About 175, it says 2nd edition in that brown box but everything else is same with the other edition. Should it still be in the goodreads? I'm asking because it looked like duplicate for me. Or should we accept that is a alternate cover edition?

Hello, can you please remove B086ZZ7RHB from my author profile "Jasmine Young"? This book was created by accident in trying to add "Queen of Diamonds" to my profile; instead, the ASIN entered in the title created a new book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Can we please add Queen of Diamonds to my profile in lieu? (It should appear along with Stormfire):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Thank you!
The following book has two Kindle editions although there is only one listed in Amazon and the ASIN number of one of the editions doesn't exist.Nada me importa más que tú

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...stray dataless edition, please delete. request was already posted (#361) but skipped because the deleter was unsure about it. I don't understand why, as there's literally no data on the edition. I hope the misunderstanding can be cleared up.
Librarians: I have a new edition of my book. When people search for my book, they get the old edition/cover. It's not even in print. That is this:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
The one that should be th default when searching isis this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Can you help?

That does not involve deleting a book, so this is not the right thread. You can set the default with #4 in this link: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

507Individual editions of In Flanders Field have been combined with collections. I can't separate one as it is the most popular edition.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

& a PDF with a Wikipedia link https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
This is separate. I can only find on You Tube

Edit: had another look at & realise one edition is a collection, so have recombined.
Thanks for your help with this!
Can you combine these too or just delete the ebook? Someone made a new entry for the ebook version. Original: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

Please delete, thank you!
Need a superlibrarian's help, please. I've already separated out the two editions that need to be merged (they are combined only with each other now), but am unable to delete the one with bad info because it apparently has more than five reviews. Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (which will merge it into the one with correct info). Thanks!
This edition of Mary Stewart's "Madam, Will You Talk" mistakenly has the ASIN in the ISBN field: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Unfortunately, when you search for that ASIN, you get that listing rather than the proper listing for the ASIN, which is here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
I tried to change the "wrong" page (the first URL) to put the ASIN in the ASIN field, but it wouldn't let me because there already is a page for that ASIN (the second URL.) Probably what needs to happen is that the first URL gets deleted, so that the second, correct URL will start showing up when someone searches for the ASIN. But I think that decision should be made by a superlibrarian, not by me.
Before I discovered the ASIN-as-ISBN error in the first URL, I added a cover (it didn't have one) from Amazon's current page for this book. If someone does delete the first URL page, it would be nice to add the cover as an alternate cover to the second URL page (the one with the ASIN in the right place.)
Thank you.
GoodReads don't seem to be managing their database properly! Please could I ask for the old copy of "Humanoid Artificial Intelligence" to be removed. It is a duplicate. The old book has a black and whitish cover. Please could you attach the author details (sent many times now) for Robert J Allen, the author of Humanoid Artificial Intelligence. ThanksI am fed up - I have asked many times for this and been directed to instructiond that are nonesence to me. Please finally do these changes yourself. I even founf it hard to find where to post this and then how to create a post! The website is HORRIBLE.

I don't know what troubles you have had before but all you need to do is ask here (in the group) to have something fixed and it is usually a simple matter to edit.

Sorry for so many requests! Thank you to whoever is going through these. If I am wrong, please do let me know but it seems like a lot of the textbooks I am checking into for education are duplicated? Here's another one: Main: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Samantha wrote: "ah thanks! I imagine 504 and 509 are the same problem then"Yep. If it has an ISBN, 99% of the time it's a valid edition.

Same cover, different angle. The purple thing on the left is in fact the book spine. Legamantul iubirii
You can see it in this image

There's only one edition of this book in my country but I can understand your hesitation. No problem, it's OK with me. Thanks!
These books are duplicates:https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=Pr...
even if this one Prizonierul dorintelor mele
has an incorrect publisher listed. This error is present even on amazon.com, lol. ISBN is correct though...
Proof can be found on publisher's site:

Also, could you remove ”Romannian Edition” from its title if you can't delete the book?

My request was about merging/deleting one of them. I anticipated some arguments against it because they don't seem to have the same publisher, that's all.
Aqua wrote: "My request was about merging/deleting one of them.

I didn't realize you meant the one that was pictured in addition to the one by itself. Thanks.
