book keeps saying there's a link in the description

[Samantha]

This book's summary comes from the Amazon listign and isn't actually a summary. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Here's the summary, from google. Whenever I try to replace it with this summary I get an error

Kikuchi was one of the American-born majority of more than 100,000 Japanese Americans who were moved from Pacific Coast states to government relocation centers in 1942 out of declared ''military necessity.'' Presented here is the absorbing diary Kikuchi kept from December 7, 1941, to September, 1942, shortly before and during the time he and his family were forced to live in a converted horse stall at Tanforan Race Track. Kikuchi was a twenty-six-year-old graduate student in social welfare at the University of California when war broke out, and his wry observations provide an alternative to both the official view of relocation and the uninformed outrage of many of its present-day critics.'

This confusing error happens when the description contains a period (.) followed by a non-space character. The Goodreads description-checking software mistakenly interprets this as a link to an external website.

EDIT -- IGNORE THIS INFO:
Try moving the period to the right of the closing quote -- that is, change "military necessity." to "military necessity".

Try removing the final single quote at the end of the description.

Tip for "next time": When you're editing a book record, double-check that there is a space after the end of each sentence. Many bot-imported Amazon descriptions are missing an inter-sentence space (or spaces). Unfortunately, GR doesn't stop the bot from importing an invalid description. Instead, the problem lurks until a GR librarian tries to make manual changes to a book -- even if they don't touch the description. The librarian must then fix the bot-imported description in order to save their changes. Sigh.

This isn't something for the supers. This should have been in https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...
Please move your question to that folder.
Also, don't forget that reviews are not to be included in the descriptions.

Another thing to look out for with periods is numbers. In many places instead of using a comma (123,123) they use a period (123.123).

Correction to my info in message 2:

I think the only problem is the final single quote. The ''military necessity." punctuation is okay. I just tried similar punctuation in my newest change, and Goodreads allowed it. Sigh of relief.

To move this question to the Questions (from Librarians only) folder, click the little (edit) after the post title, then select the other folder name.

Also, if this info answers your question / solves the problem, you can add (DONE) or (ANSWERED) to the topic title.
