message 51: by Bargle (new)

Bargle | 53 comments This one is a question about a book, but not an actual book. The person looking for it hasn't been active for nearly 2 years, so I think it can be safely deleted.

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #57 one is a valid ASIN on Amazon.com (you can still find it with Google)
and the other was once imported by Amazon so is considered valid too
Records with ASIN that once were valid but aren't anymore (Amazon does delete these sometimes from the catalogue - but GR doesn't) are kept because they are once existing book records.

Dawn Sherling | 1 comments My book Not Quite Dead (author Dawn Harris Sherling) is listed twice. Can you combine the one without a photo to the one with the photo? Many thanks!Not Quite Dead


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #62 that really does not belong in this thread
simple combining can be done by every librarian
(which I did)

Ayshe | 3084 comments #64: Hannah, any librarian can NAB them if they haven't been shelved: just "Click on “edit details.” On the right side of the page, click on “mark as not a book." https://www.goodreads.com/help/librar...

You'll see "Book has been removed" but the removal won't be immediate.

Billi Bell | 1 comments Please delete this book.

Duplicate: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Also, there are three "editions" of my book due to cover changes. I'm unsure of how to correct this. The latest one is the true cover and I would like to only have this one available. Is that possible?

Correct edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Some have been shelved and some haven’t...

For the shelved ones (only the last one appears to have >5 shelvings), I think steps 1.a)-1.e) are appropriate.

Emily | 17471 comments #66 Billi, Goodreads keeps all valid editions and doesn't delete covers, as users like to shelve the edition that they have. Here's how to make the one you want be the default edition:
https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

I have deleted the empty editions from the other record, but it will take a day or two for them to go away completely.


message 68: by Emily (new)

Emily | 17471 comments #67 Kate, I am moving the book off your profile. Next time please post in the "This book is not mine, please move it" thread.


message 69: by Lea (new)

Lea Coll | 1 comments Please merge these duplicate books:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

The page number should be 288, not 237 pages. Also, I'm worried that I will lose reviews when this is done. Please keep all reviews under one entry of this book. Thanks


Elizabeth (Alaska) no details, please merge with Kindle edition.

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

thank you

aniryllis | 225 comments Please merge these 1-click series https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (english) and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (german); already combined with book #1.

Thanks

message 74: by aniryllis (new)

aniryllis | 225 comments Found other 1-click series, please merge and NAB:

1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3..., already combined with the series collection.

And
2. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (.co.uk)
3. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (.com)
4. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (french edition on .co.uk)

There are published bundles of this series, but not in English and the numeration is different, so I've combined them with the first book. Hope that's right.

Thanks

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #80 that is the wrong thread for this sort of questions. You can ask here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

#81 it was not missed but just not yet done - as the last reported "done" is #47

#73 for page numbering requests we do need a ISBN/ASIN to verify and there is a forum part just for page numbering as that can be done by everyone and not only by supers - and you won't lose your reviews if a merge is done (which would happen only with a straight out deletion)
