lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Huh, OK. Thanks rivka. Back to 657, the short story is not merging. I think it was referenced earlier in this thread, but regardless it's timing out on me. Someone else want to try?

The edition you linked is listed as an audiobook. The description gives the source (and possibly the publisher?). I combined it for now.

Since the only difference is the publication date, it is likely a reprint. I merged it and recombined.

I tried as well. Not working for me either.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Cheers Cait, and another AMS one - tidying up after an author merge yesterday...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
Have combined with the relevant other editions to retain the ratings.

message 681: by Matthew (new)

Matthew (swint) | 14 comments I was doing a few minor edits to a book this morning and noticed the author had four distinct works listed on his author page. There are currently only two distinct works of his in the Goodreads database. Two of the titles on his author page need to be deleted as it appears they were added by the same user and contain no data except title, edition information and language. The edition information states Kindle, but the Kindle Edition of this book has already been added to the database. These two are unnecessary and need to be deleted.

Sylvie (sylview) | 189 comments These editions:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

are duplicates of this:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

I've separated them. After deletion, the main title can be re-combined with the other "Dreams of My Russian Summers" editions.

Thanks!

Got 692. Thanks for separating out the editions, Sylvie. Makes the merge much easier.

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 64 comments Someone keeps adding this book and attributing it to Kristen Ashley, who has said repeatedly that it is not hers. Is there any way to prevent someone from adding it again? Anyway, it's up in 2 versions.

It's not like Kristine Ashley is a unique name. There could easily be a different author of the same name, so I'm moving it there.

True, except that the person who added it had the name Kristen Ashley in the title, where it didn't belong, then had Kristine listed as the official author

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Kristen Ashley isn't necessarily unique either.


UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 64 comments If someone puts one author name in the title line, then another name in the author's spot, just a (mis)spelling variation, doesn't that raise questions about whether or not the book exists? Or which author it's by?

Someone has even created a "tour book" of sorts, listing all the places Kristen Ashley's books mention. It's not a real book, someone just created it and added it to GR.

I guess it would be nice if people took the time to verify what they add, but it sounds as though its no big deal, so why bother?


message 690: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
The fact that someone keeps adding it implies that they really do think it exists. And it certainly could, even if it's not by the well-known author.

You might be right.
