Jacqueline Francis (loveromance446) | 11 comments Hi
I raised the issue below:

I manually put my book up. It looks Goodreads, has assigned my book to another author named Jacqueline Francis, though I don't understand how as I brought it in with the ASIN number. There appears to be multiple books from multiple Jacquelines on this profile

The one on my profile is here - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

The incorrectly assigned to another author is here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Is there any way these two can be merged? As an unknown author, I don't want to lose reviews or ratings, so I would prefer not to delete either.


A librarian was kind enough to help and merged it for me but her response was:
I moved the edition to your profile and combined it, though the one without an ISBN have to be merged by a superlibrarian as it has too many shelvings for me to merge.
At the moment, on my profile, it is showing zero ratings for this book which you can only see when you click on it that there are 91 ratings. Only the reviews and ratings from the one version is showing even though they are all been counted. Can this please be fixed so all ratings and reviews show.

Thanking you in advance.

Renske | 12220 comments Copying links from other messages doesn't work, as you only copy the visible part, it will go to a different book. But i found your other message.

The duplicate edition never had an ASIN or ISBN listed, so the automatic import still happened. Merge done.

Jacqueline Francis (loveromance446) | 11 comments Thank you.

I just wanted to check though. The overall rating is 91 with 25 reviews, but when you actually go down, it shows the 68 ratings and 11 reviews which was just from the one version. The other 14 reviews are not showing. Also the book is showing zero ratings on my profile. Does Goodreads just need time to sync before it shows the other reviews/ ratings or has the other one been deleted?
