Jennifer Miller (jennifermillerwrites) | 5 comments Can you help me? There is more than one Jennifer Miller and every time my books go live, they put it under the wrong Jennifer. I always add my books myself under the correct profile. Can you please remove this one? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

#479 - Done
#480 - 1/2 Done, 1 edition will not merge, so adding to list.
#485 - That is actually the only ebook edition with that cover (The other editions talk about number of copies sold in the upper left), so should not be deleted.
#486 - Done
#487 - Done
#497 - Seperated and fixed book data, it should have been listed as a Kindle edition. Also, set a librarian note to note combine with full novel.
#498 - Will Not Merge
#499 - Done
#500 - That edition is marked as an ACE by another Super, so I am leaving it alone.
#501 - Done, actually looked like a unique edition, then I found one with ISBN and no info that matched once I updated book.
#510 - Will not merge
#511 - Got the first one, but was not sure if the 2nd ones were the same book, because of the language (Titles were not exactly the same).
#512/513 - Done
#515 - Will not merge

You sure those are the same? Yes the color tone is slightly different (could be scanner), but main reason I ask is the significant page count difference.

#476
These are isbn's and pagenr's for De minnaar, all checked on Koninklijke Bibliotheek (reliable, acceptable source):

9789041330437 149
9789029513906 184
9789029513319 129
9789029513296 129
9789029079334 143
(9789029086134 143 only via bookseller, no acceptable source for page count)

The Belgian Newspaper "De Morgen" has published a non-isbn edition with 110 pages. I have no acceptable source for "De Morgen" editions.
Non-acceptable source: http://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/boek...

The edition in #476 is added by a user, cover is added by another user, pagecount is added by a third user more than a year later.

Facedeer | 12 comments These two are by a fanfic author who's decided he doesn't want his books listed here. He asked me to help get them removed via private message over at the fanfic site these were posted on, but he's created an account here so you can confirm with him directly if third parties can't request removals like this.

Edit:

It looks like there might be a bout of misinformation going around the blogosphere right now regarding fanfiction and Goodreads. There's a shady site called ebooks-tree.com that's illegally hosting a bunch of fanfictions, but some of the posts I've seen have been conflating Goodreads with ebooks-tree. I think this might be the cause of this request, I'm following up with the author to make sure he actually knows what's going on here. I'll repost this request if he confirms.

If he decides he really does want them removed, this thread is not the place. If a fanfic author wants their fic(s) removed, they should use the Contact Us link on the Help page.

A. (archipelago) | 6 comments This book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) is technically a podcast, not an audio book. Are we counting podcasts as audio books? Not a sarcastic question, it could be an interesting discussion, especially with some authors creating books that are ONLY audio versions.

Generally no, unless they are audiobooks of print/ebooks (or shorts thereof).

Deletion pending.

536 If those changes are made after publication this edition stays on Goodreads. if there changes are made before publication you can better start a new thread to ask for help with updating the book.

Hello Philip, thank you for your help.

Regarding book 2, I found it out as I was adding one of the missing ISBN to the right record (Goodreads gave me the red message that said there was already one book with that isbn).
The title was slightly different because they used also the series title into the book title, and added a non-existing english description of the content in the title itself (the "JLPT N3 grammar" thing).
Before asking help yesterday, I edited the two records and let the right one with cover and both isbn codes, and removed the isbn to the "wrong" one.
I edited it again and I can assure you there is only one edition of that book (and of all the series of "Nihongo Somatome N1/N2/N3" books by that publisher), and it's only in Japanese.
Before posting this very comment, I edited the title of the one that has to be deleted/merged.
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
Hope this explanation will help! :)

Here's some links that prove it:
