replaced by new, re-edited/extended editions. All distribution has been stopped for these three.

I tried to do it from my author page but I can't delete them.

In an attempt to add a new book to my author profile as a contributing author, I accidentally created a duplicate:

I found a mistake and we need to merge a book which I can't seem to do yet as a new librarian. It deals with James Patterson and one of his books being wrongly titled.
"Three Blind Mice" does not exist. It should be "Four Blind Mice".

Merge...

It's not because you're new; it's because it had been shelved by more than 5 users (over 100, in this case).

Got 335

Thank you rivka for the explanation.

Re 341

Got the first link which was a paperback edition

Re the 2nd there only seems to be one audiobook so nothing to merge to

In addition, please supply links for the duplicate and the book to merge to ideally already separated unless the merge is to the most popular edition.

I normally do. I wasn't paying attention. I will see if I can find the info for the audiobook then. I thought I had seen another one somewhere.

Edit: Found the ISBN on macmillian's website, so I added it. Good thing you were double checking me Paula

344 done, didn't need a super.

It says it is an alternate cover edition, but the cover is the same.

In the time since the alternate was created, the original record had its cover changed to the alternate cover; I've reverted it.

Okay cool. I didn't even think to look at that.
