Lists in Need of TLC

[Holly]

Isn't it annoying when your carefully-crafted Listopia gets spammed up with books that don't fit your lists' criteria? If you're a site librarian (to find out how to become a site librarian, visit here), it's easy to clean up a list. If you aren't, however, there's not much you can do. You can report your list if you see an egregious breach of the site's terms (say, the same 50 suspicious people voting the same self-published book to the top of hundreds of lists), but most of the time you don't need to do that. Post in this thread to find a site librarian who can help you clear up your list :]

Please include a link to your list and the names of the books that don't fit the list's criteria. Thank you!

When you have a book that is multi-genre attraction, how do you add it to the various lists? The Accidental Wife by Cj Fosdick is a time travel, historical mainstream, romance with elements of humor and mystery. http://www.cjfosdick.com

Hi, I'm a site librarian. If anyone notices a list that has books on it which are completely off-topic, please let me know.

I found an author and book today on one of my lists inappropriately. It was one of those 68 ratings with 37 reviews and 37 votes on each list that it was on with suspiciously similar profiles on most of the 37.

I removed it from my list. I removed it from another list that I helped maintain. I added it and two others of the author's books to an appropriate list Unknown books on more than 60 Goodreads Lists. I reported the author to goodreads.

Any other thoughts on what to do? In the past when I've reported these kind of things, I've had pretty much nothing happen. Most people don't create listopia lists with an eye to avoiding inappropriate postings.

A call out for assistance maintaining comprehensive lists in general and my comprehensive lists in specific. Having only 100 votes means either splitting lists or getting help by other librarians.

I could especially use help with https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/79318.Popular_Fantasy_on_Goodreads_with_between_100_and_999_ratings
and
