Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments 1 This just looks like a lengthy few pages from someone's pdf, pasted with broken lines at start and end.

2 Same quote repeated.

2 A quote by someone who can't spell has created a new author. I am sure this just needs to be transferred to the correct version of the author.
They also mis-spelled a tag, should be long weekends .

Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments 1 This lengthy quote has no tags apart from page numbers. Which are not going to be too helpful. I'm searching under Christmas Day, and the server is picking out words, but that would be an irrelevant tag. Suggest war, WW2, London Blitz, etc.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1088...


2 Two identicals need to be merged

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1065...

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9547...

3 This one appears to have the book title in the body of the quote.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1036...


4 One word quote.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9082...

5 Four words, not much sense of anything. Could be merged if there is a longer version.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8214...


6 Hanging last word.

Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments These all relate to the same title.

1 Someone has been pasting entire pages in from this book, many such. The author might not like this as you could read much of the content this way. And they are not quotable.

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

2 Short quote from that lot needs a space inserted

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7032...

3 Spaces needed and spellcheck.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8827...

2 Same with this.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9678...

3 Tag, christmas is mis-spelled

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/4480...

4 Author's name has no capital letters

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1202...

5 These 3 are given as by an author, then the book title is given, plus author's name. I don't know the book, but seems from the cover the author's name should not be included in the title.

Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments 1 Author and page numbers in quote.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8143...

2 This piece has a tag which needs a space to make it a person's first and last name. And maybe you could provide a more useful tag too.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/2165...

3 Author given with no capital letters.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/6024...

4 I see no need for extra spaces between lines, this is not poetry.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/3098...

5 Spell check - thatt - maybe this is taken from a handwritten note in story, but otherwise it can be corrected.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8583...


6 I don't see a need for the extra spacing between lines. Not a poem.

#396 Nira Quote fragments with 0 likes deleted at the request of the author. Please allow at least 20 minutes for all the quotes to disappear.

Just for your information, anyone can add a quote on Goodreads. Fragments often seem to be from kindle highlighting. If you get any more just post in this folder.

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂ | 2374 comments #397 Skipping - at least for now.
Do I assign these quotes to the King James Bible?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
#398.1, 398.2, 398.3 Done.

The rest of #398 - I've had a quick look at the first six & with one exception they all seem short enough to me. I will wait for rivka to give a ruling on when a quote becomes more like an extract.

Edit; This one seems a bit long https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8335...

I agree that long one is too long; it's an extract, not a quote. The others may need a bit trimmed off the end, but I would not be in favor of deleting them.

Thanks rivka - regarding #397 am I correct about where I assign those biblical quotes?

Biblical quotes get assigned to Anonymous. As to which version of the Bible to link them to, that depends on which one they are from, but that one seems like a good general candidate.

BettyF | 1 comments Hi,
I have a request. I posted a quote but I get the author wrong. It is quote from book Všem sráčům navzdory aneb Válka, o které nechcete nic vědět by Jan Urban. I put there wrong Jan Urban.
It would be great, if you can edit that quote.

The correct book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

#398.6 Done
#398.7 Done
#398.8 Done
#398.9 Deleted extract not a quote.

I did the rest in that section except I deleted another one that was an extract.

In future Clare (or anyone requesting assistance with quotes) could you number the requests? Just
1
2
3
4
5

6
7
8

With a space break every fifth one will be fine.

I will mention that the more requests you put in a post, the less librarians will want to do them. :)

The list of authors quotes. I'll make a note of them, but that is quite a few pages! I won't have time to look at them for quite a while.

R.M. Archer (rmarcher) | 10 comments Hi!

I have multiple quotes that are attributed to the wrong Andrew Peterson (and thus not connected with the proper book, because... the proper book didn't come up). I saw that authors with the same name are differentiated by additional spaces between the first and last name, but no amount of spaces brought up the correct author when I tried. :P

Anyway, these quotes are all from Adorning the Dark: Thoughts on Community, Calling, and the Mystery of Making
1 - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1098...
2 - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1098...
3 - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1098...
4 - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1098...

And this one is from The God of the Garden: Thoughts on Creation, Culture, and the Kingdom
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1108...

Both by Andrew Peterson
(Oh, and this link shows the name with the spaces, so now I'll know to include seven spaces when adding future quotes!)
