Please edit or correct or delete this quote. (part 4)

I messed up! There was a bit of a typo in this quote that I didn't catch before hitting the post button:

"THE Jews" should be "THAT Jews"

Thank you. Sorry for the bother.

thank you! i agree, but the chapters are pretty different in tone so it's generally possible to tell them apart even without knowing where exactly it is from if you have read the book not too long ago :P

Can a Super Duper Librarian please edit this quote because the system is not letting me do it: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1390...

When I typed it up I missed a period. It is bugging me now. It can be found missing in an obvious place. That will teach me to double check things.

Thank you.

Re 57: the quote already existed, that's probably why you couldn't edit it. I merged them: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/4805...

Strictly speaking, No. It has been on Goodreads for 5½ years and has been 'liked' so it should stay. (I actually quite like it...)
However, have you any published books/works?

I've flagged some of those spammer scum to support. Don't bother deleting the quotes.

Hi,

I made a mistake when posting quotes and wanted two of the quotes deleted. The two quotes that need deleted have the name 'Jesserax' after them.

Thank you for your help. The last 2 ones (1055411 & 1055413) were supposed to be combined as in the first words from the first quote + the last words from the last quote, as otherwise you loose the idea.

That was my plan but when no one has liked either version of a quote the merge can goe the wrong way.

Is this better?

Banjomike wrote: "Why would a short quote need 65 tags?"

Because whoever added it is trying to get it into as many tags as possible to promote it (and by inference, the book/author it's from). Which seems to me like another variety of spam. Tagspam?

[Banjomike]

Often called tag bombing.

Did you know that there are about 189,000 tags in quotes? Difficult to promote anything against that mess and just makes the quote look dumb.

A member in one of my groups accidentally added a quote that was already in the system. I told her I'd delete it and then realised it's a Super function. The duplicate quotes are here:

#14, I've deleted the Richelle Mead quote that Richelle Mead says she did not write. There is no other source but I would bet that a blurb writer at her publisher came up with it.

[[deleted user]]

exactly the same except a typo in the 2nd one. They put "It't" vs. "It's"

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/3537...

also the tags are different. what do you do about that, merge them?

Hi, I have researched this and most of the published books say that the quote should go like this: "Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself."

Could we combine these quotes to suggest the above?

Hi, Would it be possible to delete this quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1530531 . I meant to paste a quote from Moll Flanders and instead I pasted an email I sent to Salman Rushdie. Would be very much grateful.

Hi, how do I edit my own quotes? I added one of my quotes just now and I mistakenly added it without completing the tag tab. This is it it looks now:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/list...
In every end is the seed of a new beginning...water it well
Liz Hester, Igniting YOU: 52 Weeks of Inspiration & Action Can Lead You to Your Dreams

tags:
failure, inspirational, success

I want it to look like this:

In every end is the seed of a new beginning...water it well
Liz Hester, Igniting YOU: 52 Weeks of Inspiration & Action Can Lead You to Your Dreams

tags:
success, inspiration, personal development, success principles, vision building, dream, famous quotes, success action, Liz Hester, Life's New Game, Mary Morrissey

Is it okay also if I add my site after the name of my book like this?

In every end is the seed of a new beginning...water it well
Liz Hester, Igniting YOU: 52 Weeks of Inspiration & Action Can Lead You to Your Dreams, lizhester.com

Links to other sites are not allowed in the body of the quote. In the tag section they will still probably still be removed.

Hi!
I had shared this quote from Craving U, but unfortunately there's a typo: “Marika could feel herself cocking the trigger of a loaded gun and pointing it at herself, because the truth could be A too shocking revelation, something that would shake their lives to the core... but lies were just a dead-end alleyway that offered no way out.”

The quote should be:
“Marika could feel herself cocking the trigger of a loaded gun and pointing it at herself, because the truth could be too shocking a revelation, something that would shake their lives to the core... but lies were just a dead-end alleyway that offered no way out.”
Could you please correct it on my behalf?

Thanks a million!

I accidentially placed two quotes under the wrong author's name. I put it under Edith Nesbit https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
But in reality they belong to E.Nesbit

If you could correct them that'd be great.
