Abdulrahman Eid (abdulrahman0eid) | 4 comments P.S

Additionally, I kindly request:
1. That this new Turkish edition be linked to the original Arabic book page on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
2. That my Goodreads account (this one from which I’m writing) be added as the translator of the new edition. https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1...

Abdulrahman Eid (abdulrahman0eid) | 4 comments It has been more than two weeks since I submitted a request to add my translated edition to Goodreads, but it has not yet been added. During this time, I’ve noticed that many other books — dozens, even hundreds — have been approved and added after my submission, though my request was made earlier.

I have carefully followed all your guidelines and ensured that my request meets the stated requirements. I kindly ask you to please review and add my book as soon as possible.

Eline | 9330 comments Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog (+-5000 requests). Most librarians work from last activity to recent activity. Once your request has been completed you will get a message here. Meanwhile if you want to read more about why your request hasn’t been completed yet, you can follow this link: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... . Thank you for your understanding.

That said... your request is not complete yet. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library, Worldcat or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).
