Z-squared | 8576 comments hi emy, i'm currently cleaning up those entries, getting rid of dups, uploading covers, etc. could you hold off on any more changes? i almost lost a (valid) merge because you were so quick to recombine something i'd separated. thanks!

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Please leave a note if you are doing work like that as anyone could have issues otherwise :) Unfortunately the psychic module is still Not Yet Implemented :(


message 9: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8576 comments i did leave a note. message 5. i didn't expect anyone else to work on that record further once the original request had been fulfilled. i don't have a psychic module either.

Z-squared | 8576 comments dup of the primary edition (split isbn and isbn13 between issues):

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

After you delete, could you pretty, pretty please add the ISBN to the primary edition so this doesn't happen again? thanks!

Z-squared | 8576 comments please merge:

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

The second one is not really a kindle, it's a paperback resale of the first edition that has been assigned an ASIN.

And please recombine with remaining editions. Thanks!

We overlapped on the posting, but erm, thread title ;) Also, I meant Note as in on the book records.

When ISBNs are split, helps to have both versions linked... :)

The book record needed repairing (which I have done), not deletion.

Please DO NOT mark books as "not a book". If a book record needs correcting, please start a thread in this group asking for help.

due to advice from a friend and a professional opinion the idea that I had is going to be shelved indefinitely.

So this book has not been published or distributed to any readers? Because I see it has ratings.

Looks like vandalism. I've flagged the changes, but if you did too that's good :)

message 44: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8576 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

i asked for this to be deleted weeks ago, because the short story was canceled before publication (but after Goodreads users had made an entry and shelved it a bazillion times) and then reincorporated into a new anthology soon to be released. now the new book is almost out, but the old, canceled cover/title is still the default edition because it was added the most. i know there was a bug or something that kept this deletion from going through, but perhaps someone could try it again? i think it's causing serious confusion, as someone has already created a duplicate edition of the anthology, which has been shelved over 500 times. Hopefully that can just be made into the kindle edition or something once it's finally released.

If the stupid bug still prevents deletion, is there a way for a Goodreads employee to manually set the default edition to the anthology instead? Olivia Cunning is a GR author, but I don't get the idea she's a regular user.

That book is one of three (unrelated books) that WILL NOT delete. Someone is looking into it.

Meanwhile, setting the anthology manually as primary seems reasonable. Done.

Oh, sorry! The real version is by E. Lee and C. Quinn. This got added by mistake. They don't want both versions up there. :o)
