Please edit or correct or delete this quote. (part 6)

[Yancy]

Hi, I'd like to request a deletion of the quotes on this page, all belonging to me/my book. I'm having an agent look at it and they don't want any material on the internet at this point (I had self-published it previously). Thank you! https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes...

Hi Yancy

I've removed your quotes, but just to clarify - I was able to do that because they didn't have any likes. If they had been 'liked' by a member they would have to stay. :)

Edit: typo

[Yancy]

Thank you!

this one needs a super to delete https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8307...
That does not seem a quote meeting GR standards (a Seven Eleven Scholastic FB posting mentioned it https://www.facebook.com/711scholasti... but could only find a lot of online pictures showing it)

Last night, author J. Michael Straczynski discovered that a quote from his TV series Babylon 5 had been misattributed to Tennessee Williams.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/2366...

I see the listing has now been corrected, but the published source is incorrect. It can be found in the 2nd volume of Babylon 5 scripts here:

Thanks.

Hi B

This one has a huge amounts of likes so will need a Super to correct. (just answering so you know your request isn't being ignored) :)

Carol: The author had already been corrected, only the source needed fixing.

Emily: Thank you!

Sorry if I wasn't clear. As a regular librarian I couldn't edit anything to do with a quote with that many likes - not the author, not the source or correct any typos. The necessary field will not show for me.

[☕ Lachgas ♿]

that does not seem to be from a notable person either https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1109...
(will need a super also)

[B]

Ah, understood, but thank you for your attention. :)

Now if only I could get Quotefancy to address the issue... :-D

Hi. The quote at this URL (https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1369...) is not from the Iliad, it's from the movie Troy - is there a way to delete it?

[Lori Korleski]

I was trying to find the correct source for "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" and one of the first citations was https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...
Unfortunately, I did a search through the book that the quote supposedly came from, and it's not there.

[Antonia]

Please let me know if this would suit a different place better. I've found these "authors" which seem to post advertisements/spam as quotes.

Taking a look now...

Edit: This is the right place to report spammy quotes & I have deleted them. Thanks for reporting.

If you find more, could you please number them. Makes it a bit easier to keep track. :)

Edit: If you regularly find spammy quotes on your GR travels it might be best to give them their own threads. Removing them is a very easy fix for Librarians.

Maybe you have just not checked back on the other threads you posted in. We do not delete books from Goodreads just because they are out of print.

[Elizabeth]

I would like it to be deleted though. I removed it from everywhere else. I’m planning on redoing the story and everything but am not sure if I’ll be republishing or not. And I’d rather not have it on my profile if it’s not accessible for readers.

It is a record of a book that existed. Goodreads maintains records for editions that have been out of print for centuries.

Removing a book from retail sale is your prerogative as the author. But Goodreads does not remove out of print books.

[Elizabeth]

Alright, I understand. Thank you for your time.
(Not sure why o didn’t get notifications for the last few times I’ve posted, but I’m glad I did this time)

[Javed]

Thanks!

[Emily]

I deleted the quote. You should remove your phone number from this post, as this is a public and searchable forum.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Permission is irrelevant. Not meeting our notability criteria, however, is relevant. Deletion pending.

[FlightsofFancy]

Could somone please delete this quote? I added it myself but I messed up the time stamps (the quote represents a text message exchange.) I'd rather fix it myself by readding the quote later after it's deleted rather than list all the times here for someone else to have to add to it lol. Thank you :)

Duplicate request has been removed. To avoid confusion, please only post requests once. If a day or two have gone by with no reply, it's fine to bump your request up by responding to the same thread. Goodreads Librarians are volunteers, and some requests may take some time to get a reply.

So.... my duplicate post was deleted to avoid confusion even though it was actually a new thread in which I explained that it was a repost because I thought this one was dead, but nearly two days after deleting the new thread you still didn't have the time to just delete the quote?

Someone may want to review some of the H.G. Wells quotes, in particular "[a quote] about seeing a human being riding a bicycle for which neither I nor any other Wells scholar has been able to identify a source". Please read this short article in the Guardian.

This is my quote, and while I was posting it, it posted for a different author of the same name.

Hi FoF

We prefer to edit rather than delete quotes. I am happy to look at this for you if you post exactly what needs to be done.

Some further explanation about this group. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Please in particular read the introduction, #9 & #15.

Just for your information a thread, even a long running one, isn't closed unless it has a little padlock on it like there is in the thread I have linked to.

Also we don't like multiple requests because that can lead to multiple librarians tripping over each other on one request rather than helping several members.

& this is only anecdotal, but although every year there aren't many librarians around at Christmastime, for whatever reason there seem to be less librarians around than usual atm.

Hope this helps! :)

Hi Jonathan

I am just a regular librarian, as opposed to being a Super & am not an expert on Wells.

I have found the bicycle quote https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/3719...

I have added the tag "attributed no source" to this one

This quote "Good books are the warehouses of ideals." I can't find on Goodreads. Please post a link if you find it.

I have gone through the quotes with 0 likes (English language only) & removed single words, titles of books, etc & edited some the had a single word attached to a sentence quote, typos, etc, If there are any other H.g. Wells quotes, you think need editing please give a link.

I found the article very amusing btw. Thanks for the link.

Removed as you have posted two slightly different versions on your profile. https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...

Could you tell me which version was correct?

Also could you tell me the date your book was originally published?

Hi, I just did a Primo Levi deep dive after being troubled that I could not find this quote in either If This is a Man or The Truce: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8062...

It should be attributed to The Black Hole of Auschwitz

[Kirn]

Please delete the quote tagged "boys" on this page. https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...
It is an inaccurate quote and reflects views not shared by the author.

Is the quote said by a character in the book?

It's a partial quote, spoken by a character. The full sentence is "Those boys. [..]" which has been incorrectly reduced to "Boys. [..]"

I've edited it. If you would like to add another sentence before or after we can do that for context.

and needs to be merged with the correct wording:

The correct wording is "were not acted on" not "were not acted upon"
