For editions to be merged with something other than the work default, please remember to separate out the two editions for merging before posting in this thread.

NOTE: This thread is for requesting the deletion of true duplicates -- two entries for the same edition of a book. If you need help with anything else (e.g.: moving books off an author's page where they have appeared in error, author disambiguation, combining editions, etc.) please start a NEW THREAD in this folder.


Elizabeth (Alaska) no details, please merge with default

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments Are these meant to be merged?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

^The first one should be listed as an ebook instead right? Since it has a ISBN instead of an ASIN.


Elizabeth (Alaska) The lack of details is in the default edition.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

This edition is the only one the publisher produced in 2008, the date of the default, and these shelvings/reviews should be merged with the default.

For future reference, would you prefer that the details be moved to the default to make it easier for you to merge?

Ninja Neko | 171 comments Can a super delete this edition please? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... There's no info. It's already combined with the correct editions.

Mike | 119 comments Super needed.

Can you delete the following book

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

It has a 9 digit ISBN 044050571
If you add the checksum digit 0440505712 you will find the edition already exists with a better cover pic, and is a separate book, Vol 1, not Vol 2 as shown below.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

I ripped the definition from it and added it to my personal copy as it was a near perfect fit. Nothing left to salvage.

5 nothing needed, one a kindle, the other paperback


message 15: by ReadingFrog (new)

ReadingFrog | 139 comments Hello. Could a superlibrarian please merge these editions? The picture for the edition with the most reviews also contains the binding of the book, but they are still the same edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

It can then be recombined with this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

Thank you.


message 16: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments #12 I think its already been done because that book has a proper ISBN.


message 18: by Lobstergirl (last edited Mar 16, 2015 12:22AM) (new)

Lobstergirl https://www.goodreads.com/book/combin...

These Donald Barthelme stories have not been independently published and can be merged with the following story collections:

Chablis, into Forty Stories

The Balloon
Game
The Indian Uprising
Me and Miss Mandible
The School
into Sixty Stories

I Bought a Little City, into Amateurs


message 19: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12220 comments 6 Do you have a source for that?

7-8 done

9 Someone had changed the ASIN to the ISBN. That edition is merged.

10 done.

11 done. For me, with a book with such a small number of shelvings and a better cover on the right edition, moving data is not needed. With editions with a huge number of shelvings a reversed merge can really reduce the time the system needs to do the merge.

12-13 done

15 done


message 20: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12220 comments 17 done

18 done, except for 'the school' as that is clearly published separately.


message 21: by Lobstergirl (last edited Mar 16, 2015 12:38AM) (new)

Lobstergirl Oh yes, I typed that before I saw another, separate entry for it. (Even though it looks like I typed it afterward, I pre-typed it in Notepad.)

Please delete this book. I created a new edition, but then I saw that this edition is already in the database.

please delete this one.


message 33: by Barbara (new)

Barbara | 17 comments Could a super librarian delete one of these books? It's the same edition (same ISBN), but I can't delete one of them because of the many reviews.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Afterwards, I'll add the exact dates/cover to the remaining edition as here: http://d-nb.info/105060587X

Thanks!


message 34: by David (new)

David | 1 comments I added this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
but it should have been a new edition, not a entirely new book. Could you either please delete or change to be a new edition?
Thanks and apologies.


message 35: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26448 comments #36 no reason to delete. Combined with the other editions.

In the future please:
1) Since you are a librarian separate out the editions that are to be merged.

2) Provide a link to the book not the edit page.

message 42: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments Its not letting me separate them properly sorry!

But merge:

This one has correct ASIN: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
This one has the ASIN in the ISBN13 box: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Combine back with:
