Cherie | 842 comments Hi there,

I wanted to check if librarians can take edit requests to Listopia lists. I have tried contacting support, but I have not heard back in a few weeks. I wanted to remove a book from a list I created that doesn't fit the criteria, but I can't because it has too many votes/I didn't add it. Please let me know and thanks!

Hi Cherie
This is the best folder to put your request in.

In this thread I have suggested we need a folder for listopia edits
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

but I don't know when or if that will happen.

So yes librarians can do edits to Listopias. It won't be me though as the one time I did I messed up & a couple of other librarians had to fix it. 🤪

Please link to the listopia, link to the book you want removed. If it isn't obvious it is best to give the reason you want the book removed as well.

Be aware that almost everything is now very behind in this group. So this could be done for you within minutes or it may take weeks.

Merlin Franco (merlinfranco) | 1 comments Hello, My novel Saint Richard Parker has been wrongly added to the YA list. Requesting its deletion from the YA listopia list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

Book link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Would appreciate any help on this front

The moderator has created a folder for Listopias.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

You can edit the folder to this one - it would be more likely to be seen.

Merlin I would recommend deleting your post here & making a new post in this new folder.

Cherie | 842 comments Thank you for making the folder! Do you happen to know if there's anyone regularly checking the requests? I put two requests in it a while ago, but haven't had any responses.

Hi Cherie

I'll just quote from my original post.

A suggestion would be to become a librarian yourself. Hopefully if you mentioned an interest in looking after Listopias you would get a favorable response.

I would bet that granting librarian privileges is behind as well & you do have to pass a quiz which I've been told is quite hard.
