They are duplicate of
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
And recombine with
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

(there is also a 4th edition needing merge, which I queued myself)

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Two editions marked as ARCs- can one be merged? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

It looks like there was information removed from both by a GR staff member, and then they were both marked as advance copies, and now appear exactly the same. I've never seen that before, and wasn't sure if it made a difference since they're both designated ARCs now with no format specified?

And recombine

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #200 Please do not remove valid data from a work. Edits contrary to policy have been reverted. Goodreads is not a vendor site, so the availability of a book for sale does not affect whether we have a catalogue entry for that work/edition.

#188 done; the real question is if an edition with volumes 1+2 is available, or only the separate volumes.
#189-194 done

#195 separated, merged and recombined.
Please remember to separate both editions when the duplicate should be merged into an edition that is not the default edition.

I have already combined it with the book it should be merged with.

#214 done. Not recombined (yet). Is "Forever On" the same as "After On"?

#215 done
#216 not done, covers are different
#218-219 done

#220 done
Please remember to separate both editions when the duplicate should be merged into an edition that is not the default edition.
Also, please don't move isbn's before requesting a merge. Just say isbn10 and isbn13 are on two different editions.

Robert Brown (lastblade) | 3 comments Please help delete the books I created on my author page while trying to add my book Shatterbones. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
If possible, add the book I was attempting to add, as I am unable to figure out how to do it. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
and it combine with the paperback version https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
and
delete the 1st edition which is no longer available, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


message 223: by Arenda (last edited May 01, 2017 06:03AM) (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #224 (now #223) both duplicates merged (=deleted).
Moved the valid editions to your profile.

GR does not delete books that are no longer available.
Please see https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

As the author, you will be able to change which edition is the default edition, see How to set the default edition.

Those are not duplicates. Each is a distinct edition, with its own ISBN or ASIN.

They are now combined into a single work. Also, please note that leaving a Librarian Note is not an effective way of asking for a change, as librarians are highly unlikely to see the note unless they happen to be making another edit to the book.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13082 comments #233 these are not duplicates, they are editions in different languages. I combined them.


message 234: by K.G. (new)

K.G. Anderson (kganderson) Please delete a book from my profile. I wanted to be added as a contributor to an existing book -- still can't figure out how to do this. The book I accidentally added to my profile is The Mammoth Book of Jack the Ripper Stories. I just want to have the book, already on GoodReads, linked to my author page. No idea how to accomplish this.


message 237: by Ayshe (new)

Ayshe | 3084 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - the default has no details


message 238: by Anna (new)

Anna Atanasova (annaatanasova) | 1 comments This can be remove, cause there is the same edition:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

And the original:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I deleted it - when book has 5 or less shelvings any librarian can do it, super is not necessary.

Also added you as contributor to the anthology (and few others).

#237 was already recombined. Separated, merged and recombined.

#239 this was already requested in #237 and because of the merge both Bulgarian editions were separated.

The user said: "Both volumes are available only separately. " (It's not language I speak so I can't research on this).

Should it be merged with volume 1: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... ?

Re: #214, yes, it looks like the HC edition the ARC is currently combined with titled Forever On has been cancelled by the publisher due to the title change to After On. I went ahead and recombined them- thanks!
