Hey, valued superlibrarians, can you please help me with a merge?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... is a duplicate of https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6.... It needs to be merged, and then combined into the main group of books: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

They used to have the same ISBN in the database (one ISBN10, one ISBN13) and I've moved both of the numbers to the correct edition.

Done. Next time, please make note of the ISBN split but do not move them. Thanks.

Not sure I understand, if the same edition has two entries, because someone recorded it with the ISBN10 and someone with the ISBN13, should we keep both of them as is?

Or do you mean, the person that does the merge should do it? Sadly it's often that you start doing the merge and gets blocked at the final step and that was the case here. So then we should reset it as it was?
