Ann In rererence to my review of a book by Neil deGrasse Tyson, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2..., I added a quotation I liked, but attributed it correctly to its original author, Rainer Maria Rilke, from the book Letters to a Young Poet. Tyson quoted Rilke and correctly attributed it to its source, but I tried three times to do the same, and every time Goodreads reverted it to the incorrect attribution established by two earlier readers who "liked it." Is there any way to fix this? Or at least override it on my own page? I have an image to uphold, and I should think Goodreads does too. :-)
