Yang (yangxx) | 1 comments Hi! I've removed a misspelled author's name, which merged it into the correct profile at http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

However the one book that was previously listed under the incorrect author name is now listed as another book under the correct author name (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...). Any chance it could be merged with the actual book at http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28...?

My apologies if this is not the right place to ask. Thanks!

I combined some others I noticed on some of the author profiles I was working on whilst working on #166...

After seeing your comment, just tidied up a few there:

With the 2nd set, noticed 1 group wasn't combined (the author was listed as Andrew Mullender): I found references that said the author should be Audrey Mullender and corrected:
http://prism.talis.com/brighton-ac/it...
http://sabre.sussex.ac.uk/vufindsmu/R...

With the fourth set, the first author name on the first book was incorrect as per the cover. Now combined (the 7th set is to actually combine these 2 authors).

With the 8th & 9th sets, the second author had no period on the initial, so they weren't all combined (but are now).

With the 10th, temporarily switched the author on one group in order to combine then switched back (couldn't find references quickly as to which should be the primary author/editor).

With the 11th & 12th sets, checked WorldCat for the primary author (plus the cover of the first book), and they're now combined.

With the 13th, the author of the 2nd book needed updating to the correct form (Cathy Humphries), then both combined.

With the 14th, only one book, but combined all books under that author that I could see needed combining.

The last entry has the best listing of all the authors who contributed to this short story collection, but the other two entries have the best formatting for the book description.

Thank you.

June Williams (junewilliams) | 34 comments Thank you, Ellie (176).

Now may I ask someone to delete:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

The book used to have three listings and two author pages. The page listed above is now redundant - it's the wrong spelling for his name, and it has no books listed, so it is not even an author page for a real person.

Thank you all for keeping the Goodreads database so clean!

Re #177, empty author pages automatically disappear periodically -- I think there's a GR script or something similar.

Good morning -

This book was put out under a pen name, which is being retired. It is now reissued in Kindle and Paperback with a new cover and ISBN (for the paperback), with the author being 'Diana Wilder writing as Anne Shaughnessy'.

The original edition will be withdrawn in short order. I have added the book; can it be consolidated with the initial edition? There is a slight change in the title 'The Orphan's Tale, Book I: Malet's Story is now 'The Orphan's Tale (Book I)'

Here are the ISBNS:

First book:
ISBN-10: 1490519203
ISBN-13: 978-1490519203

The updated edition:
ISBN-10: 1492866687
ISBN-13: 978-1492866688

I appreciate your help.

Diana wilder

Brian (herkamur) | 87 comments I've added a new (well, old actually) edition of a book and request it be added to the existing editions:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

I also noticed the original publication date on the existing editions is incorrect. The original publication is the book I added with a date of 1918.


message 177: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #182 done.

The original publication date is an automatic thing in most cases based on the oldest edition of the combined set.

Brian (herkamur) | 87 comments I have added (yet another) edition of Robinson Crusoe and would like to have it combined with the others:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I also noticed several other editions that should also likely be combined here:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Thanks folks.


message 181: by Brian (new)

Brian (herkamur) | 87 comments Oh, and I don't know the publishing date on this edition other than 1950 or earlier (it was given to my dad as a Christmas present that year). There is no date anywhere in the book.

Rebecca | 3 comments Please combine:

There is an issue with the top edition listed being wrongly attributed to a different Helen Cooper (a children's author as opposed to a literary historian) which I'm not sure how to fix myself, but they are in fact editions of the same book.


message 183: by Marisa (new)

Marisa (marisasorenson) | 558 comments #186 and #188 done.

Rebecca, the Helen Cooper you were looking for had an extra space in her name. Like this, Helen^^Cooper (^ signifies spaces). It's the way we distinguish different authors with the same names. Hope this helps!


message 184: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 3 comments Marisa - thank you very much for your speedy response and for the advice! :)

Brian (herkamur) | 87 comments Could the following editions please be combined?

Marisa (marisasorenson) | 558 comments #191 and #192 are done!


message 188: by Brian (new)

Brian (herkamur) | 87 comments Thanks for the earlier responses. I have another. These should be combined:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

And could you please copy the cover image from the latter to the former. They are identical covers.

Thanks again.


message 189: by Marisa (new)

Marisa (marisasorenson) | 558 comments #194 done! I copied the cover image over like you wanted, and you're welcome!

message 193: by Iris (new)

Iris (irisonbooks) | 1 comments Could these editions be combined: https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8...

I manually added the new Persephone edition, without realising it would appear as an altogether different book.

Brian (herkamur) | 87 comments All these appear to be iterations of the same book:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

I've also added this 4th iteration:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Could all these be combined, please? Thank you.

I more or less did as you asked, except there were a couple called "The New Encyclopedia..." as opposed to "The Encyclopedia...". I separated those from each other, and I grabbed as many covers from Amazon as I could.


message 199: by Brian (new)

Brian (herkamur) | 87 comments Ah, yes. Makes sense. Thanks for that.


message 200: by Steve (new)

Steve | 45 comments Hi there. Please combine the following editions:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The former is the original, the latter is a French translation. Thank you.
