#706 ignoredFirst of all I apologize in advance in case my comment seems offensive or unreasonable (English is only my third language and my writings skills aren't that good).
I know that most if not all of super-librarians are volunteers therefore they're working on our behalf without any economically compensation. But makes me sad that most of the times we make a counterargument on this forum our comment is just ignored.
In my opinion when there's no specific policy on GR about something more than one super should be consulted. I really try to make this site more organized little by little contributing with what I can, but is really frustrating to see a true duplicated (not an ACE, not a tête-bêche edition) of a book on my shelf not being merged.
Joseph, I'm not commenting on the substance of your message, just to say that ALL super-librarians are volunteers and spread around the world.
Joseph wrote: "#706 ignored"I've seen your response. When in doubt, or not entirely sure, no edit should be made, especially not merging, as that can't be reverted.
I suggest that you start a new thread, asking for opinions/clarification for this specific example, box set with two sides, as the chance of getting them here is very small. Once there is a consensus reached there, that thread can be used for policy.

I guess so, but I think of them as staff.
Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and recombine. Stray lists pub date of 2018, but exact same month and year of original publication (which was 2017).
