Goodreads Listopia

Lists show which ever edition(s) have been voted onto it. New editions do not replace old ones on lists.
Edit: and this is not something librarians have any control over.

That is actually a consideration list for a YA committee:

Oh, okay. Is Taysha some pronunciation of some acronym?
Lobstergirl wrote: "Oh, okay. Is Taysha some pronunciation of some acronym?"It's actually a Caddo Indian word.
From the link above:
'TAYSHAS' takes its name from the Caddo Indian word meaning "friends or allies." Written texas, texios, tejas, teyas or tayshas, the word was applied to the Caddos by the Spanish in eastern Texas, who regarded them as friends and allies against the Apaches.
A personal list of favorite Harlequin Love-Inspired Suspense books: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...
This one?https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...
Looking at the tag, it's possible it's a sort of personal favorites, but I don't know

I haven't worked enough with Listopia to know the ins and outs, so I thought I'd post this one here... It's a list of a particular author's books (2), made by that author. Since it says it's only for her books, does that fall under the promotional flag??https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...
Also, is there info anywhere on what's acceptable or not in Listopia? I didn't find anything in the manual about it, other than the publisher imprints bit. Thanks!
Mod
That's because it's not primarily a librarian concern: all users can add and vote on Listopias. The guidelines are therefore on the page you see when adding a new one: https://www.goodreads.com/list/new

What may be posted in this group/thread is a link to a specific Listopia and a list of books (or just one, if that is the case) that do not meet that list's original guidelines.
235 Could that list be about the book (or film) Matilda by Roald Dahl?
I don't know. I'm not familiar with either one.
Yep: "Matilda has read a variety of books, especially at the age of four, when she read many in six months" (list follows): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilda_...
Why is this list marked as static?: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...With the exception of the 2009 (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/3...) and 2011 (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...) lists, which are also static, all the other New York Times annual lists are votable, and there don't seem to have been many problems in keeping them clean.
Unless there is a good reason for treating the new list differently, can it (and the other 2) be unmarked so people can vote for their favourite books out of the 100? Thanks

The below three look like a class reading list? Wasn't sure if that's too personal or not...

I added a book to a YA list on Listopia without realizing it was for YA. The book is not appropriate for this list. Can someone please help me remove it? Thank you.
Pls delete. Seems like not a serious list. Someone testing how to do a list.https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...
That test list has been voted on by a fake "test" user with a dozen "test" books hosting a "test" giveaway. I've emailed support. What's crazy is all the people adding his fake books to their lists and entering the giveaway.
So the reply from support was that it was a GR staff test list and sorry for the confusion. It's gone now but a memo stating it was a staff test would have cleared that up. ;)This list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...
has several books with the wrong cover showing. I'm not sure how to correct that?
Maybe start a thread in "book covers" for it? It's probably due to either an automatic cover change, or a librarian cover change. The question always is, which cover is right for that ISBN? And if multiple covers go with that ISBN, you'd want to revert the improper cover change and create an Alternate Cover Edition.
A bunch of lists with Sterek in the title - someone fill me in...https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
But the book is not going to be published until the year 2105, so is it really eligible for a listopia?
This topic has been frozen by the moderator. No new comments can be posted.
This is my main listing with the new book cover. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I'd like this version to show the lists that it is on.
This is all the lists associated with the old cover.
https://www.goodreads.com/list/book/2...
The problem is that everyone is going to the new listing and they don't see the "lists" that the book is already on.
