Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Wow. Gone, gone, gone.


message 1202: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Does anyone want to work on this adder? There's some stuff in here that doesn't look legitimate (ie, camera instruction manuals?)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments I got the book edition,

but not the adder in Jessica's message 1223, at least not today.

Jessica | 963 comments LOL, I guess we are both not feeling very brave tonight!

True on my end too, yes.

Merged with another volume (picked a volume of her poems that looked likely).

Ok, got the one in 1207 too. Working on the adder, with the melange of ok no-ISBN books and not-ok.

Ok, someone is taking legitimate no-ISBN books from this user and changing the authors to "Delete". Unless you know for sure that the book does not exist, it should not be getting deleted. And even in that case, changing the author like that is not helpful.

I think I got all his non-legit no-ISBN books. He had a lot of legit ones -- small-press books, duplicate ISBN editions with new covers, foreign books with no ISBN -- that I hope have not been deleted.


message 1212: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Got them.

I only deleted the one (which was how I found him) on a duplicate edition that was already merged. Someone put "Delete" as the author?


message 1214: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Yup. Looked like as a way to get around the not being a super and deleting uncombined books thing.


message 1215: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Oh boy. You can check the edits though, right? And see what the original author was?


message 1216: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
For the ones that hadn't already been deleted, I did that.


message 1217: by Becky (new)

Becky (beckyofthe19and9) Please delete: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77...

It's saying that a super-librarian needs to do it. This is the second time that this user has added this book.

Thanks!

Got it.


message 1219: by Becky (new)

Thanks Lisa :)

Chichipio | 34 comments Placeholder:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63...

It's already combined with the correct edition and separated from the rest. After deletion, please recombine with the others. I don't know whether separating these two editions was necessary or not. If I just complicated things, let me know.


message 1229: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Got both.


Chichipio, it looks like separating them out was a good idea. I think otherwise the ratings/shelvings would have migrated to the coverless edition, rather than the one with the matching cover.


message 1231: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments got it

Sab H. (YA Bliss) (sabh) | 12 comments I have merged or combined two books into one but both had too many reviews for me to delete.

Sab H. (YA Bliss) (sabh) | 12 comments I cant seem to combine or delete this:

Someone has combined it. Why would it get deleted? It seems to have a valid ISBN.


message 1241: by vicki_girl (last edited Mar 19, 2010 09:19AM) (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments You couldn't combine because there are two "Michael Grant"'s. The GR author has an extra space between his first and last name to separate him from the other Michael Grant. I added the extra space and combined the books.

I did not however, delete the book. It has a unique ISBN and therefore it stays.


message 1242: by Sab H. (new)

Sab H. (YA Bliss) (sabh) | 12 comments Oh, okay. Awesome! Thanks!


message 1243: by Abi (new)

Abi | 42 comments This book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37..., entered without an ISBN and added by a Goodreads user, is, I believe, just a duplicate of this: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/94...

Could it be merged with the version that has all the correct data?


message 1244: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Got it. Next time, it would be helpful if you separated out the two specific editions that need merging. :)


message 1245: by Abi (new)

Abi | 42 comments Oh, OK, sorry.


message 1246: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
No worries. :)


message 1247: by Theda (new)

Theda | 6 comments Could a super-moderator delete this:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...

Apart from the title being wrong it doesn't have any additional information about the edition.


message 1249: by Theda (new)

Theda | 6 comments Thanks!
