#936 Don't forget to separate the editions and combine them for merging first. I went ahead and did that part after changing the author's name on the book record.

Author C.M. Wright created duplicate entries before the correct entry was linked to her page. She requests these be deleted.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Please look at post #693
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... - truncated isbnto be combined back to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Are you sure #916 is done? I still see the duplicate.Or maybe someone deleted a post and the numbers are off?

I guess it did not finish! I will do it again. I will definitely check all of these again before declaring them done.
ETA: 916 should be done now.

The second one has wrong ISBN-13
Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... which is identical to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... and used the ISBN of the second book in the series (I deleted the ISBN to assign it to the right edition).Please also delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... - the Kindle edition with the correct ASIN is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4....

Hi, can you merge these two entries?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
I'm A.D. Starrling on my Goodreads profile and every publishing platform but the Amazon copy always comes across as AD Starrling which is a PITA with every book I publish!
Thank you! :-)

Non-librarian: Unable to separate.
Emily wrote: "#860 I have separated those editions for merging. Next time just mention you are not a librarian."The entry I added in September 2018 was totally incorrect given the ISBN already existed. (I didn’t check).
What does my not being a librarian have to do with the asking of this question? And how can I tell what is in progress (merging?) when I asked for deletion and the reply from September said it was done?
#962 edition with invalid ISBN (ISBN13: 9786602766348) merged
#972 You will see what I mean in Message 1 from the moderator directed to non-librarians.As the thread goes along you will see completion posts from superlibrarians indicating the status of your request. Your request was shown completed in message #930.
I don't know about your request from September, but you can send a message to staff from the Help tab at the bottom of the page if you have a question about it.
#963 merged edition with invalid ISBN (6709864795192) with the matching cover edition; reverted ISBN change; added a new edition with the other ISBN using data from Amazon.cn here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Hi,Please can someone look at #917 for me? Last note was for someone else to look at it but I can’t see anything after that.
Many thanks
#917 corrected editions, but did not find anything to merge

It appears the "temporary" move was in 2017.
#978 Thanks, I didn't know if that mattered.
Emily wrote: "#978 Thanks, I didn't know if that mattered."I'm not sure I've separated it correctly, though. However, they are certainly identical covers. If you would prefer I work on an ACE message and cross-reference, I can do that.
Are you sure #917 is done?The paperback is still showing as having the incorrect isbn which has been allocated to the hardback.
The isbn for https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... should be 978-0-00-727639-4
Thank you
#564/#693/#948 merged (there was clearly a mistake in ACE - ISBN in the ACE description did not match ISBN of the linked edition and ISBN10 /13 did not match as well...); furthermore two merged editions originally had matching ISBN10 / ISBN13 splited between these two

Linked edition looks correct and has a valid ISBN, also visible on the back cover:
ISBN-10: 0007276419
ISBN-13: 978-0007276417
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/000...
ISBN 978-0-00-727639-4 is listed here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
and
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/000...
Both editions are paperbacks.
Is this correct?

Yes, I'll go fix them. Thank you for seeing this from a different perspective.
Done, and recombined
Re #917 - yes that is perfect now. They are both paperbacks with different isbns. Thank you for changing it over to a paperback. I have now switched over the edition I am reading to the corrected one.
#966 Rishu wrote: "Please delete"1. It's better to explain what is wrong with the ISBNs than to move them or delete them. I've sorted it out and added the deleted ISBN10 to the correct edition. Don't forget to separate editions for merging first.
2. The first one is the German copy that is sold on Amazon.com. The other one is the German copy sold on Amazon.de. ASINs can differ on different countries' Amazon websites for the same book. They are still valid editions.
#966 Done
#967 These are both valid editions

4713510945568 is Commodity Code not ISBN
When it starts with 47 that means the product made in Taiwan.
ISBN-13 in Taiwan must start with 978....
They just all have 13 numbers suddenly.
Someone type Commodity Code and I corrected it to 9789864795192.
https://www.amazon.cn/dp/B07M66PQBF
You found this in amazon.cn That's a China website.
Please type [Ctrl]+[F] and type [进口原版书 > 港台版图书]
These Chinese charactors means [Import original version > from Taiwan/Hong Kong]
thus this book is totally same as the book published in Taiwan.
besides 远见天下文化 is Simplyed Chinese.
遠見天下文化 is Traditional Chinese.
(There's no Simlyed Chinese edition. It’s just a book that China imported from Taiwan, so the information become simplified. The cover and content of the entire book is completely the same in Taiwan.)
All it means the two is same book.
You can find it in our National Central Library
There is only one edition
#988 I would sugest making use of the change comment, especially when you are correcting a crucial data as ISBN.Also some explanation in your request woul be helpful.
As you know we are volonteers and most are not an experts on international publishing customs.
If no one else picks this up I will have another look tomorrow.
