Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments page count per my copy and WorldCat: 197 (ISBN 9788205459311)

Remove the url entry which does not meet the GR guideline requirements.

Z-squared | 8575 comments I changed the word count but did not remove the URL. It looked OK to me. What makes it not meet GR guidelines?


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments It's simply a publisher's sales page for the book.

Looks to me like it includes a preview of the book. Is that not what that is?


message 5: by Halvor (Raknes) (last edited Apr 19, 2018 12:59PM) (new) - added it

Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments It is. If that suffices, go for it, but I'm sure this is just a regular sales page that will be removed when the book goes out of print.

The same with this book/edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

A preview counts as additional content, so the link is fine.

Like any link, if it becomes unusable, we can remove it.


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments Since quotes from media reviews are inapplicable for book descriptions, I take this to mean that any sales page that contains such reviews is applicable to be linked from the URL field.

Is this a correct interpretation? If not, why not?

If there is also other content (previews, notes from the author, maps or diagrams, etc.) then the presence of media reviews on an official author or publisher page for a book would not keep it from being an acceptable link.


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments No no no… That's NOT what I asked you.

I asked whether media reviews alone was sufficient to make the page applicable to be linked in the URL field.

And if it isn't, why not?

No, it's not. I just listed some examples of the sorts of things we consider additional content. Reviews from other sites would not be.


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments OK.
