Gordonc Howdy, looking for a librarian to fix a quote I submitted. Thanks!

Associate this quote with its originating book:

message 403: by Aelvana (new)

Aelvana | 6 comments I forgot to check the capatcha the first time around and it erased the book from this although it kept the author. The quote is from Tui T. Sutherland's Shadow Falling (Avatars #2). I can't add it back since I submitted it so I need someone else to fix it. Thanks!

Paige (paige-elisa) | 1 comments Hello! I posted this quote a while ago: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/6204...

It posted directly from my Kindle and for some reason shows up as Anonymous. Could someone please fix that? It's by Leo Tolstoy, from Anna Karenina. Page 296 in my Kindle edition (Chapter 26).

Thank you!

Jadeite Sandiego | 2 comments Is it possible to delete this quote “You’re the purest, most genuine thing that ever happened to me.” - Caleb” ― L. Duarte, Fall Out Girl

I unintentionally doubled my quotes so I want to remove the other one with double apostrophe at the end of the quote.

Thanks for the help!

Melissa (melissa_jagears) | 8 comments Could I have several quotes attributed to me deleted? It seems someone didn't know what they were doing with their ereader and just randomly highlighted and posted clips of sentences from Love by the Letter.

https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...

There are 6 of them with no likes that are simply random selections. Thanks!

Geoff Glenister | 12 comments Could someone please edit this quote:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7002...

Kindle was behaving strangely for this one, and I ended up with the following:

"themselves selves"

It happened a few other times with this quote, but I caught the others.

George R.R. Martin
“There is only one god and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: “Not today.”

Removed. Finally.

Edit: well, after 35 minutes the quote is still there...

Agreed. And gone.


message 436: by Kachi (new)

Kachi A | 2 comments Hi, could you please help edit this quote https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7078... The part where it says "desperationis" should read "desperation is" and the em-dash there should immediately follow "is" and be followed by "energy" (i.e. no spaces)

cheers

General proverbs, by definition, do not have a notable author. Deleting.

Similarly, quotes should not be added to Anonymous, unless they come from a specific book attributed to that author.

Ok, then these should also be deleted:
