Or | 26 comments Hello,

I noticed duplicate edition of the same book but I don't have sufficient privileges in order to merge the editions. Please merge these two:
1) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
2) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The first one is the "main" one of the two, if that matters, were more details are present.


Thanks,
Or

lethe | 16381 comments I removed the cover designer and editor, since they don't get author credits according to GR policy.

Or | 26 comments But when asking these credits GR suggested "Editor" as a possible value for this field and it was also a free text field (that's why I entered the cover designer credit). Doesn't that mean these are legitimate values for this field?

Z-squared | 8575 comments Editor is acceptable but only for anthologies or scholarly work where editing is associated with content creation. Cover designers are never given credit on Goodreads.

Or | 26 comments Oh, well. The publishers gave credit on their site but I'm fine with it.

Thanks.

Or | 26 comments Thanks. I'm just disappointed that the interface allows this when they could've added a field marking something as an anthology or a novel and provide specific relevant roles for each, if that's the way they want it. Though I still don't understand why they wouldn't want more information provided in some cases.
