Nousha (noushawitch) | 19 comments Please delete this book:

Suck book doesn't exist, someone created the profile using the cover from the first part. The publisher says they have some plans to publish second part some time in the future but nothing is done about it yet.
Thank you!

Maarit | 450 comments Please delete this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It's a duplicate version of this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
only the upper, incomplete version has more reviews than this one with complete information, including ISBN. Tried to do this myself, but the duplicate had too many reviews.

Val Stoeva (valstoevadk) | 1 comments Please, delete this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
It is still not published and it`s going to be with a completely different cover. Someone has uploaded it and rated it, which is not correct.
Thanks a lot!

Could you please delete all the editions of this book and leave only one? The book is not published yet and should have only one edition.
Thank you.

message 110: by Renske (last edited Jul 06, 2018 02:01AM) (new)

Renske | 12220 comments About 95-97 It is an invalid ISBN, according to the ISBN calculator, the check digit (the last digit of the ISBN) should have been a different number. Goodreads also gives a warning about the invalid ISBN. I merged the edition.

101 Done by someone else

102 If that cover is from the first part, perhaps it could better be changed to a edition of the first as there is currently no edition of the first part with that cover.

103 pending

104 Same request as 102

107 Pending
108 pending

109 How do you know this ISBN doesn't belong to this book? Also, when making this kind of edits, please use the change comment field to explain why you made the edit.

110 Pending

P.J. Shepherd (pjshepherd) | 6 comments Hi there I've tried to add my book Where Puppets Hide but it has come under a separate author account. I was wondering if you might be able to change it so that I'm the author of it not an account I accidentally made? Pretty please?

Publisher says that, but if you follow the URL on the book page to the publisher's site, you'll see the cover as coming part 2.

They are not the same, they are two editions of the same book, one is paperback and the other is Kindle.
I combined them.

It started as a simple fix title, then I noticed a totally wrong isbn (8601300400136) so I removed it, then a discussion was had & now I'm requesting a merge :)

And then could you please recombine with

#128 Mfonemana,
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...

I combined both editions on your profile, so the old one does not show as a separate book.

You might want to set up a new edition as default - the one that will come up in searches and will show on your profile. Here is how:
Setting default edition

The other profile was created back in 2015 by auto-import from Amazon. Did you have your book available there?

Also, is this reader profile yours as well?

message 145: by Melanti (new)

Melanti | 761 comments I need to merge two editions to correct some vandalism. I was able to revert most of the changes, but couldn't revert the ASIN change since the book had already been re-added in the last couple of weeks.

Unfortunately, I cannot separate the editions in question since there's too many reviews. It's not the actual deleting that needs the superlibrarian; it's the separating.

I need this edition:
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea ToSeparate
Merged into this edition:
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

And then the ASIN added back to the original record, and the two to be combined back with the book as a whole.

I think the wrong one was merged. 9780813996685 is invalid but still here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... The valid 9780812996685 (0812996682) used to be on GR but now isn't.

(And I had shelved 9780812996685 and the title is now no longer in My Books, so the merge didn't switch my shelving over to 9780813996685.)
