Got 560 - someone else must have gotten 558

No, somebody just recombined before a super-librarian could do what needed to be done - how do I apply for promotion to super-librarian (I am librarian already), then I could do that myself?

[Melody]

Your link does not work then. Will you put the link to the edition that needs to be deleted?

I'm not sure if there is a process. I was just contacted.

Thank you. Here we go again:

This is the "good one", this time not separated (sorry):

And this is the obsolete one, also not separated:

Thanks again.

Hello! I would like to delete this edition of this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

It was never released... the cover was a placeholder and not yet finalized. When the book did come out, it had this cover and this ISBN:

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

But 18489234 was never released anywhere. And now it's just taking up space on Goodreads. Thank you!

566:
Someone has rated an ARC version of that edition. If the ARC was released with that cover, then we do not delete it. It is then an ACE, but for an ARC.

#567 appears to have been done.

Have done #568.

anyone know if deletions are back to failing again? i have been waiting over an hour for a simple no-reviews dup del to go through...

[Cam]

Same ASIN# (The zero was replaced with the letter O in one edition).

#576 - ASIN in ISBN field merged and pending.

[Emy]

#577 one has a note from me. Trying to remember it now! Other is clearly an alternate cover.

Suspect there should be a number of ACEs here that aren't on. Will investigate later (have to pop out now!)

Emy, but the note refers to yet another edition (with in fact a different cover).

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... this one has the ASIN you mentioned in the notes and the white cover
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... this one is clearly an ACE of that ASIN, so that would stay
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... this one has no cover but the details are all the same as the one for the ACE, so I figured that it's a duplicate

Do coverless editions count as ACEs if they otherwise appear to be duplicates? Just so I know for the future. :)

I mistakenly created a duplicate in order to add a cover. Thank you!

There are two editions of the same book. Please delete the second one.

Wrong spelling of author (and Ripper is already correct in the files).

And same here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16... (first name/last name turnaround).

[Melody]

The two profiles for Isabel Allende need to be merged - so I requested that here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I fixed the second part.

[Giando]

The ARC that was rated did not have that cover. It had the new one, which I hadn't put up at Goodreads at the time. There has never ever existed a book with that cover, really. Please delete.

Though it has no ratings/reviews, I cannot delete this one:

It needed to be combined with another edition, its duplicate. I've deleted it but we'll see if the deletion goes through I guess.

[Tez]

Please delete this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The author has informed me that there will be no third book in this series, thus this page should be deleted.

Hi,

If this is correct policy? ...

This book is a free preview edition. I have combined it with the most popular actual edition. Could you please merge the preview into the actual?

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

Then, could you please re-combine the result with this work:

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

Thank you,

No, it isn't correct policy to merge a free preview edition with the full-length edition. Separating.

OK, thanks. Could you please point me to the rationale for this policy? A free preview edition (especially for an e-book) seems mainly like an advertisement for a real edition. I wasn't able to find more information about this policy directly.

This one does not have any ISBN or ASIN or any particular publisher. Should this be deleted or?

604 Done. Such editions without any information that makes them different from the other editions can indeed be merged into the other editions
