Sam (ecowitch) | 24 comments Please could you combine these two book editions, Lost Lives and Lost Lives the Stories of the Men, Women and Children Who Died As a Result of the Northern Ireland Troubles, they're the same book but the second is just an updated version, thanks

Eva-Marie Nevarez (evamarie3578) | 753 comments I got it Sam, one of the listings had the author by only last name but it's fixed now.

Mary Buckham (mary_buckham) | 19 comments Please combine INVISIBLE FATE BOOK THREE: ALEX NOZIAK, ASIN B00ISE8UCA, into Invisible Fate, ISBN 978193921081. Invisible Fate is the correct version of the book.
Also, I am unable to add Invisible Fate to the Alex Noziak series. It should be Alex Noziak #3. When I attempt to add the series I am redirected to the wrong page. Thank you for you help! The librarians are always awesome.

message 8: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (knasentjej) (jenny_eriksson) | 11 comments For some strange reason I can't combine this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

with the rest of the editions of the same book: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

The only difference is that the first link is to the book in Swedish.

Could someone help me out because when I click combine on the book in the first link I can't see the other books by the author John Stephens?

Z-squared | 8575 comments Jenny, primary authors have to 've spelled exactly the same if two books are to be combined, INCLUDING extra spaces (because Goodreads uses extra spaces to disambiguate authors). There are two books on the other John Stephens profile here:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Are they both by the John Stephens here?

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

If so, then you need to post a request for a merge in the GR employee thread here:

Arenda | 26447 comments #8 there were two different author profiles. I merged the authors. The first author had 2 books, which both belonged to the second John Stephens (who has 2 spaces between John and Stephens, to differentiate from other John Stephens).
The merging should only be done when all the books belong to the same author; otherwise edit de author for each book.

Combined the books.

Z-squared | 8575 comments Oh whoops. Didn't notice that the elaborated profile was unclaimed. Doh!

Someone has already doen this. That's great. The books have been combined. :)


message 14: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments Well, I had figured out both books were by the same John Stephens and was working on merging and combining before posting here. But I never thought about Goodreads authors, because these two weren't.


message 15: by Esther (new)

Esther | 18 comments Hi!

please combine versions af "Voor de troon wordt men niet ongestraft geboren"

This one is correct
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

And this one tries to describe a later edition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
I can edit it later (author information for example)

And please delete if possible
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


thank-you-thank-you-thank-you!
