This: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...is the same as this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
and the latter is a better book page.
And This Author:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
is the same as this:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
just in a different language so I don't know if you keep separate author pages for each lang.
#885 not doneThe first has a different isbn than the second one.
There are issues with the isbn on the first link (284305411 / 28430541122), only 9 and 11 digits, instead of 10 and 13, but different from the isbn on the other edition 2843057892 / 9782843057892
Author profiles in different languages should never be merged.
I've added a link on the Arabic profile to the Orhan Pamuk profile, and will check to make Orhan Pamuk primary author on all editions.
This is off topic for this thread. For further questions, please start a new thread.

Re: 875
Didn't notice that detail. Image is correct, i.e. matches the published cover, in this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
The other image must be a pre-publication non-final mockup that was used. Here are several photos of the actual book to show the final, and only, cover:

Please do not remove ISBNs and put on different book. Publishers do re use ISBNs
GR policy is to leave ISBN with first book added to GR which is the one you removed the ISBNs from

Sorry, this is was not what happened in this case, I checked with the Italian national library, the ISBN I removed never belonged to 'Il condominio' by Ballard, not such edition exist. The ISBN alwasy belonged to 'la ragazza di Charlotte street' by Wallance. A GR user for mysterious reasons switched them. Also the publication date coincided: I don't think a publisher would use the same ISBN number for two books and publish them the same day, I'm sure about the 'la ragazza di Charlotte street' being the right one because I own it.

Even if it's a mistake made by an user and I cannot find evidences that the original one ever existed? Let alone my case, what to do if someone makes such a mistake?
Please combine Peril at End House with Peril at End HouseOne is listed by ISBN10 and the other by ISBN13

I hope this is the correct place to post but if not, perhaps you could point me in the right direction. I have renamed my book Harry the Louse: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... to Discrete Reversal: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... but it doesn't seem to have been picked up from Amazon correctly with the new cover. Can the two editions be merged in some way to put this right? Thank you in advance.

If you have a question about it, it'd be best to create a new thread in the Book Issues folder.

In any case, it is always best to ask for a second opinion in this group first before doing something which is generally against policy.
#905 separated, merged, and recombined#906 merging them will either delete the cover or the isbn. I can't confirm they belong together.

#919 not done (yet).- Please remember to separate both editions when the duplicate needs to be merged into an edition that is not the default. (Unless there are too many ratings for a regular librarian to separate them, in which case you will be notified.)
- Publishers are different. Is Nova Fronteira an imprint of HarperCollins Brasil?

#919 The company Harper Collins Brasil publishes titles from Nova Fronteira, wich will continue to be published under that name.
#919/930 separated, merged and recombinedSince this edition also seems to be published in a box (with different isbn for the box) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/856... with HarperCollins as publisher on the cover, I will keep HarperCollins as publisher.
