I think you are going to have to contact Goodreads support to have that removed.


message 409: by Paolo (new)

Paolo Caracciolo | 199 comments Could you please delete this edition?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
It has been added by the Author without some data.

The correct edition is already in the database
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Also in this case the addition has been done directly by the Author

message 412: by Ethan (new)

Ethan Holmes (ethanholmes) | 1 comments I hope I'm in the correct 'room' for this. Not sure why I have to join a group to edit book listings on my profile that were not authored by me but apparently I join a cast of thousands with the same problem. How about if the gods of goodreads do something productive about this. These books are NOT mine and I would like them removed from my profile please:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The latter one doesn't even have my name as author. Something is intrinsically wrong inside a system that does this.

annob [on hiatus] (annob) | 4048 comments Many thanks Olivia, for tackling those requests! Regarding #257; ebook unlikely to exist since the Kindle edition is enrolled into KU. (I reverted the format change and merged placeholder+kindleEd, so task done). Congrats btw :)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #435 - re #346

If they're not books they should either be deleted or moved onto the NAB profile (NOT A BOOK)

Probably worth going through their respective Authors too as much of the work on there is possibly either NAB too or has a named author we can use in preference :)

You can temporarily add some text to the titles of all these editions. Usually I add something like 'editiontoseparate'. On the separate page, you can search for 'editiontoseparate' and select all relevant editions. (And don't forget to correct the title for the remaining edition(s).

Oh yeah, now I remember someone (maybe you) giving this advise.
I was too tired to figure it out.
Thanks

I merged editions from all listed groups, and ended up with 4 re-prints that I combined together here:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Question: should these be merged as well?

#450 this was mostly moving the books to your profile, combining them and correcting the data; next time please post in This book is not mine, please move it or crease a new thread for similar requests

Eric (cwluc) | 57 comments There are zero ratings for the book but it's a dupe that I can't delete and says it needs a super. ty https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #452 - Please post in the correct thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

#453 Needed combining first. Working on it.
#454 Also needed combining with the correct target (hardback). Queuing now.

As an aside, I'm not sure if #453 is actually a valid book for Goodreads as it appears to be an ongoing publication on Wattpad, and only COMPLETE works are valid usually. However she's been granted Goodreads Author status based on that work, so not sure!


message 447: by Moloch (new)

Moloch | 3975 comments Thank you very much Olivia, all my requests have been done except for #263, maybe it's more practical if I copy it:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
this book is probably an Amazon exclusive (see the publisher in the other editions): thus, the "ebook" format (which is also the default edition) should probably be merged into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


message 449: by Olivia (last edited May 21, 2018 05:38AM) (new)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #456
The edition was created as duplicate of this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
- the same publication date
- the same description

On the later date someone added an incorrect cover from alternate cover edition that you listed.

I'm aware that people might have add this edition based on the cover, but have no way to check it, so I'm merging to the editions it was intended to be.
