This is not a book, but a PDF-Manual, handed outduring an event.
And the exspected publication date( "2106") would have made it impossible to be read anyway.

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #545 I think the whole author should be NAB#d rather than individual planners
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
looking for second opinion
#546 and #547 could someone with more experience as super decide on the deletions?
#548 placeholders like these as far as I know are allowed
#551 answered in 552
#553 answered in 554
#555 done, recombined


message 568: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Re #545 I agree with you on that "author"

I'll look at the New Yorker ones later - might be able to find anthologies for some/all, which means we can at least merge not delete :)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #556 this edition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
was originally added by user with ISBN 9780062394422, but someone changed the data (before publication date), so the ISBN does not match the cover

I can't revert the changes as this edition was later automatically imported, so old ISBN is now taken.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Now, would it be better to merge the edition to the one it was originally created as and matching cover
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
or the edition with the matching ISBN
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


message 570: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments 546/547/576/577: I've seen a few New Yorker short story entries like these before, but didn't flag them as NABs because they're explicitly called out in the manual as things Goodreads considers books:

Goodreads considers the following to be valid book records:
snip
* short stories published online (the format should be "ebook")
snip

Is there more criteria required for it to be an ebook then? (totally happy for these to be NABs, personally)

Apparently they are considered published in a magazine, and not on it's own, even when the magazine decides to also publish them on their website.


message 573: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments "Short stories published online" are a VERY different beast from these - view these as articles within an magazine issue. Short stories published online are mostly free fiction released by authors on their websites, occasionally other author/thematic websites which are collating archives of out-of-print works, and providers like Wattpad.

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments Gotcha, thank you both. I'll go weep while I look for those short stories I ignored.

Edit: never mind, I remembered the author :D

Botmtl | 17 comments Shawn Clements is an individual that at some point shared a bunch of stories he got on fanfiction sites, but forgot his pdf software was registered to his name, thereby putting his name in the author field.

The author, along with his "cherry" book, can be safely deleted.

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #547 Joseph,
Firstly, this is not the correct thread for your request.
In the future please create a new tread for your request if you are not sure where to post.

Goodreads does not delete out-of-print books or editions. Please see https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have. Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition.

I have created alternate cover edition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
and paperback edition for your book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

You might want to set up one of these as a default edition - the one that will come up in searches and will show on your profile
https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

Please also note that Goodreads does not allow titles or degrees in the author field.
I requested your profile name to be corrected by GR staff.

Henrik Johansson | 3 comments Hi,
added a new book (as and editor) only to find out readers had already added it.

If it would be possible to merged them with all editors and contributors and still keep the ratings that would be great.

My addition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

And adding the other one to my author profile would fix it.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

And separating me and Anna Jörgensdotter as authors. we are two seperate being.


Elizabeth (Alaska) Split ISBN - the "right" half happens luckily to be the default!

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thank you!

Pamela Ferguson | 18 comments Hello,

I accidentally gave my own book a 1-star review:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Please don't laugh--I guess I inadvertently clicked it while scrolling down the page. I don't know how to delete my accidental 1-star review. Is that something you can do. Many thanks! Pam


message 596: by annob [on hiatus] (new)

annob [on hiatus] (annob) | 4048 comments #604 Hi Pamela,
No, Goodreads librarians can not delete your reviews or ratings. But you can. Click the edit option next to the section title 'My Activity' visible when you are on the book page. Then click the 'Clear' option visible next to the star rating you have given.

If you have further questions please post a new thread since this one is dedicated only for requests to delete duplicate editions of book records.

message 598: by annob [on hiatus] (new)

annob [on hiatus] (annob) | 4048 comments #606 Editions combined (not merged since they are different editions, with different cover art). Next time, please create a new post in the Book Issues sub forum, as this thread it dedicated to deletion requests of true duplicate books.
