Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments Some of these edits will need a super, but some can be done by any librarian.

I found this user who had added quite a few books to the database many of which have exact matches (including covers).

She has also used a lot of image from Amazon complete with the "click to look inside" arrow - so those needs to be fixed.

I started at the end and got to Dragonflight before I decided I needed to get off the computer - if anyone else wants to take a crack at it, feel free!


Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments I got Get Off the Unicorn cover replaced (actually had hard copy on hand).

Krystal109 | 1086 comments I have had another author do this with manga. They just add all new books with the covers and don't bother to check if the books already exist.

I appreciate that they want the books in there with the cover, but at least check if you should EDIT a book first. This crap is starting to annoy me. New books should not be allowed to be added by anyone... they just create a ton of Dupes.

I'll see what I can do on this list.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Also, did you message them and ask them to not add books that already exist in the database?

Was their editions the ones with the amazon image I am seeing in the "Other Editions"?

Amanda | 2442 comments I got a few of the Mercedes Lackey Valdemar duplicates. They were exact copies of the most popular edition (including cover image).

Krystal109 | 1086 comments Finding dupes that aren't by her in the process.

Someone needs to warn her about adding and straight copy and pasting from Amazon.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments I finished off page 2. From the end toward the most recent, the last book I edited was "The Innocent".
