message 601: by Antonomasia (new)

Antonomasia | 514 comments This needs to be merged with the most popular edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The book has never been translated into English, (and as you can see this edition has no ISBN) although the author uses English on her website and in the linked reading group guide so as to communicate with people from a large range of countries.

A Hungarian user added the record with the english name and blurb from the website in 2011 but used the estonian cover.

Vincent Wong (vincentwyr) | 1 comments Hello,

Can someone be kind enough to delete this duplicated entry?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thank you! :)

R.S. Guthrie (rsguthrie) | 13 comments I would be grateful for your assistance in removing/deleting these two books from my "Books by R.S. Guthrie" list. I am not associated with these books, do not know the author, was neither "Editor" or "Translator" nor did I authorize the use of my name. The copyright violation of the use of my name has been addressed with Amazon and the books have been taken down and no longer appear on their site. Thanks so much in advance for your help.

You have copyright on your name? Seriously, is that a thing? I thought people's names could not be protected like that. So any R.S. Guthries out there are violating your copyright when they use their own name?

GR does not delete books that have been published, either traditionally or selfpublished.

This is a book cataloging site and as such books remain so people have them can shelve and review them.

message 631: by Lorre (new)

Lorre | 108 comments This book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... should be deleted because it was not released on it's own but in an anthology.
The anthology is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Also in this case, when there is no discerning info at all (except that we know that it's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)?

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #656 is processing... done! :)


message 635: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #659 done. Replaced the cover on the main hardcover with the one from the duplicate, as it was watermarked (as well as being of a lower quality).

But in this case, a merge does seem appropriate. (Deletion if it had no other editions to merge into would not be. And neither would a merge if the record or its logs retained any details that might allow reconstruction.)

Deletion pending.

Lana White | 1 comments Hi,
I'm a new author to Goodreads and I noticed a book associated with my name that is not mine.

I did not write Language Awareness: A History of Implementations. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5.... If you would be so kind as to remove it from my author page I would greatly appreciate it. I do not want to take credit for someone else's work.
Thank You, Lana White

Lana,

In the future, you should start a new thread for books that belong to another author.

I have moved this book for you.

Maarit | 450 comments Please merge this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (7 ratings) with this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (23 ratings) and combine with original work (also remove the librarian note I added).

They are a same book affected by the ISBN-10 X-problem (other has capital X -letter in ISBN, other the tiny x).

I'll combine it with the correct work after the merge. Thanks in advance!


message 650: by M.E. (new)

M.E. Parker | 5 comments I need some help. Not sure if this is the right thread or not. But there are two entries for the same book, one paperback one ebook, but the titles are presented a little differently making them not link as different additions of the same book. Here is the active page for the book which is the paperback version. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...?

Then there was another page
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...?
added later (not sure by who) for ebook version but is inactive and should either be linked up to the active paperback page or removed.

Many Thanks,
Mitch
