Request #267 is from today.
Should corrections & combinations be asked for separately? It seems that those posts are done quicker.

That seems like a good idea.
Even better idea, a new post for each individual (or chunk) of editing requests.
A thread with 200-300 posts gets too cumbersome.

I'm not clear on whether this is Harry Hole #6, or #7. You indicate it's #7, but the original title input already was "Frelseren," which is Harry Hole #6. #7's original title is Snømannen.
I've updated the record here
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...
with the official spelling of Nesbo's name in first position, but left it uncombined until someone's sure which book in the series it is.

Even better idea, a new post for each individual (or chunk) of editing requests.
A thread with 200-300 posts gets too cumbersome. "
And yet, for combination of editions in the Adding New Books section, the thread is over 800 posts.
A super librarian in the near past closed a thread when it hit 1000 posts/20 pages and started a new one. A cut off at some point is understandable, but why should a new subject line have to be done for repetitive requests?
Doesn't a click on the number of new posts, in parentheses and in red, take one directly to the new posts since your last view?

That seems like a good idea."
Then I would have to keep a note of those needing combination and wait until after they are corrected, and then put in another request for combination.
And if the librarian did not correct with the first name as requested, it would have to be corrected again to match the other edition(s) for combining.
Isn't it better for the librarian to know it needs combining and all editions be seen, so the librarian knows all the relevant info before correcting and combining?
