Hi,There are two authors called Stephen Crabbe. The author Stephen Crabbe from Australia in the link below did not write 'Controlling Language in Industry: Controlled Languages for Technical Documents'.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...\
It was written by an author called Stephen Crabbe from the UK. Can you please delete the book from the above link.
Thanks in advance.
To other SupersAnyone else having trouble with Merges going through? Mine are frequently not "taking", and having to be requeued on the following day 2-3 times in a row. To be clear, I'm leaving 24 hours before requeuing, and it's affecting ones with 0 add the same as ones with 1000s (short stories from anthologies).

Hi Emy- I'm not a super, but I did come across this thread the other day which detailed some possible merging delays- https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Please delete this record:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
It is a duplicate (and erroneous) listing of this title:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Please merge and recombine with the original: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...edit: I can't recall what happened here. I think I separated something by mistake and realized it should have been an ACE instead or something. Sorry about that :) Please ignore.
Please merge and recombine with the original: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...(the cover image in the dup came from the publisher here: http://static.publico.pt/docs/cmf2/fi...)
Please merge and recombine with the original (the ISBN13 on the duplicate is an EAN/UPC):https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
#497 hasn't gone through yet (done in #499)(BTW deleting the correctly added edition - see https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... - wasn't that cool)
Please delete and combine with the other Kindle Edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
(This one's ASIN doesn't exist while the other one's (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) ASIN is the same one as on Amazon's site)

For some reason this has been changed back to the old cover and I don't know why.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
#528 That is a valid edition, not something to delete. As per GoodReads policy, no valid cover is ever removed, as readers like to add books with the cover they have. Instead Alternate Cover Editions are added.The ACE with the current cover for your book has been created by someone else here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
As the author of this book, you can set the default edition (the one that appears in searches by title and on your profile) by following the instructions found here:
https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...
Could you inform me of the exact date the cover change took effect?
Please note; merging is extremely slow; I am already waiting more than 48 hours for some editions to be merged. #510

#512 this thread is for deleting duplicate editions. Please start a new thread when you need help moving a book to a different author, see message 1 of this thread.

#523 GR does not delete books that are no longer available. It was imported from Amazon, so it was available at some point.
#524/525 not done; placeholder is the only edition with a cover
#526 wrong thread, please post here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

#531/532 the ASIN was removed and a new edition created with that ASIN.

Instead Alternate Cover Editio..."Somewhere during January. I can only delete the cover but cannot replace it. I can upload another image but it's not recognised as a primary cover. My problem is when you go to my profile and look at my list of books, the old cover shows.
Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (one entry with 10 digit ISBN and one with 13) and recombine.
#528/529/541 There is no need to delete any covers or upload new ones for that. As I said in my previous message:Alex wrote: "As the author of this book, you can set the default edition (the one that appears in searches by title and on your profile) by following the instructions found here: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3... ". You may need to allow some time for the system to catch up, as author pages are heavily cached.
If you have any more queries regarding this, please start a new thread, as this one is for deletion requests, and this is not the case for your edition.

I've been credited with a book that wasn't written by me. It's called 'Strange Tales of Scotland' and it was written by another Jack Strange. Please delete it from my books.
Many thanks,
Jack
