Kasia Merci!


message 769: by Alycia (new)

Alycia Please delete The Bronze Horseman
I corrected the information and by taking the #1 out, I was able to combine this reprint with other versions. However, this poorly made addition I cannot delete since there are 16 reviews (more than the allowed 5 to delete). This is creating some confusion for other readers.


message 770: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments I combined that with its proper edition and deleted it, Alycia.

Thank you so much Cait.

Jesse Dixon | 24 comments These need a super librarian to delete.
A super could look at the user who created them because it looks like it could be a spam account.

Ralph Gallagher | 200 comments I'm pretty sure these should be deleted. I haven't found anything that's confirming these are going to be actual books. Her site doesn't list anything about these sequels and neither does Amazon/ISBNDB/WorldCat. Looks to my like some eager fan made these up. Heck, "The Seeker's" description lists it as a "potential sequel."

I love how they both have RATINGS already!

However, there is some proof (MTV interview), so I think they should NOT be deleted.

But she says "It's a possibility." Wouldn't it make sense to add these when it's actually confirmed? Even she doesn't know if there are going to be sequels - or if those will be the names. (Publishers are notorious for changing titles.)

If/when they're confirmed, these records can be edited to reflect the final information or merged into publisher-provided records. Either way will preserve these users' initial interest in these books.

Ralph Gallagher | 200 comments Please delete this edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/64...

The book already has the correct edition listed.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Ralph, Thanks, It's gone.


message 782: by g026r (new)

g026r | 2 comments This edition should probably be deleted, as it's got fewer reviews than the other entry for the exact same edition:

Done, after copying the description to the edition that was kept so it wouldn't be lost.

FYI, it doesn't matter which edition has more reviews; as long as they're combined, all of the reviews will shift to the one that isn't deleted. All of the information on the deleted edition will be lost, though, so one edition needs to have all of the info set before the other is deleted.

That wouldn't be deleted, it gets Not-A-Booked.

message 790: by Plch (new)

Plch | 81 comments Superlibrarian needed:
There is a big mess around
Terry Pratchett's Men at Arms (The Play)
by Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs (adapter) which was combined with the original Men at Arms: I separated them but it was a mistake because most of comments on the original book were under this edition, it should be combined back (I can do that) and then it should be deleted by a superlibrarian (another librarian already prepared a new book with the correct isbn).

Next time, when a book has a note like that, please do NOT separate them.

Cait, I recombined, but I'm not sure I got the right one. Can you please check?


message 792: by Plch (new)

Plch | 81 comments I know, unfortunately the note appeared just in the edit and combining pages, *not* in the page for separating different editions of the same book. I am usually quite careful... at least I hope so.
You have correctly combined the two plays BUT there is the problems of the comments about men at arms that stayed there ... I guess everything should be done again... sorry again.

No, I looked through the reviews and all that I could see were for the novel, not the play, so it needs to be merged into the novel.

Details here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2...


message 794: by Plch (new)

Plch | 81 comments thank you, I'm very sorry for the mess I made just because today I happened to check my Terry Pratchett's edition...

:) Well, at least you checked it, Plch, unlike approximately four thousand people who had the play shelved as the novel!

Including some friends of mine (for shame)!

Also, Plch, you left a note. Which makes a BIG difference. No ashes necessary.


JG (Introverted Reader) | 487 comments Please delete. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/74...

I'm pretty sure this one can be deleted and then re-combined. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75...
