Help with combine mistake

[Gigi]

Hello. I was searching for a book by R.J. Scott and found it under R.J. Scott and RJ Scott. I changed the author name for RJ Scott to R.J. Scott as that is the name all her other books are listed under and the combined the books (3 total, Kindle, Smashwords and the publisher's website) without a problem. The trouble now is that I am certain there were reviews already listed for this book and now they are gone. I am not a super librarian so I'm not quite sure how this happened and what I did wrong but I feel terrible and would really like to rectify this situation. Can anyone help me find a solution?

You cannot delete reviews unless you delete the book record itself with no 'target', so I would assume that there weren't any reviews before.

Reviews sometimes don't show up properly for a day or two after a combine or separate, due to caching of the book page.

(If you filter by stars on this one, you can see they are still there.)

Thanks guys. I still only see new ratings and adds, but I trust I wasn't able to damage anything given my lower status. *wipes forehead*

I have made a terrible mistake and uploaded three editions of the same book. I am the author. Is it possible to delete the two older editions? Do I do this my combining? I have read the post about the subject, but still confused. Help in this matter would be much appreciated. The book is The Note: A Graceful Reflection. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... This is the correct edition. The other two are mistakes. I also have five other titles that need to be deleted as I have taken them down and off Amazon's KDP.What do I do about that problem. They are being rewritten. I feel like an idiot, please help me. Thank you...

Re 5: I am working on merging the actual duplicates. Done.

However, please note that Goodreads does not delete out-of-print books or editions. Please see http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/22... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/32...

As the author, you will have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile. Here's how: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

Hello there,

I have made a complete goof up. I thought I was combining separate editions of the same book but somehow I have managed to put all my books combined with each other...Can you tell me ow to separate them again into the individual books...You will see what I mean if you look here. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
The different titles are different books...Apologies
