I have a weird one, and need some advice.I was checking out the various editions of Axiomatic, and came across this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/1...
It's an issue of the magazine Urania, but the magazine contains the entire contents of the book, translated into Italian. (supporting evidence here: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?3...)
It should go, right?
#663No, it's just a book without an ISBN - there's plenty of those in the catalogue already :)
They are definitely magazines, but upon further looking, I think they are perfectbound. Very strange that they are hiding among the regular book editions, instead of being on GR as their individual issues. There's a whole Goodreads group dedicated to their curation.

Moved request over to the other thread

I've always been adding the award to the anthology, after I've done the combine, so I think they should be safe, but I'll double check the hugo/nebula/locus awards lists anyway! Thanks!

That is definitely not correct for series, unless it means the new work ends up in a series twice (which cannot be done).

Perhaps things have changed. Observation in the past only is that when the series is attached to an edition that gets combined with another work, that series gets lost.
Thanks, Corinne. It certainly would save a lot of work if the series is retained through combines and merges.
Also already combined - please delete (I doubly made sure this was only published in a magazine, because there are so many people with reviews)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Sending #681-685 off into the wide blue yonder :)
I actually went through the whole issue this time, this was the only one I couldn't merge, so please delete:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Edit: Whoops, this one also

Asimov Nov/Dec 2017This particular one does have a separate novella published, however this specific edition was noted as the "published in Asimov Magazine" so I separated/combined it. Please delete:

Lightspeed, Feb 2015 combined, please delete the following:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Uncanny #2 combined, please delete: (Folding Beijing has been published by itself in other languages, but never in English)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Warning, when combining ones which are already in the same series, please can you remove the "bad" record from the series first. OR, add the story-title to the entry before the combine (so that it's identical to the series record entry for the anthology/magazine)We've lost ALL the data off the Xuya series indicating which story is in which journal because the combine decided to take the blank instead of the one with the title in. It's an annoying glitch I've not noticed before, but I now see why some titles would occasionally get blanked out...
Oh well, at least the log is clearer now so it shows what they were attached to before in the log. I'll use that to recreate the details. On the weekend though not tonight!
#692 - Two valid editions that I can see. Am I missing something?
692 - Just one, I inserted the mag title before the short story name (buffalo) to make combine easier.
Katherine wrote: "692 - Just one, I inserted the mag title before the short story name (buffalo) to make combine easier."But it has an ASIN?
Uh .... oops! Separating and fixing now!
ISFDB didn't know it ever being published separately, so I think that's why I combined it, missed the ASIN, but verified that it was at some point valid
Corinne wrote: "Elizabeth do you think what Emy is talking about is the origin of why we moved the series from the bad editions? We were moving from bad to another target before requesting merge. I’m still not cle..."Yes, this is the exact problem.
Beneath Ceaseless Skies #43, completedplease delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Thanks!
Let's question deleting Asimov's. Physical editions were published as perfect bound binding. Perhaps that one hasn't been added. https://www.asimovs.com/more-stuff/ar...
EDIT: The pdfs might just be the editorials.

Also, I guess this can go here, it's chapter 1 of a book, published in the New Yorker. Should I combine it with the novel or should the whole thing be deleted?
