Ninja Neko | 171 comments Not sure where to post this: I was wondering if a super librarian could help clean up this static list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...
Someone added an incorrect #101 in here... and there may be more problems (as someone hinted in the comments). But I don't seem to be able to edit this list myself.
The original data can be found here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/to...

Hi I checked the BBC link & the Star Trek book definitely not on the top100 or top 200 so I have deleted. I'm just a regular librarian.
The first 10 are definitely correctly correct. If you spot any other errors before Monday your time or Tuesday mine (i'm going away) let me know. :)

I think I have thoroughly messed up this list! Page 1 correct but Page 2 is duplicates & as I have gone over 100 edits I can't fix, so if anyone can delete the second page it should be correct.

Ninja Neko | 171 comments Thanks for the fix Christmas Carol! I didn't think it was possible to delete as a normal librarian - I've found the link eventually :)
Now the remaining problem is that "Alice's adventures in wonderland" is on #100 when it should be on #30... is there anyone who knows how to reorder these?

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2404 comments I think we can alter it but probably shouldn't! (like you I did see Alice at 1= earlier)

I'm going to leave for a super to correct "Alice." I just gave myself a fright - was looking on the now non-existent page 2 & thought I had deleted the entire list!

Edit: also #20 would probably be better as Captain Corelli's Mandolin as that is the way it is on the BBC link.

Sigh. I meant well.

Ninja Neko | 171 comments No worries, it's better than it was before!


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2404 comments Just bumping this up to see if it can be fixed.

Alice in Wonderland now at 100 on this list.

Is the only solution is to delete the list & start again?
