Found with publisher as author. I fixed that and separated equivalent from book listing. I combined those two. Please merge, then recombine.

Z-squared | 8575 comments re 675, i tried my hardest to figure out what you needed merged, and in a couple cases i think i got it. but the hardcover eds totally throw me. has someone else been working on this? anyway, i would suggest reposting your request(s) separately and phrased so even an idiot like me can figure it out. i.e., "merge x(link) and y(link)".

Thanks! :)


message 711: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments 688 done. the boxed set was merged into the trilogy set, which was the closest thing extant. i didn't want to just delete it, given the number of people who had shelved it.

693, they look like totally different editions to me. different covers, languages... why do you want these merged?
694 done
695 done, and no, that isbn is not valid. but a cursory check on google and at the other editions on GR doesn't tell me what the right ISBN should be. if you figure it out, post it here (unless you can fix it yourself, of course)
696, 697 done
698 merged with the boxed set, not into book 1


message 714: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments 699 and 700 done, but please, please, please separate the editions you want merged from the rest. that is SUPER important when merging editions of such popular books. i had to really hunt for these two merges.

i see 701 and your remaining requests have the same problem. im going cross-eyed on these and am tapping out. maybe someone else has more patience for the rest. :P

That is REALLY frustrating because I separated all editions for merge requests, except where denoted with "to the main edition." Does your finding that the editions were not separated mean that my separate request failed or that another librarian merged before you saw the records?

Edited to add: It looks like Beth combined the editions before you responded to my requests. How can this be made less confusing for librarians and super-librarians?


message 716: by Emy (last edited Apr 20, 2014 06:03PM) (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Not sure, but just to be on the safe side Barth, before being able to do merges myself, I would put a librarian note on the separated versions saying Separated pending Superlibrarian merge. Please do not recombine onto the BAD edition (so that once it's merged the note vanishes :)

Not a perfect solution, but it reduces the chances of accidental "helping"...


message 717: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments yeah, sorry barth. emy's suggestion is really the best. it happens a LOT when trying to delete dupes of really popular books.


message 718: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments argh. i feel so bad about the amount of work you did i went back and did 701 anyway :P


message 719: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments 702 done
703 done, although it's not necessary to separate a book for deletion if it's going to be merged into the main edition anyway.

Thanks to Emy and Z-squared. I'll follow this instruction.

Empress (the_empress) I am not sure if this has any text:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
http://www.amazon.com/Game-Thrones-Di...

All of these are toys (nab or delete): https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Board and other games:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Wall calendars: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

coaster: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
magnets: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Embroidered Patch: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

P.S. As items with less ratings I can also NAB or DELETE. Which is the preferred action for toys and calendars, or should I leave it for yo guys?


message 728: by Empress (new)

Empress (the_empress) Please merge into this

The books are 5 but one is split in two parts. Seems the most accurate edition to merge into.


message 729: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments Started on 741. Will come back later. Or someone else can finish.

If a non-book has no ratings the easiest way to handle is to mark it not a book using the link on the edit page; just under the 'upload an ebook button. If you delete a book with an isbn number you should manually add it back with its isbn and mark it as not a book otherwise it will reimport.

Philip Reschke (philipreschke) Stock Market Edges exists in two identical Amazon Kindle Editions. Please delete the duplicate. See below.

Delete this (does not have an ASIN as the one above):

Hello,

There was a spelling error on an entry for Fired Up for the Author. I have fixed the spelling error, and combined the two MMP editions in prep for Merge, but I cannot delete the the incorrect book as it has 11 reviews instead of 5. Once the deletion occurs, the Paperback edition will need to recombined with the master Edition book.

Delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
True MMP Edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
Full Work with mutltiple edition for Recombine: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

Thank you in advance.

message 744: by [deleted user] (new)

from the description you can see this ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... )is a listing for a short story from another book

merge with this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I need these 2 books of mine, I Surrender and Surrender to Me deleted immediately as the rights have been turned back over to me as my contract with my publishers have ended. They have requested all artwork, reviews etc linked to them be deleted immediately.

I have left a note on my author dashboard and also emailed the librarians, but have heard nothing back.

I will be self publishing these books, so are you able to leave the listing still there, just remove artwork, reviews, ratings and any purchase links as these are now obsolete.

Thank you so much for your time.


message 749: by dely (new)

dely | 127 comments This edition has a wrong isbn https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... and should be merged with the edition with the right data: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

and then combined with the other editions: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


message 750: by Empress (last edited Apr 22, 2014 03:21AM) (new)

Empress (the_empress) I think this is a valid bundle. Seems those books were printed and sold by doubles: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Could someone tell me if those should be treated like box sets or should they be merged? Here is some info at wiki.
