Ruwangika Gunawardana (ruwangi) | 28 comments The author pages මොහාන් රාජ් මඩවල , Mohan Raj Madawala and මොහාන් රාජ් මඩවල (Mohan Raj Madawala) stand for the same author. Please merge them. The most correct looking one is the first one, and he hasn't written any books in English so far, so I think the name in that page would be the most appropriate.

I suppose the following books should be merged..

රැජිණ - රැජින - රැජින - are the same book. The correct title, as the cover shows, is රැජින. The description in the third one above is not appropriate as it looks more like a review; the person who added it clearly has written up his personal take on this book. (Some of it translates to: "..Some aspects in this book, such as things about religion, would have been better if it were different, but that's just my personal opinion..".)

මාගම් සෝලිය - මාගම් සෝලිය - මාගම් සෝලිය - Magam Soliya - all four are the same book. The correct ISBN10 is 9554690002 and ISBN13 is 9789554690004.

ලොවීනා and Lovina: The Hidden Love Story of Mount Lavinia are the same book. Correct name is the Sinhalese one.

ආදරණීය වික්ටෝරියා and Aadaraneeya Victoria are the same book. Sinhalese name is the correct one.

Thank you.

Ayshe | 3084 comments Thank you for notifying.

I merged the authors, removed the description, combined the books, deleted one duplicate, changed titles to Sinhalese one and added the transliterations in brackets.

ආදරණීය වික්ටෝරියා Aadaraneeya Victoria and මාගම් සෝලිය Magam Soliya posted in the deletions for superlibrarians thread.

මාගම් සෝලිය Magam Soliya and මාගම් සෝලිය Magam Soliya really look like duplicates but covers are different (the first one has additional characters in the lower left corner).

Ayshe | 3084 comments Duplicates have been deleted. Let us know if you know the cover for මාගම් සෝලිය Magam Soliya has some kind of watermark/logo or is actually a different cover from the one with the valid isbn13.

The actual cover of මාගම් සෝලිය Magam Soliya doesn't have that watermark thingy. Looks like the image was taken off some website hence the watermark/logo..
