the problem is that one member already shelved it.

Actually i can't. Because that member is not active anymore. He shelved just one book, and inactive since December 2011.

Btw, Looking at the data sources; book only have author and title information, and they are entered by a Deleted User.

Since this author is the founder of my country, i am pretty sure that he doesn't have such a book. Someone just entered this book as a placeholder for something else, or he was just trying to learn how to add books.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Re 253 - deleted, could not find mention of book and it looks very much like a test


message 254: by Nenangs (new)

Nenangs | 464 comments maybe.
for me it feels rude to just delete book(s) from somebody's shelf without trying to ask him/her first.
*shrug*

zap!

Andrea (andrea_b) | 571 comments please merge http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95... into http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75... (there was some confusion with covers and alternate editions a while back, but it was fixed)


message 262: by Saturnina (new)

Saturnina | 12 comments Not sure exactly what should be done with this one:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

It seems to have been two hardcover books sold on Amazon Marketplace (for some reason marked as audio casettes?):

http://www.amazon.com/The-Diaries-Fam...

Since the entry needs rescuing, but the only relevant info is on Amazon, I'm no sure how to proceed. Quite a few people have shelved it as well.

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6347 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16... needs super.

other than an incorrectly spelled title and having partial author credits (I noticed when marking some of author's books for myself) this 6-person shelving book has no other information and was probably a pre-release member addition of now released book.


message 267: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments So, 268 done, and 269 looks like a re-used ISBN for VHS and a book.


message 268: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments 265 done, 270 done. I've separated 264 out, but I'll leave the merge to another super. For some reason I'm getting timeouts on the edit page.

For a time we were getting imports from Amazon for everything with an ASIN, not just Kindle books. I think that is a leftover from that bad import. I think we could merge it with the first in the series.

It's the cover for the weekly print version (basically a magazine of manga that is released weekly until the manga is complete).

This is titled "Milk Shake (Series)". Not an actual book.


message 286: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31627 comments That cover appears to be for Milk Shake 2, but cannot be switched over as it is the default for Milk Shake 1, even if it has no info, it still has plenty of ratings.

Super needed :)

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6347 comments For 289, No, I think that's just a Manga. #1 in series is titled "series #1", #2 title will be series #2" and so so on, particularly for the non-English editions.


message 288: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments It was a placeholder for the whole series. Krystal combined it so it could be merged with the first in the series, per policy. I have zapped it.

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6347 comments Gr cross posting delays; there was no 290 post when I responded to 289 and when I looked at books were already fixed apparently. I think I'm stopping tonight. Lots of odd errors and delays editing books, refreshing ratings, combining...

Oni (onisur) | 35 comments I am having problem with these twos:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91...

Maybe it is place holder made by fans.

But since the author, Harry Harrison has passed away, I assume we can delete them.

Thanks vicki. I knew you'd get what I was doing there.


✘✘ Sarah ✘✘ (former Nefarious Breeder of Murderous Crustaceans) (oosarahoo) | 134 comments I think this book should be deleted: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

It only has a partial isbn and seems to be a duplicate entry for this edition:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...


message 293: by Sandra (last edited Jan 05, 2013 12:03AM) (new)

Sandra | 31627 comments I think instead the correct ISBN should be found, if possible. WorldCat shows many editions in French for 2004 by that publisher and it shows a different cover.

The correct ISBN seems to be 9782290357248. Its first digits have been used as the isbn of the book I think should be deleted. What do you think?

Looks like a match, however, it has a different cover so should be made into an alternate cover edition.

message 298: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Re #296, deleted bad ISBN and marked as Alternate Cover Edition.

Got #299.


message 299: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Re #301, both editions have a valid ISBN. We do not delete editions with valids ISBNs. I have combined the edition you linked with the others.
