Hello! Having a little trouble with this quote. It's from The Old Curiosity Shop, but whenever I submit it, the book doesn't appear - it's only attributed to Boz himself. Is it possible for someone to edit this for me, just so it stops driving me mad?

Appreciate your time.

Done.

The options for the name of the book should appear after you type in the author name.

If this doesn't happen for you, you can report as a bug in the new help area or use the Contact Us link at the top of this group. :)

Could you please delete it? It hurts my eyes with all these extra spaces.

#920 I have edited it to include spaces only between the paragraphs.

I had some trouble adding a quote from Red Sister by Mark Lawrence because even after clicking "add a quote" on the site with all of the Red Sister quotes it wouldn't automatically fill in the author and the book.. I then tried to add the quote via this site, which - as you can see - works in terms of automatically filling in the right author but the quote is still linked to the faulty one..

Here's the quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1008...

Thanks for your help!

#992 Fixed: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1008...

When there are multiple authors with the same name, GR uses one or more extra spaces between first and last name in the author name. This Mark Lawrence has 2 spaces. Choosing the right author will show the book in the dropdown menu.
Unfortunately this is not obvious when adding a quote.

Thank you! Yes, I became aware of the extra spaces in the URL here: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/new?...
It's unfortunately not very user-friendly and I think it also creates more work for Goodreads Librarians..

You can suggest improvement to GR Support: https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

It's a quick fix for a Librarian, so don't worry about that. Thank you for reporting it.

[chan]

Good idea!

... until then I already have another request 🙈 Could you please link this quote (https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1008...) to The Priory of the Orange Tree? I don't know what happened, but my selection was deleted upon adding the quote.

I accidentally added a quote that needs to be fixed. Could you please remove this quote starting with “On the scale of our human history, rituals like putting up Christmas trees, lighting menorahs, reading Hafiz, and baking rice dumplings are new. "

#928-929 We prefer to edit quotes rather than delete them. What should the quotes say? Or did you already create a new one?

Could you please change a word 'Поадрунки' for a word 'Подарунки' in the quote https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8...

I unintentionally chose a wrong book for a quote. Could you please change The Shadow of the Wind for The Angel's Game.
Thank you

Tamara, please check it now.

[Marchesa]

Can you please delete the last two quotes on this page?

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

They are both wrong (The first one is obviously incorrect and The second one is like 7 quotes accidentally rolled into one)

[Emily]

#940 Marchesa, I have deleted those two. I accidentally deleted a different one, so I re-added it.

[Marchesa]

Thank you so much Emily!!! I added part of my Daily List in one of my quotes by accident (I copy/pasted) haha So I'm grateful you are here to help!

Deeply appreciative,

Marchesa

[Emily]

Marchesa, you're welcome! Hope you get everything done! :-)

[Marchesa]

Thank you Emily! Still learning about the "Goodreads" setup process (and apparently still learning how to copy/paste haha) but I'm truckin' along. Let me know what you think of Gladwell's new book!

Hello fellow librarians,
I can't find a single source if this quote really belongs to Yasar Kemal. Also, considering his syntax, it doesn't sound like something he'd write and the quote is too banal to be honest. I am sure that it is not his but I can't delete it since it has too many likes. But someone should be able to delete it.

[A Broken Zebra]

Please remove: This isn't an actual quote from the artist (Prince) and is, instead, the submitter's snarky response their death (and its outcomes).

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7616...

[Emily]

#947 This seems more like a "common saying" than an actual quote from anyone; I agree with you. It will disappear soon.

#948 That was an unfortunate response. I have deleted it.

Hello. Today I tried to post a Josh Gondelman quote. The same quote accidentally got posted three separate times, sorry about that.

Could a Librarian please delete the first two iterations of the quote? (That would be the one about Lord of the Flies with *two* periods at the end by mistake, and the one that does NOT conclude with the additional sentence about reading being taboo and adult without breaking any rules.) Thanks!

“Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice.”

― Fromm, Eric, The Art of Loving

I cannot find this quote in Fromm's The Art of Loving—it should be deleted.

Can you please fix this quote I added by Eudora Welty. I deleted the quote and edited the word "appeared" and it still came out wrong. I am sure I checked it, though. Thank you!

[Arenda]

#957 corrected the word to "appeared"

Someone has deleted their post.

#956 Deleted a random praise quote
#957 Deleted obvious ad

#958 Not sure

#959 Has nothing to do with the author or book; ad deleted

This looks to be a fake quote, please remove.

Please correct this quote: "by" should be "but"
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/sear...

"And it is very odd by those who see the changes--"

should be

"And it is very odd but those who see the changes--"

Thanks

Please edit this quote:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/15252

This is a widely spread misquote of the line "What did my fingers do before they held him?" from "Three Women: A Poem for Three Voices". You can check the quote in google books.

And please add "The Collected Poems" as the source.

Thank you!

Hello, can you please make the following changes to this quote:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1016...

In paragraph 5, the second sentence needs a period at the end of it and not a comma.

In paragraph 5, the sixth sentence needs to read like this: "we got the take" instead of "we got to take".

Thank you!

Hi, I have a couple of quotes to delete/fix. My assistant ran my page and in some instances misquoted me. Some quotes are riddled with grammatical errors. How do I do this?
