Quoleena Sbrocca (qjsbrocca) Back when I added all these quotes for my series, I didn't know I wouldn't be able to delete them later. The following quotes either no longer appear in OuterSphere or Insurrection, or I just don't want to include them from Luminescence.

I'm working on cleaning up the merged book editions that happened today, so that there's no confusion with quotes in the old version, vs what's written in the 2nd edition. I just added several from the new edition, so I'd like those to serve as replacements for the ones listed below.

Can you please delete these? There's 8, and I don't know what the process is. If it's best to request a couple at a time, then I'll make other requests at later dates. Also, a couple have likes attached to them, so those probably can't be deleted since they're attached to a user profile now, so please let me know about those too. Thanks!

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments We do not delete quotes with likes -and as the older editions stay in the database why shouldn't the quotes?

We can only delete quotes without likes you entered.
That might reduce the amount you need deleted already?
(and as everybody can enter quotes the deleted ones may be entered again by someone else)

Quoleena Sbrocca (qjsbrocca) I personally entered all the quotes. I wanted to delete them so it doesn't get mixed up with the new edition, since the editions were merged today. So if you can only delete quotes without likes that I entered, that includes most of the ones in my list. If a user ever adds it back (and the book is obscure so not likely) then hey, I'd love it if a user quotes one of my books!

The quotes with zero likes have been queued for deletion.

(FYI, to Goodreads Librarians, "merge" means delete. See https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...)
