Paolo Caracciolo | 199 comments Yesterday, while browsing the database, I have noticed something "strange". Some title was listed with "TestAsin_B00xxxxxxx_" written before the correct title and, when applicable, inside the title just before the series name. Here is an example:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

As a librarian I have corrected at least 40 titles, but, before I had started, there were almost 40 pages of them! And more then 30 are still there.

I have noticed that the "title source" for each and every one of those title was "amazon_kcw", so I assumed that the problem was due to an incorrect batch import of these titles.

There is someone that could please help?

Thank you
Paolo

I know Renske, and I am (more or less) doing it. I have opened the issue in order to signal the problem and look for someone who is capable to avoid it happening again in the future.

Bye
Paolo
