Kasia Can you delete this one http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...?

It's already combined with the proper one with an isbn and a cover...

Zing!


message 510: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Ok so what do we do if before the big B&N add ebooks were added to the system without ISBNs, but now their ISBN counterparts are up? This wouldn't count Kindle editions, since those are very specific, but as for the ones uploaded by B&N, they are using the generic ISBN for those ebook editions.

Should they be deleted then? If you need an example check it out here:

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments I'd say yes, delete those editions, as long as there's an identical edition with more information, which is the case with this book. Edit: Oh, and as long as you make sure to combine the editions that belong together before deleting. This one is ready to go.


message 512: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Thanks Lisa. That's what I thought, but I always like getting other opinions.

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
I agree with Lisa. In fact, I've deleted/merged several like that in the last couple weeks.


message 514: by Lobstergirl (new)

Lobstergirl My guess is this needs to be deleted?

NAB'd anyway. Got it.

Re the discussion of B&N & ISBNs above, are you referring to those ISBNs starting with 29.....?
If so I've seen quite a lot of them this week and would love to get rid of them.


message 517: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Got it.

Actually, we're talking about deleting the ebook listings with no ISBN in favor of the ones with them. ;)


message 518: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31494 comments OK, but what are those ones starting with 29.. and a lot of 000s in the middle(13 ISBNs)? They were ebooks too, I'm pretty sure. They just don't look like PROPER ISBNs.

and Thanks, Rivka.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments JG, Got it.

Sandra wrote: "They just don't look like PROPER ISBNs."

They're not. Nonetheless, they'll presumably reimport if deleted, and an ISBN that's in current use seems to be better than none.


message 522: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31494 comments Rivka, I've come across them when inputting the correct ISBN. So we have 2 editions ? for the same ebook but the only difference is the weird ISBN. I haven't deleted them or anything, just combined.


message 523: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Well, when there's a real ISBN I have sometimes experimented with deleting those editions and seeing if they reimport, which is variable. But I don't necessarily recommend trying this at home. ;)


message 524: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31494 comments Well if we decide to do something at a later stage some will be in my ebook shelf so relatively easy to find. I'd like to know where they are coming from and deliver a good swift kick if appropriate. :-)


message 525: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Those weird ISBNs are all B&N's fault, which is why they've just shown up recently.


message 526: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31494 comments Please delete these 2 duplicates I created by mistake (computer playing up)

Thanks


message 527: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Got 'em, Sandra.


message 528: by Lobstergirl (new)

Lobstergirl I really don't think this is a book....

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31...


message 529: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Lobstergirl, No, it's not. I either message the person (since it's just one in this case) or I combine it with a/the most popular work by that author and delete it. I think some simply delete.


message 530: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Actually, it was more than one. I'm in the "just delete" camp. The guidelines when creating a book are pretty clear.


message 531: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments This needs to be deleted:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...

Also, a super might want to check out her books. Her profile is set to private but there was another book by this author I deleted, so there might be more.


message 532: by rivka, Former Moderator (last edited Nov 22, 2009 07:37PM) (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Got it, and looking at her books.

They seem to be fine.


message 533: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Thanks!


message 534: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments This one also needs to be deleted. It looks like the user tried adding the ISBN but got the error message. I checked and there is an edition with the same (minus the dot) ISBN.

message 535: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Got it.


message 536: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31494 comments Please delete this listing with no info, I've already combined it.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71...


message 537: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Poof!


message 538: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31494 comments Thanks Rivka.

Please delete the following which I created by mistake:

message 539: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Got it.


message 540: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31494 comments Thanks again Rivka.


message 541: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Need a super to delete this user's entries:
http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/23...

I didn't want to combine them since there's really nothing to combine them to (except for one entry, which I got).

*pounds head on desk*

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
gone, gone, gone.

ZAP!


message 543: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments I hope that was a satisfying delete for you rivka :) Thanks!


message 544: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Pretty much. ;)


message 546: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments C, I've merged that into the other Hunger Games and deleted it.


message 547: by Cassie (new)

Cassie (cassielo) | 14 comments Thanks, I wasn't sure if I should have merged it or not.


message 548: by Cassie (new)

Cassie (cassielo) | 14 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51...

Sorry, I just deleted my post asking about this, but I'm confused. I assume this should be combined with the anthology and deleted?


message 549: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Yup.


message 550: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31494 comments Computer still playing up occasionally, please delete this duplicate I created by mistake.
