Aliens: All Creatures Great and Small - Merged a duplicate Kindle edition. Added missing ISBN to ebook from publisher page.
Aliens: The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku - Merged a duplicate Kindle edition. Added ebook from publisher.
Aliens: The Face of Evil - Merged a duplicate Kindle edition. Added missing ISBN to ebook from publisher page.
Aliens: High Noon on Jakku - Separated Kindle and ebook editions. Merged a duplicate Kindle and a duplicate ebook edition. Added missing ISBN to ebook from publisher page and combined them both.
Corrected page counts, descriptions and titles based on info from publisher and Amazon for above books.
Fullmetal Alchemist Vol. 1-3: Added translator for French edition from Amazon. Merged duplicate English paperback and recombined with the French edition.
Love★Com, Vol. 3 - More than 1000 users shelved it (2316) and hence it cannot be merged. Will have to wait till merge functionality is fully up.
Love★Com, Vol. 4 - Merged blank edition into default, which had identical cover

#74 - Done
#75 - Merged the first link into second. On closer look, the duplicate had bad ISBN 9771471743 which is similar to 9771471473 (correct ISBN). We'll now have to merge this into this. This will have to wait as the duplicate is shelved by more than 1000 users (3809). Once done, it will have to recombined with this which I separated before the merges.
#76-77 - Combined the editions.
#78 - Your link is a valid edition as it has ISBN attached to it, the one with the cover (which I combined now) is a duplicate. Mademoiselle, if the existing edition is missing any info - cover image, in this case - please post in this group instead of creating a duplicate edition. It's easier for the librarians to add missing info rather than transferring the info and deleting the duplicate :)
#79 - If you are referring to two editions - one with ISBN 9781492473824 and the other with ISBN 9781492444442 - then they cannot be deleted as they both seem valid ISBNs (though I'm not able to locate the books anywhere else).
#80 - I see a duplicate because the paperback with ISBN13 9780692507254 has incorrect ISBN10 0692507254. The correct ISBN10 0692507256 went to the other book. One of these two will be deleted but we don't want to do it now as it may cause problems with the Giveaway. Please remind us after the Giveaway ends and we can delete the duplicate.
#81 - Done
#82 - No problem, Steve. I combined your edition with the correct edition and then merged the duplicate. Added you as contributor and it now shows up on your profile. If you can share details of other contributors (preferably in another new thread instead of this one), we can add those details too :)
#83 - Covers are different. One has Underground Sorority Book 2 on it while the other one doesn't. I don't see any cover/ISBN changes. The "duplicate" was created on 20th Sep, which was pre-publication. Maybe it was used on ARCs but I can't know for sure. I marked it as ACE without noting anything about ARC in the edition field. Recombined.
#84 - Position of pixie's arms (in Ella's palm) are different between the covers. Pixie is folding hands in one and have them wide in the other. Should be marked as ACE. This is like playing "find 6 differences between these two identical pics" :)
Edit: Someone else already marked the no-ISBN edition as ACE in librarian note. I should have checked that first :|
Edit2: Found a different cover on Amazon for this ISBN. Added another ACE here
#85 - Corrected title as per GR format and combined with other editions.

The links are not working, probably because they were copied from another post.
Please start a new thread if there is a book that should be moved from your profile.

Please separate both editions that need merging.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Please merge the above one with;
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
(though I suppose the latter is the copy, but it has a cover... so, could also just move the cover to the lower numbered one.)

It was added with no details, and I can find no evidence it was ever published in HC; in fact, the author's pages states it was "shortlisted for Best Paperback Original in the Barry Awards 2016."

Thanks a bunch!

There are only two editions (unless they were separated out later, but I can't tell from the log).

I had to separate these, and also others from the same user.
(These are still separated because there are too many ratings to merge them.) see also #97 and #110

How strange that it didn't show up in the changelog, or am I mistaken and are separations never visible? *wanders off in confusion*

It is in the changelog for the other editions: https://www.goodreads.com/book/edits/...

Ah, of course. Time for me to go to bed, I obviously can't think clearly anymore :)

Thanks, I'll try to remember to separate the editions in the future. That's the one step I tend to forget.

Why? You appear to correctly be listed as their translator.

#67 is still in limbo :)

Sorry, Mademoiselle. Could you please go ahead and mark the stray as ACE for B002RI98XS and recombine with other editions please? GR is currently too slow for me #thirdworldproblems

Absolutely- thanks :)
Edit: Or, maybe later...I've marked the ACE, but combine still disabled for this title as it must have over 1,000 shelvings. I'll make a note to recombine when this is enabled again.

As the default edition is the one that needs merging here, I'm not sure if this needs to be separated? How do we generally handle separating when the default is the one to be merged? Would I just pick any edition with the same cover?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, yes. Please read the first post of this thread to understand its sole purpose :)
This is exactly why I believe all Listopia list and group creators should be able to edit their own lists/groups without needing help!
You can always post your views in Goodreads Feedback group for any issues related to policy as librarians cannot help you :)

If the default is not separated and merged right away, I believe the ratings and reviews are shifted to the next most rated edition which can lead to Hardcover reviews going to Kindle, etc. It is always better to find the mostly likely edition it needs to be merged with - based on format, publication year, covers, etc - and separate them both before merging. IMO, of course :)
