karlos | 4 comments There are three identical editions for this book. This one is the most complete, and should be allowed to stand; the other two are basically clones without any information. The book has only been published in one edition so far.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #173 - Not Done, since I cannot guarantee that the book has not been released as an ebook and not just a Kindle. There may not be an ISBN assigned, but that does not mean there is not an ebook edition out there.

Found another duplicate under that book that I merged also.

Moved the ISBN13 to the edition with the ISBN10, since it was here first.

I ended up leaving the other edition though, and marked it as an ACE, because things on the cover looked shifted, and the color was significantly different (Yes I know it could have been just faded out).

Liralen | 8224 comments Could a superlibrarian possibly have another look at 138? I don't think there's a definite answer for it yet.

Thanks!

dely | 127 comments Edition without data: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It should also be combined with the other editions: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Ju Ephraime (juephraime) | 29 comments Why does GRs allow any and anybody to post books, but the author can't update his/her own book? I now have two versions of my books up there, one with the incorrect cover and I can't delete, neither can I combine it.


message 185: by Ju (new)

Ju Ephraime (juephraime) | 29 comments B00S6R6O7C This is a duplicate copy of my book with the wrong book cover and neither me or my publisher put it up there.


thanks

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments 192 I combined One Dance With a Stranger for you: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
and updated the paper back edition for you. The "duplicate" copy seems to be an Alternate Cover Edition but I'll leave it for superlibrarians to work on.

It was imported from Amazon after the publication date, which means it was listed with that cover. Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have. Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition. See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85....

If you need assistance with adding a new edition, please start a new thread.


message 189: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12222 comments 181 The policies about when magazines are deleted are not clear enough to me that I can say something about it.

182-183 done

184-186 Those are not duplicates, but valid editions that needed to be combined. I combined them. If you need help with combining start a new thread or use one of the threads for combine requests

187-191 done

195 done


message 190: by Grace (new)

Grace (justonce) | 66 comments Thanks Renske. I don't understand the difference between the example in #183 and #184-186 being "valid editions that need to be combined". I thought that was what was happening in this thread.

I'm not a librarian...how do you know whether to post something in the "delete" thread or a "combine" thread?

Sammi (Sammi-N) | 1 comments Hi there, i was wondering if you could help me here.

This is the main author profile:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

This is a duplicate author profile which needs to be deleted as the author stated they dont want it:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

She said she sent in a request for a author name change ( from Faye Cross to Gemma Newey)as she no longer wishes to write under a false name but the duplicate profile was made instead. Both she and i have attempted to update her profile but it states she must seek a librarian and it advises me the author must do it, so at the moment we are at a loss.

If you could offer me any advise it would be much appreciated.

I have the new book covers which have been added, i believe they need to be made primary. Its just confusing as the book covers now state a different author to her main profile page.

Thank you,

Lily

Renske | 12222 comments 198 With #183 those two editions from the links were not duplicates, but the single edition was a duplicate of another edition, so I merged it into that edition.

Merging is when we deleted an edition is such way the reviews are moved to a different edition and are not lost.
Combining is linking edition together so they show as editions of the same work.

A valid edition has data that makes clear it is different from other editions, while a duplicate is missing those data. Editions with each a different ISBN are valid editions, or with a different cover. But a edition with only a title and author is a duplicate of editions with more data. Or a book without ISBN but all other data the same as an edition with ISBN is also a duplicate.

199 First, please don't make such changes to a profile, it doesn't help solving such issues and leads only to confusion.
Did the author ask in this group for a change or to the staff? The policy is that if an author publish under different names we keep those names. The only way an except could be possible is if the staff would agree. And librarians can't do merges with a Goodreads author profile, so this thread can't help you.

Betty Larrea (bettylarrea) | 7 comments It seems that my two listings were combined UNDER THE WRONG ISBN NUMBER PLEASE CHANGE IT. I have placed asterisks on the ***CORRECT LISTING which is this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Please remove the duplicate copy of the book titled Lucinda's Magical Yoga Adventure. I accidentally created another book title by hitting the back button to correct the ISBN and it made another listing I was trying to edit the ISBN whch i entered in the wrong location. the other one at this URL PLEASE REMOVE this one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... needs to be removed or combined so that ONLY ONE listing shows up for this title.


Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Betty Larrea

Sarah Schmitt (sarahjschmitt) | 4 comments Jessica Taylor emailed me to remove Wandering Wild from GR (It's an EgmontUSA book and her agent told her to figure out how to take it down.) As I am not a super librarian, I can not. However, if a Super Librarian could do so, I know she would appreciate it!

Here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #207 - Reverted some changes on one of the editions, because it was changing the book.

What is the reason for removing it? I am asking because it will probably just get re-created by an import, since Amazon has it on their site.

If it is a legal thing she needs to contact support.
