Diomedes | 1 comments I would like to add the following contributor names

Monique Danis
Olivier Gamelin
David Hoon Kim
Florence Chadronnet

to the "author" field of the following entry

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

as they were left out by whoever created the entry. But when I try to do so, I am told "Your permissions will only allow the editing of the metadata". Is there a way for me to add them myself or, if not, could someone who does have "permission" please add the above names. I would greatly appreciate it.

Suzanne Hoffman | 5 comments I have the opposite problem. I want to streamline the listing and remove some of the contributors, but I keep getting an "error" message.

Are you talking about this book, another book....?

We would not remove any valid contributors. If you link to the book we can see if there are any that don't belong.

Suzanne Hoffman | 5 comments My book. I entered just about everyone except my vet when I first listed the book (my first book) in 2016. So I'm trying to edit my own listing.

I have removed the editors as we wouldn't include them on that type of book.

Apparently you have also contacted staff, because an employee already removed the contributors on 4 December: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

(Since you have more than one book listed, in future please provide a link to the book in question.)

Suzanne Hoffman | 5 comments Thank you. I hadn't seen a response. Still learning to navigate.
