Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Two for Rivka to OK first:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... Magazine, not a specified edition either, just in general. 2 reviews.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... " Has Yet To Be Published

Please feel free to use this "book" and add a comment and review to let us know what kind of book you used it for!". 1 review

59, not touching it since you invoked the all-important Name Of Rivka, but it looks like both are deletions to me
60, i only see one blank edition, which i recombined and deleted so it would merge automatically with the most popular edition. the rest of the editions all have valid ISBNs and thus are not to be deleted.
61, assuming they really were cancelled, then those records shouldn't be deleted, they should be NAB'd. see the librarian manual here if you're not familiar with that process: https://www.goodreads.com/librarian_m... Deleting them won't solve the problem, as those records will be recreated the next time those ISBNs come from a big import. Regardless, you don't need a super to NAB those, a regular librarian can do it.

Sandra | 31477 comments A request from the combine thread:

Dup Portuguese edition

Super librarians,
please.

These are the same edition. Ive already separated from the other editions, and they should be merged and then combined to the others (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...)

1- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
2- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

They both share the same ISBN:
ISBN: 8501070211
ISBN 13: 9788501070210

If it is a legal issue, your best course of action is to contact support (support@goodreads.com) and allow staff to deal with the issue.

message 66: by Kristan (new)

Kristan Hoffman (kristanhoffman) | 15 comments Hi, could someone please delete this "book" and its cover? Or at least merge it into the main Twenty-Somewhere ebook entry? (That is what was done a long time ago for all the other 4-episode volumes that are no longer sold. I don't know how this one got separated out again...) Thank you!

"Book" to be deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Actual valid book (if combining is necessary): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

* ASIN# moved to orig/default edition


message 68: by Kristan (new)

Kristan Hoffman (kristanhoffman) | 15 comments Umm, re: my request in post #74, things have gone kind of awry... Now ALL the 4-episode volumes are split out, instead of being combined into one work like they were before. This is like having chapters of a book listed on GoodReads as separate items.

This also means that some of the reviews/ratings that apply to the whole book are mistakenly listed under the "episodes 1-4" entry (which hasn't even been available since 2009).

Can someone please help fix this?

I think everything listed as "Twenty-Somewhere" should be 1 work, as it was before. (A previous GoodReads librarian or staffer did that, not me.)

Thank you!


message 69: by Raine (new)

Raine Miller (rainemiller2) | 4 comments I need help deleting this book. The title of it is weird like it is spam or something. Anyway, I don't know how it got there or who put it up, but All In has been added to Goodreads 2 years ago. Please delete this.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #79 Editing and combined in with the existing editions. It has an ASIN, so should remain unless you can confirm with Amazon that it was never released as an edition.


message 71: by Kristan (new)

Kristan Hoffman (kristanhoffman) | 15 comments Skyla Happy Go Lucky and Lost in Books wrote: "Were they released on Kindle is sections and then as an omnibus? If so they way they are now is correct.

Every book that is released in segments or as a whole and has their own ISBNs/ASINs get their own separate pages. "


Hm. Yes and no. The episodes never had ISBNs, and their ASINs are no longer functional. (Like, they go to error pages on Amazon.) The "omnibus" ASIN is the same as what used to be the ASIN for episodes 1-4.

My concern is that the episodes are "dead weight" -- they don't have ratings or reviews on their own, and they never will moving forward, because they aren't sold separately. (Except for episodes 1-4, which, if one reads the review, is clearly meant for the entire work anyway.)

Okay, thanks!

Andréa (fernandie) | 152 comments Please merge these two editions:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

(I accidentally created the second one while I was creating the first one.)

They should then be re-combined with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


message 82: by Werner (new)

Werner | 109 comments The record Eudora Welty A Biography is apparently an attempt (by someone who didn't know what he/she was doing) to add this book, Eudora Welty: A Biography, which was already in the database with a properly-done record. Since the former is NOT a "different edition," and has never been reviewed or added to a shelf or list by anybody, I think it should be deleted, rather than combined.
