https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Hello. These editions are the same: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...The default edition's cover image is the cover image for one of the chapters that was serialized in a magazine, so please use the cover image and information from the non-default edition.
145- I left 2 of those because they had is not numbers listed. Got 146, 147 and 149
#98 has been skipped in the flurry of catching up with deletions, too ;)

The system says that "in some minutes the edition will be erased" but it has not, never. So I have asked you to do it. There should be only one of them.
Thank you

I am not a translator. I don't even speak German. I am a poet. The only books I've written are The global conspiracy to get you in bed and Dinner Table Refuge. Please remove the books as I have requested.
Please merge Kindle stray https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and recombine and also merge this stray https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...- with default

#138/165 Your merge of two editions has gone through. See https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
There is only one edition left there.

Please merge this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and then recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... ETA The default edition is the one to be merged (deleted), so I picked the most likely edition it should be merged with. Let me know if this is incorrect.
Thank you!

Cassandra wrote: "Philip wrote: "#98/164/171 - Leaving alone, because until Amazon and the other site get updated the books would just get re-imported, and since they could be valid ISBNs for future books, I do not ..."I would re-combine for now.
#170 -
#172 - Please don't delete/modify information on books before submitting requests.1) Another librarian has reverted your ISBN removal, ISBN on the one edition may be a shortened ISBN13, but being that one edition is listed as German and one as Persian, would make it so they do not get combined.

Are you sure? As per #154, I removed the book from listopia. As mentioned already, this is not the thread for such requests anyway.

Thanks.
I removed the ISBN because it is invalid. Those books had been published by Jami Publication (جامی), in Persian language.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
The above link has the correct ISBN but the edition language is wrong. I always correct these errors when merging process is done.
Thanks again.
Please merge this placeholder edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... into the actual edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...Thank you!
This is an utter mess:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
It's trying to be an edition of:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
195-196 Done (recombine is pending due to too many additions)
172/185/197 - Searching for 9647468490 (listed as German edition here) on worldcat brings up a Persian edition (link). Its corresponding ISBN13 is 9789647468497 which was added to the other edition in ISBN10 slot resulting in 9789647468. I'm inclined to move the cover from 9789647468 to 9647468490 and merge the duplicate, while adding the ISBN13 and translator names and also correcting language from German to Persian.
Will wait till someone else double checks my findings.
Hossein, we suggest not to remove invalid data before requesting for merge as it helps us identify the edition as duplicate. Without 9789647468, we wouldn't have known if it was a duplicate edition or just another edition missing valid details :)

Cannot merge now.

The reason in #185 for not merging being different languages seems not valid to me, as German is the original language of the book. The original language is regularly added (incorrectly) as edition language.

For the first link https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio..., the page count for one edition is almost doubled compared with the other. Not merged.
The other requests are done.
For https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... : kept the edition with the isbn, and updated it.
For next time, may I please ask you to either make separate posts for each request or number the requests when there are multiple requests in one post? It would make it easier to keep track which are done, and comment if necessary.

So in this case, I'm guessing I should separate the default edition (which only has a cover) and the MMP edition? It seems like the MMP would be the default over the ebook edition? Although I'm not really sure.
No one has added either of the editions that have a format listed (with the exception of me adding the MMP edition).
