Please delete duplicate series listing

[Karma♥Bites ^.~]

L.H. Cosway has The Ultimate Power series listed twice. (Odd, didn't think system would permit this.) Wasn't sure what factor is used to delete one over the other so made minor corrective changes before posting.

Created first: http://www.goodreads.com/series/84929...

Created March 2013: http://www.goodreads.com/series/99896...

Thank you.

Books can have multiple series. How would the system know the difference between a duplicate and a related but distinct series?

Deleted duplicate.

[Karma♥Bites ^.~]

Yes, true. :) I was thinking that the same series title + author name would trigger something. Thank you!

Done. This is the 'other' one that is left:

I like the librarian note you have left on her mess-ups. The built-in link works well. I might just borrow it.

[Karma♥Bites ^.~]

Thank you. And feel free to use note--I started to keep TXT file w/ boilerplate language so to not retype every time. :/

Me too, 134 lines so far.

Eeep! LOL, you did start much earlier than I... and hopefully, I won't need more than the current handful for the little I do. :)

I'm not an expert with series, but I believe Robin Hobb's series got really mixed up. https://www.goodreads.com/series/list... Mainly the problem is other language versions.. *really confusing*

[Renske]

22 Found and removed a few duplicate series.

Hi, thanks for your time, but i think the problem still exists.. There's a big confusion throughout the language versions, shall I refer to another thread?

[Renske]

I see some extra series because some translated editions are split in multiple parts. Which series are not correct, do you think?

[Yannis]

Yeah, that might be the case, but it affects the basic series.. For example, all the books "Farseer Trilogy" appears as "L'assasin royal" (Assassin's Apprentice), I tried to (move up) the original series name but that did not work.. :/

[Renske]

Moving series indeed doesn't work, the work around is to remove it from the series and add it again. So "Farseer Trilogy" is now the primary series for that book.

[Yannis]

Hmm, ok thanks for your time!!! :D Will know, from now on, what to do ;)

Thank you :)

#29 has been done.

[Dee]

Monique and Karmabites,
I was the one who created the listing Karma refers to in message 29. The author contacted me to tell me the series had the wrong books included, so I thought I fixed it but didn't realize I was creating another listing. The one that is listed as duplicate/incomplete in #29 is the actual series according to the author. Should I have the author make the request directly? Thank you

Dee,

The one listed as the duplicate is gone. I deleted that series entry on Feb 18. The one listed as the other one was identical with the exception of the the 3 book bundle which should be there anyway.

[Dee]

Thank you.

[Karma♥Bites ^.~]

Seems person created series page 2x. Dup @ www.goodreads.com/series/126721-the-s...

Other (which I first saw/fixed) @ www.goodreads.com/series/126720-the-s...

Thanks!

Looks like someone got 33.

[Karma♥Bites ^.~]

Possible dup for deletion. Personally feel that link #1 (listing only Tales) should be merged into the actual series @ link #2.

FYI, I just added the 2 Tales into main series & added a 'NB'. But IDK enough about GR's series listings but leaving decision re: deleting link #1 up to someone else. :)

#1 = Tales @ www.goodreads.com/series/120568-haber...

#2 = main books @ www.goodreads.com/series/106617-the-h...

Agreed. Duplicate deleted.

Those appear to be sub-series, which are fine.

[Karma♥Bites ^.~]

Oh, OK, thanks! IDK that installments for serial format were considered sub-series.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

They can be treated as such, especially if it is useful for readers (which it looks like it might be in this case).
