message 213: by Onur (new)

Onur (onurkayabasi) | 6 comments Hi,
I'm trying to clear Turkish book editions for Game of Thrones and realized too much messed up stuff there. For that I've decided to merge same books but after seperating them I couldn't delete the duplicate versions as it requires super librarian help.

This is the original one and I've only added the ISBN. ISBN13 was exist before
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

This has a made-up ISBN13 ("9" added to middle and last digit is removed)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Made up ISBN (Removed first 4 digits from ISBN13)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

ISBN was correct but removed for adding to the first link as that ISBN is equal to that ISBN13
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

After removal of last 3 duplicate editions, it should be combined with that edition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Thanks!

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...

individual comics without ISBN, merge with Kindle

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #228 that's the wrong thread for your request.
This is about deletions, real deletions. For moving requests there are different threads.
(but you probably should contact support, looks like they gave you the default profile which isn't the smartest idea if there are so many foreign books - because all these other Tiffanys can (and most likely will) reappear with other books/editions.Would make more sense to give you another spacing)

Crystal (lifeinpoetry) | 4171 comments Please merge

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

There's already a Kindle Edition with an ASIN and the same release date and cover, this one has no ASIN.

to be combined back to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

please make a new post for each request

#166 done

#167 (and 168 = duplicate post. Please don't delete one of them as that affects the numbering of all posts)
Two duplicates merged, and recombined.

Isbn10 and isbn13 belong together, should not be divided over two editions. Isbn10 moved to isbn13 edition, as that one was first added to GR.

#169 done

Please remember to separate both editions when the duplicate should be merged into an edition that is not the default edition.

#177-178 done
#179-214 done
#215 done

#216-220 done
Please link to the duplicate(s).

#221 combined, not merged, as both are valid editions.
Please read the Librarian Manual: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/4...

#225 Working on it. Separating takes a long time, and there are more duplicates. Four identical duplicates merged into matching cover edition with isbn, and recombined.
Please remember to separate the duplicates with the matching valid edition (default edition has a different cover).
Also, please don't link to edit pages.

#226-227 done

#229 not done, the previous issues of this magazine seem to have an isbn or asin. This one will probably also get an ASIN or isbn, publication might be later this month.

#230 done
#232-236 done

#237 Done. Please combine the editions before asking for a merge. The duplicate had a truncated isbn removed. That truncated isbn doesn't match with the edition you linked to, but with this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

#238 done

Karen | 2 comments Please remove this book (My Daughter Taught Me to Walk) from my author page. It is by another Karen Garvin and it keeps reappearing on my page.

Robert Vlach (robertvlach) | 2 comments Please someone delete a duplicate audiobook edition of my book Na volne noze, I have created two by server error:

message 243: by Moloch (new)

Moloch | 3975 comments This https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10664113-a-dance-with-dragons looks like a duplicate of this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11325938-a-dance-with-dragons to me
The first one has a little "Copyrighted material" text at the bottom but that's just what Amazon adds to every cover (it's not on the actual cover I guess)

But I'm hesitant to separate books with so many shelvings

thanks

message 245: by Kerry (new)

Kerry (geniusscientist) | 70 comments Please merge these two, the one to keep should be obvious, it has ISBNs and a cover image https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

And then combine back into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

(Hopefully I did this correctly, it's been years since I librarianed anything . . . )

lethe | 16359 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (has ISBNs)

Please merge this edition into the other edition with cover and correct spelling and transfer the ISBNs.

Please combine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thanks!

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (ISBNs)

Looks like only the year of publication is different. The covers, although different resolutions, seem the same.

If you agree, please merge. Thanks!
