message 1: by Pio (new) - rated it 5 stars

Pio (pioismyname) | 5 comments There's a Vietnamese version of this book, the link is here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2....

The matter is the Vietnamese version includes two volumes of Jen Campbell's series (Weird Things and More Weird Things), so I've added another one, the link is: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3....

I'd like to delete the former one since it's wrongly located, yet it's only done by a superlibrarian. Could you please delete it to make sure that people find the right book?

lethe | 16359 comments If I understand you correctly, the only thing wrong with the first book is that it's combined with Vol. 1. Why did you add a new book instead of separating the first book from the others? A lot simpler than having to separate the first book, combine it with the version you added and then delete it.

ETA Looking at the changelog, I see you moved the ISBN to the edition you added. You should *never* do that.
(Also, the Vietnamese edition was not added by a super, not that it matters much.)

Oh I don't know that. I'm really sorry about making things more complicated. I'll keep it in mind, thanks :D

Think Pio meant he cannot delete the former edition as it has too many shelvings and hence can be deleted only by a super-librarian.

I think so, since there's a notification informing me that I can't delete that edition because of too many shelvings. Anyway, this problem has been recently solved. What a relief!

Ah, OK. Slight misunderstanding there. Glad it's solved now :)
