.. (saraabdullah) | 57 comments Hi,
I couldn't separate this edition from the rest because it has the highest number of reviews, can a super librarian do that please?

You can separate all the other editions instead.

That was a good idea! I did it. Thanks!

Superlibrarians cannot do it either. :-) Glad it worked!

Jaycee Weaver (jayceeweaver) | 6 comments Hi! Somehow my book Love, Laughter, and Luminarias was merged with my novelette, Just Say Yes. These are two completely separate works. I found a note requesting the merge from someone else, but I'm not sure why. They aren't related and now the reviews are confusing to readers. I looked into it to see if there was anything I can do as the author, but realized pretty quickly I needed the help of a kind librarian. Thank you so much in advance!

It is subscription-only, which disqualifies it as a book as per Goodreads policy.

It is being merged so that readers don't lose their reviews.

Thank you, Scott. How do I go about simply deleting the entire title of Just Say Yes? The only reason I added it was so the reviews would be available, but now they're cluttering up the other book. I've seen other authors list their subscriber-only books without this issue, so I didn't realize it was disqualified. I'd rather remove it from GoodReads completely so as to preserve the correct reviews on the correct book.

It is queued to be removed / merged, but it has too many shelvings for a librarian to remove. It will disappear soon.

Please do not change librarian notes.

Thank you, Suzi. I apologize for not knowing the etiquette. I appreciate your help.

We can't catch everything.

I was trying to keep you from loosing your reviews. I couldn't figure out how to match up the subscription edition with any other title.

Jaycee Weaver (jayceeweaver) | 6 comments Thank you both, Scott and Suzi. I hope I haven’t misstepped or misspoken to offend in any way. I appreciate what you’re trying to accomplish and recognize how the contributions you make here help the community succeed. I’m totally okay losing the reviews on Just Say Yes. If I’d known subscriber only books weren’t compliant, I certainly wouldn’t have added it in the first place. Now I know! Thank you again.
