Evie (ocarina) | 139 comments Even though I have permissions to delete books, I'm not sure what should be done here. This book:

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

has 47 ratings and 9 reviews. But both title and author are misspelled, with the correct book being:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

There are several sites that translate Chinese series with the author's approval. Here are some examples of series that are separated in 100 chapter volumes:

Please delete this edition. It lacks all the details, and I have Added a new one with the needed details.

And this, as it is duplicated:

Arenda | 26447 comments #313 I found the matching edition that you added and updated the edition that was added earlier. Queued your edition for merging. Done. Is there an isbn on your edition?

Please: next time ask for the existing edition to be updated. Updating an existing edition takes a minute. No need to create an identical, updated edition.
Separating, deleting and recombining, especially for books with many shelvings, takes a lot of time.

Please delete these books:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The series is a Chinese web novel with over 3000+ chapters. If the series isn't separated in volumes by the author the general accepted practice is to separate it in volumes of 100 chapters, as I did here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Please delete the 40 chapter volumes.
Thanks.

Melanie (mvalente89) | 2198 comments Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Someone had added the book twice, once under each author. I corrected the entry under the first author (Anna Campbell) on the cover and the edition that was under just the second author (Tessa Dare) needs to be merged.

Delete both. Compare first ones ISBN with default one, the only difference is in last digit (capital letter vs. small one)

Please delete the first one (there is a mistake because of delited author). They have the same name "Все навколо зеленіє".


message 324: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #327 No delete, that is a valid paperback edition. It has been combined by another librarian when the author was fixed
#328 that first link is not accessible at the moment (unexpected error)
#329 No delete, covers are different (color of title)


message 328: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (mvalente89) | 2198 comments Please merge placeholder (which is the default) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... with the next most popular.

Rebecca Stevenson | 6 comments Can someone tell me how to remove a book from my author page? I didn't write it, and I don't know who put it there. Thank you. Rebecca Stevenson


message 330: by Bea (last edited Aug 01, 2016 07:02AM) (new)

Bea Please delete this book. It appears to be a duplicate as ISBN - ISBN13 are already taken - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6....

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...


message 331: by Bea (new)

Bea Please delete this book. It appears to be a duplicate as ISBN13 already exists and Barnes and Noble give this ISBN13 as the one for their Nook book - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1....

Please start a new thread, and include the title of the book, preferably a link to the book on Goodreads, that need moving.

Publisher says they originally registered it with LOC under a different title, but it was never printed. I corrected the title and combined it with the editions that actually did get published, but it should just be deleted. Thanks!

Chris Robb (chrisrobb) | 8 comments Hello,
Could you please remove Mass Participation Sports Events by Chris Robb from my author page please?
Doe that book also need "disassociating" somehow from my author profile, as he is not me and vice versa?
Many thanks,
Chris Robb (the real one)

This was an article (not a book) that someone evidently stole and Kindle-ized. It's been deleted by Amazon, and should be deleted here. Thanks!

Could we just delete it under the principle that it's not a book, so it shouldn't be on Goodreads, anyway?

Moved the book to a new author profile.

Please start a new thread next time when a book needs to be moved. Any librarian can move books to another author profile.

#348 not done. Publishers sometimes use the same isbn for different books.

Krazykiwi | 1767 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Not separated, to merge into default (there's no identifying info on this edition, I think it was a placeholder, and the book's only had one cover yet.)


message 347: by Krazykiwi (new)

Krazykiwi | 1767 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Ditto to #352 (although why a book would need two placeholders is anyone's guess)


message 348: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #352, 353 done (The link in 353 is for the hardcover edition with isbn. I found the other placeholder and merged it.)

Oh shoot. Thanks Arenda, sorry about that (I guess I had too many tabs open, and pasted the wrong one.)

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments This https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... has truncated ISBN for https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... ...however, someone gave it the UK cover rather than the US cover. Does it now need to be marked as an ACE after the truncated ISBN is removed?

Also, please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and recombine.
