I've noticed that some books on kindle do this strange thing when you copy a quote - can you remove the "nance," (look for "governance, nance,") in this quote:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7643...

#2 Removed extra word "nance"

I just added a quote with a small mistake. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... It should be "to be a soldier" not "to be soldier". If you can fix this I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this person meets Goodreads's notability guidelines:
"Only enter quotes from notable people. Generally, a person is notable if they have been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject."

ETA It's apparently from a song/rap of his: http://testicanzoni.mtv.it/testi-Jin_...
Song lyrics are not allowed, see f.e.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... (801 and 803), and
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... (810)

Deleted.

[Azniv]

Oh, I see. Thanks. I will read the links you provided. I'm sorry for the mistake.

[lethe]

Since song lyrics are not allowed (see links I posted in msg #5), I supposed that also counts for Bob Dylan? (Even when the lyrics were published in a book: Lyrics: 1962-2001?)

F.e.:
From "The Times, They Are A-Changin'": https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1467...

From "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall": https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1920...

From "Talkin' World War III Blues": https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/2958... (but also from the above-linked book)

Can/should they be deleted? And how many likes must a quote have to need deletion by a super?

[Abcdarian]

I'd guess Dylan is pretty notable. He is a writer & lots of books have been written about him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dyl...

(Just imho.)

Yes, of course he's notable, but if song lyrics are not allowed then neither should his, I think. Unless published collections of lyrics are an exception (personally, I think it's a thin line between lyrics and poetry, see also Leonard Cohen f.e.).

I guess I'm just struggling with what is and isn't allowed as a quote. Maybe I should just steer clear, as I usually do with quote issues :-)

Could a super please edit the punctuations on this Tolkien quote please:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/3741...

According to this edition in front of me: The Lord of the Rings it should be written:

I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.

If you need to check, it's on page 1068 in my edition, and would probably be the penultimate or last page of most editions LoTR or The Return of the King. Thanks :-)

EDIT: Also, it should be assigned to an appropriate work: Either The Lord of the Rings, or The Return of the King.

Done.

The punctuation is interesting but it is often forgotten that Tolkien was a total master of the English language.

Hello! I tried to add a quote but when I typed in the authors name his books weren't the same. If it isn't too much trouble could you change the source of the quote to John Stephens, The Fire Chronicles? Thank you!

Dear Banjomike,

Thank you for taking the time to review and to edit these quotes. I am sincerely appreciative of your time and consideration.

Thank you, Arenda!

For whom it may concern only one more:
I have a big problem with the quote

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7662...

I needed to correct it and I tried "remove" it and then "add" the correct one. It did not work :(

So, please, bear with me and help restore it neatly, as follows.

The text of the quote should be:

De ce să presupunem... că bandele și tipurile de întovărășire, de asociere, reprezintă un stadiu mai rudimentar, ca evoluție, decât societățile bazate pe grupuri și pe conjugalitate? Nu numai că există bande de oameni, dar unele dintre ele sunt extraordinar de rafinate: “mondenitatea” se deosebește de “socialitate” pentru că este mai apropiată de o haită, iar omul social are despre cel monden o anumită imagine invidioasă și eronată pentru că nu cunoaște pozițiile și ierarhiile proprii acesteia, raporturile ei de forță, ambițiile și proiectele ei extrem de speciale. Relațiile mondene nu acoperă niciodată relațiile sociale, nu coincid cu ele.(Gilles Deleuze și Félix Guattari)

The author should be:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

(The tags are correct.)


Thanks,
Olea

Hi … Please change the second paragraph of this quote:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7574...

From:
People ask, "So, vandalism isn't wrong? Killing isn't wrong?" I answer, "Uneducated people say that vandalism is wrong. Educated people say that vandalism destroys the things that many people have spent their lives making. Uneducated people say that killing is wrong. Educated people say that killing takes away the only thing that matters which is lives." The more educated people are, the freer they will be, and the words 'right or wrong' won't be needed anymore.

Hi there. Have a quote that needs 2 quick fixes.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7672583

The word "payses" needs to be corrected to "pauses". Additionally, the author is listed as Amy Kaufman, but it should be Amy Kaufman & Jay Kristoff for the same book, Illuminae.
Thanks in advance!

[Abcdarian]

#30 Done.

#31: Correction made. I'm not sure if two authors can be listed in a quote; leaving for someone who may know.

Unfortunately not.

[Andreas]

My paper that proves that right and wrong is nonexistent has been rejected by the philosophical journals of Columbia University and Duke University.

I wrote that social sciences and the concept of money rely on the future (something that doesn't exist), and therefore is NOT science, is NOT RIGHT, and should be erased.

Let's spice things up a bit for these so-called geniuses :).

Please change the sixth paragraph of this quote:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7574...

From:
There is, however, a problem with how many educated people there are in the world. In my paper, I prove that right and wrong is nonexistent by showing that everything that exists is not wrong and is not right because everything that exists is the result of the thing(s) that happened before it and everything that exists can’t be right because future doesn’t exist. I wrote that terrorism is caused by capitalism (democracy) and capitalism (democracy) is caused by death.

I added a quote but accidentally linked it to the wrong book in a series.
The quote:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7675...
The book it should be linked to:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
And is there any way to have it linked with the English translation title? "Blood of Elves" is the English title.
And if someone could tell me how to select the English title in future quotes that would be helpful. When I'm selecting books for this author it only lists titles in Polish.

Edited.

The titles of the books in the list are the most popular editions of each book so Krew elfów wins over Blood of Elves or Das Erbe der Elfen. By the same reasoning there is no way to pick a specfic edition or language.

[Alex]

Thanks for the help! It's strange though, because when I look at all the quotes for the book (see link below), it lists some with Polish title and some with the English title.

Could you please edit this quote? https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7675...

I just finished separating the books of author "Emma Wagner", so there are two profiles now:

- https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (romance author)
- https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (non-fiction translator)

Could anyone move the quotes from "1305773.Emma_Wagner" to "15306411.Emma_Wagner"?

That way it should be completely separated.
Thanks in advance!
