Xiao Di (puxlit) | 4 comments For work #43577077, please delete editions #10117306 and #9360750, so that they merge with edition #18334317. Thanks in advance!

Alex | 2736 comments I know something needs to be deleted, but not sure exactly what.
This record has the ISBN10:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
This record has the ISBN13:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
This record had them both, before being blanked and later repurposed for a different edition:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

Both the first two editions' covers are covers for a different edition, 0-373-70720-7, as evidenced by the 70720 that is legible beneath the price in the top right corner.

Separated from the unrelated editions.

Thank you!

Alex | 2736 comments Please merge this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
(Cropped ISBN13 in ISBN10 field)

With this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
(Full ISBN13)

Editions separated from greater work. Please recombine with "The Origin of Species".

Thank you!

Alex | 2736 comments Please delete this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
And this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The one they should be merged into, probably, is the one that is already default.

These are not valid records, they are something weird that popped out of the amazon_kcw importer.

Thank you!

R.J. Askew (rjaskew) | 2 comments I think I need a librarian's help. I just want to change my profile pic and I can't do it. Something about copyright? Also I want to remove the points from my name which is R. J. Askew. Again I can't execute this simple change. I do not know how to contact the mysterious librarians. Thanks!

Deon (deonva) | 3718 comments 680, this thread is for deleting books, please start a new thread in regards to your questions unrelated to this topic

The points are to GR policy, they must stay
You need to contact support, as librarians are unable to edit GR author profiles.

Ere (erekanezawa) | 56 comments Basically because of page number/pubblication date and missing or uncorrect isbn, I think this
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
and this
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

are duplicates for this
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

so please merge/delete the first two! Thank you!

It took a while to tidy up all Wolf Children related comics and books but I guess it was worth it.

Renske | 12222 comments 693 It seems the librarian who created the ACE has not been on Goodreads for some time.
In the change log of the original edition I see that there have been some changes of the cover of that edition. So it is most likely the ACE was created when a different cover was on the original edition. If the current cover is the right cover for that edition, the ACE and the original edition can be merged.
I hope someone else can check that, I'm a bit too busy to do that.

Thanks for the help, but for my own future knowledge, could you tell me how the following red paperback book of Carrie, was part of this process.

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

The second link I posted now redirects to it, although my links Id is 16054574, the very one you deleted. May be a default redirect, but is shows you recently combined this paperback book of Carrie, so I'm wondering why.

I read all your changes for both edition in the "librarian change log"

I'm just trying to learn here. If this needs to be in a personal message or an new thread, that's fine too.


message 688: by Melody (last edited Dec 24, 2014 05:00AM) (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments i did not do anything to that edition. I merged a duplicate of a french edition and the one you posted.

First by separating the editions that need to be merged. Then deleting the duplicate so that the reviews are merged to the proper edition. Then by recombining. The link to the deleted edition will then take you to the default (the most shelved) edition.


message 689: by Mike (last edited Dec 24, 2014 05:21AM) (new)

Mike | 119 comments Understood. It's an auto direct, in programing, for ID's that do not exist, as you deleted it during you process of merging.

Everything else is what I do, as well. I just thought I may have missed something.

I'll add the better quality photo now.

Thanks for the help and explanation, Melody.

PS. My 16 year old said to tell you, "Elvis Rocks!!"

wrong isbn, it looks like it's a duplicate for this

Thank you for your help!


message 691: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments Why do you think it is a wrong ISBN?


message 692: by Ere (new)

Ere (erekanezawa) | 56 comments I can't find any reference online with those two isbn.
But thank you for the question since I pasted the wrong link, oops!

Wrong isbn reference https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Right one (Kindle version) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Thank you!

Gerald Posner (geraldposner) New to Goodreads so sorry for what might seem like a basic request - I am trying to delete three books listed as mine, which are not correct.
- Goodnight Cinderella
- Robinson-Patman ACT
- The Teenager's Guide to the Law

Also, there is one book listed "Ross Perot and Third-Party Politics" - I am not quite sure why it is listed as that. The correct book, "Citizen Perot: His Life and Times" is correctly listed.

Many thanks for any assistance.
Gerald Posner
PS I know it is Xmas eve - so Happy Holidays :-)


message 695: by Gerald (new)

Gerald Posner (geraldposner) Sorry, but having trouble removing my name listed incorrectly as a co-author on a book. The book is 'The Teenagers Guide to the Law,' and the author is correctly listed as Gabrielle J. Posner (who I do not know, nor am related to). I am listed as the co-author. No matter what I do to try an delete my name, I get an error message. The page on which I am trying to edit my name is at https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/1...

Many thanks for any assistance (especially since I have the poor timing of posting this on Christmas Eve :-)
Thanks in advance

- Goodnight Cinderella and Robinson-Patman Act are no longer appearing under your page.

- "Ross Perot and Third-Party Politics" is listed with that title everywhere - which must mean that the title for that ISBN must have been deposited that way.
Publisher: Random House Trade (Jun 1996)
Hardback
ISBN-10: 0614957591
ISBN-13: 9780614957594

The book with title "Citizen Perot: His Life and Times" has a completely different ISBN and publication date
Publisher: Random House Inc (T) (Aug 1996)
Hardback
ISBN-10: 0679447318
ISBN-13: 9780679447313

Therefore item with isbn 9780614957594 is showing the correct details.

Merry Christmas
