Renske | 12223 comments 775-776 Done

777 that is strange that someone send you to this thread, as this thread never has been for edits, only for merging/deleting editions.

778 That is a valid pseudo-ISBN, one used by Kobo.

779 Done

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments @Renske Really? I have never seen that type before. It just kept saying "invalid ISBN number" whenever I tried to edit the rest of the information. Thanks for letting me know. I will remember that for the future!

Renske | 12223 comments 781 The script that checks the ISBNs doesn't understand those pseudo-ISBNs, the other from BN with 294 will give the same warning. It is also confusing that while you see the edit page again, your edits are saved.

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments @Renske Okay. Maybe someone should suggest that to the Goodreads team? Other librarians might get confused too. But thanks! :)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments Can this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... please be merged/combined with

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

I know they have different release dates so I think it needs just to be combined. Thanks. :)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments Can this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... please be merged

To separate...
Go to the books combine page, find the editions you want to separate. At the end of the list of editions is a link called separate tool.

Click on the separate tool link, then select the appropriate radio buttons for the two editions you wish to separate - and separate.


message 780: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments @Deon Thanks for letting me know. I do actually know how to do that, I am just confused to why @Renske wanted me to do that. :)


message 782: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12223 comments Rachel When we merge a edition, the reviews go to the most popular edition it is combined with at that moment. So if we want to merge an edition with an edition that is not the most popular edition, we separate the two editions form the other editions, do the merge and the reviews go to the right edition. After the merge is finished we combine it again with the other editions.


message 783: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments @Renske Oh! That makes a lot of sense. I am sorry I didn't really this. If I want to make a merging request then, do I do this from now on? :)


message 784: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments Do you want me to go back and do that to all my request that haven't been completed?? :)

Looks like some one has separated them from the books they where combined with.

Please repost the books they need to be combined with and then merged

Rachel all older request are now done. It happens more often that people forget it or don't know it, that is why we remember people about it once in a while.


message 788: by Kadri (new)

Kadri (giishu) | 3 comments Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

or merge it with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

There really is just one edition of that.

Thank you!

OK,

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
needs to be combined with
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

and

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
with
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I recombined them with the proper edition, but I don't know if it will stay that way.

Nan (xxmzsmilesxx) | 1167 comments I'm sorry to bother but I think you guys missed the request for 793-795


message 797: by Renske (last edited Oct 27, 2014 12:06AM) (new)

Renske | 12223 comments 823 It seems you replaced the BN ISBN with the other ISBN, why did you do that? As it is nearly always against our policies.

824 It seems they were already done, but it was not posted in the thread.


message 798: by Caro (new)

Caro | 177 comments Renske, I am sorry. Could it be fixed. I tried to get it back, but I still cannot. The BN ISBN will not save.


message 800: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments @Renske Thanks for that. I will keep it in mind to separate them from now on. So sorry for all that bother. :)
