Irene Westminster (irenedewestminster) | 4 comments Hello, a couple of minutes ago I've asked to delete a duplicate of the book "Mal de Ojo", by Malala Macaroni (autor) and Irene de Westminster (editor) which was done. Thanks! Unfortunately, I've disappeared as editor in the edition that remained. Please add me again, this book belongs to my author's bookshelf! Thanks and regards.

Jessica (jessicajames) | 10 comments Please DELETE the erotic books from under my author name.
This is really time-consuming for me every couple of weeks. I'm not sure it's worthy having an author page when my name is continually linked to these books.
Thank you for your help.

524 Moved the books from your profile. Currently your profile is the first profile, but you can ask the staff to move your profile so you're no longer the first profile for this name. (Although that will mean that imports will put any new books by you on the other profile, so librarians need to move them in the same way we now move these books away from your profile.)

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments 527, 528, 532, 534 - Didn't work for me too. Looking at the ratings on the book page and in combine page, it seems as if the stray was not fully separated (is that possible?). Shall we try to combine with the other editions, give it an hour for ratings to consolidate, separate the two editions again, give it another couple of hrs and then try merging?

530 - same as above. Weirdly, this stray got merged after an hour. Re-combined with other editions.

Got 531, someone else got 533.

Claudia | 4 comments Please, can someone delete this book? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
This book is mine, but it is assign to an other writer who have my same name. Farther, I haven't finished it yet, and I don't know if I can finish it. So, please, delete the book.

I've deleted it several times and it says it's been deleted, but there it sits. And the change log does not acknowledge the deletions.


message 530: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments Michael wrote: "Weirdly, this stray got merged after an hour. "

That is quite normal for a book with more than a few ratings.

Melody wrote: "I've deleted it several times and it says it's been deleted, but there it sits. And the change log does not acknowledge the deletions. "

It usually says something like: scheduled for deletion / will be deleted shortly. For books with a couple of hundreds or thousands ratings/shelvings, it can take a few hours before the merge goes through. When the merging is done, it will show in the changelog.

message 532: by Pia (new)

Pia | 58 comments Hi,
Can you help me merge/delete/combine this book?

It's been added several times

Murder at the Manor: Country House Mysteries

Murder at the Manor: A British Library Crime Classic

Murder at the Manor: Country House Mysteries

I have this book and I believe the right info is the following:

Murder at the Manor: Country House Mysteries
Edited by Martin Edwards

The series is: British Library Crime Classics # 14, but I couldn't find other books in the series

Thanks!

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Melody wrote: "19 hours?"

is not normal,

Generally though we are not supposed to keep trying to delete once the initial request has been done.

This one should be left for rivka to take to the dev's to sort out.

EsteeDarla | 1 comments Unauthorized, inaccurate, and misleading information on Prodigy Hustler book that’s up on site https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
The real author and the real cover of the book along with details can be found at
http://www.prodigyhustler.com/
Can someone remove the false listing.

There are 6 copies of the ebook published June 11th 2003 by Hyperion. Because of the number of reviews, I can't fix this.

There are also 2 audio books dated June 10th 2004 by Brilliance Audio, and a July 10th for the same edition.

#549 Goodreads does not delete books that are no longer available. That edition is on Worldcat: http://www.worldcat.org/title/prodigy...
Added a new edition with the cover from the link you provided: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
#551 all editions have an isbn/ASIN. All are valid edition, no merging/deleting needed.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #554 - Moved, but in the future please post this to a new thread, since this thread is for delete/merge not for moving books off of a profile. Any librarian could have done this work.
