❃**✿【Yasmine】✿**❃ (yasmine27) | 8 comments Hi, could i librarian please remove a bunch of books from this list:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4...
I have commented on my list with all the books that need to be deleted from it. They are all out of date or out of genre.
I flagged it two months ago.
Thanks

Empress (the_empress) I cannot see the comment with the books that need removal, but if you are the creator you can remove then yourself. If you know how you will be able to react quicker and manage new lists: Click the little edit link that is just after the list description. On the edit page under the SAVE button there are two green links: check for duplicates & remove particular books



P.S. Flagging list will not help with removing books. It is if you object to a list and need it removed.

I really thought they could.

Oh I see it. Well that is a long list!!! Yasmine, start applying for a librarian! :D


If Yasmin adds the page number those books are on I will do it, but currently I have to repeat the title search for 5 pages.

EDIT: Currently clearing page 1

❃**✿【Yasmine】✿**❃ (yasmine27) | 8 comments Yeah I know I'd have to be a Librarian, i did apply lol.
When you click on the 'flag' to flag the list, it does have an 'incorrect book' option.
Yes there's a ridiculous amount of books that should not be on the list.
Where can i find the page number?


❃**✿【Yasmine】✿**❃ (yasmine27) | 8 comments Oh i see ok. I will do that, i'm short for time. I'll have to do it in the next 24hrs for you.

Empress (the_empress) I hate that after every book you remove it goes back to page 1!!!

I'll clear what I can now, as I have to go out shortly, but in future just stating page one: list of titles,
page two: list of titles would be nice, so that we know if we should look at page 1 or page 5. We do realize the books can move.


❃**✿【Yasmine】✿**❃ (yasmine27) | 8 comments Thanks. I'll do that. I'll check my other lists too.

❃**✿【Yasmine】✿**❃ (yasmine27) | 8 comments Thanks for doing that, i've re-checked all the books. This is what's left to take off the list:
(view spoiler)
I've numbered what i could, and the page details are there too.


message 12: by Empress (new)

Empress (the_empress) unnumbered because they all say '274' - that is probably because GR is still caching the list after removing the books.

Working on this!


message 13: by Empress (new)

Empress (the_empress) All done, Having the page they are on helped immensely. Thank you, I know it took some time.


❃**✿【Yasmine】✿**❃ (yasmine27) | 8 comments Thanks. It's a popular list. Annoys me when people fill them up with non-applicable books.

This list has not been maintained by the creator and has bloated to more than 9x its intended size. The list is supposed to only contain fifty books; they are the ones the list creator voted on:

The list needs some librarians to cull it, at which point it should probably be frozen.
