Z-squared | 8575 comments re 361, merge pending. why wouldn't you be included in the author list? you are listed in the table of contents, which means by GR standards, you are an author.


message 356: by Kai (new)

Kai Weber (springday) | 14 comments I think, the following two books are identical:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The second one is the more complete data set, so the first one could be deleted. After deletion, please recombine with "The Magus" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...).

Best regards,
Kai

Hey Emy, I'm not sure what you mean. I didn't separate anything. I'm sorry, I'm just a noob.

Jessie, look at comment #1 in this thread and see if that helps some. Actually, it may not but you need to separate off the two identical books from the main group of books so that step is already done for the supers. They then have the two that get merged by themselves. All the info that was in the one you want "deleted" reviews, adds, etc. need to go somewhere so they go to the identical book before it's deleted. Then the supers recombine this merged edition back into the rest of the copies of that book.


message 367: by Jessie (new)

Jessie K. (jessinuae) | 10 comments Yes, it does! Thanks a lot! :)

Moloch | 3975 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

No details, so please merge into the most popular edition: the title is slightly different but it is very likely a mistake

message 374: by Jens (new)

Jens Walter (fuerstede) | 3 comments There are two identical entries, but one has the ISBN-10 and the other the ISBN-13 of the same book associated with them.

I added the back cover text to both of them before realizing that I was editing two entries instead of one.

are you mean that i should separate the edition which i want to delete before in post the link of it? like this:


duplicate edition, delete this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

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

___________________
it means that i should combine the duplicated editions, then i separate the editions which will be delete?, am i right?

thx

message 383: by [deleted user] (last edited May 29, 2014 07:30AM) (new)

I combined these but if you notice one is using ISBN10 and one is using ISBN13. I can't tell myself if they are actually the same exact book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

(nothing to recombine with)


message 384: by [deleted user] (last edited May 29, 2014 07:51AM) (new)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... (most popular edition but it has no information except publisher)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... this appears to be same book


message 385: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #392 - Marc, it is still a valid ASIN. Goodreads does not delete records which are / were for valid editions.

See here for more information.


message 386: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments رويس it means you separate off the duplicates with their target.

e.g. Looking at the Editions list, you see:
Book 1 - All correct
Book 4 - All correct
Book 5 - Duplicate of book #4

Go into the Combine page, find the book(s) then click on the separate tool. Find Book 4 and Book 5, and separate them off together.

Link both here. With non-Latin scripts, it's also helpful to tell us what it should be re-combined with after we've finished :)

Hope that helps

Merging truncated ISBN13 into complete version.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #398 - Marc, combining under first publication name. All subsequent editions will need to have both names on the Goodreads record.

I've also added the other editions as per your website.

it helps a lot, but there are something else.
- what i should do after separate the books which are Combined?
am i should but the links of the separate book and the original book? or what?

- if there are two editions or more are duplicated but they are not Combined, they are in separate links, what should i do?

- finally, are there any videos or photos explain these things? :)

André Caniato (vardamir) | 143 comments Duplicate edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I don't really know which of the two other editions are the correct for this one, but I think the most popular will do.

Z-squared | 8575 comments re 406, one of them was clearly a dupe. of the other two, they both have ISBNs. one of them i can find on Amazon. the other at least exists when i google it, so i'm inclined to think both are OK. i deleted the dupe and am in the process of recombining with the parent work.
