Gone.


message 153: by Banjomike (new)

Banjomike | 5166 comments I wonder how we pronounce this authors name

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

he/she has 201 distinct works and a good number of quotes, mostly in what looks like Arabic. I thought that perhaps a legit author has been badly edited.


message 154: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Banjomike, "authors" like that are usually a combination of bad parsing of imported records and mistaken manual entries by users (who probably meant to enter "Anonymous", "Unknown", or "I am too lazy to check"). If it's not on the sisyphus list of "authors" whose books need proper attribution work, it should be....


message 155: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments I think it is already on the sisyphus list, or something that looks like it anyway.

It is, along with its good friend "."

And 90% of both are Amazon and/or B&N's fault. Actual users are more likely to enter mangled spellings of author names (or the space, when that was possible).

Becky (beckyofthe19and9) Can a super please delete these?

Both were added under "Mathew Pearl" rather than "Matthew Pearl" and I'm not able to edit.

Thanks!

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Becky, I got your first two, but the third one is a valid book. (You can move books onto a GR author's profile by editing the books directly, which is a bit of a pain, I know.)


message 161: by Becky (new)

Becky (beckyofthe19and9) Thanks Cait, I'll give it a shot. :)


message 162: by Becky (new)

Becky (beckyofthe19and9) Or I guess you've done it already. Thanks again, hehe...

Eva-Marie Nevarez (evamarie3578) | 753 comments I have to missing something here but this book is listed:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/70...

and

this book is listed:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...

One has an ISBN, one without. I went to add it and found the listing with and then tried to combine and I can't. The author is the same, no spaces, and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what's happening. Can someone check it out?

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Eva they look combined to me - maybe someone sorted it out


message 167: by Eva-Marie (new)

Eva-Marie Nevarez (evamarie3578) | 753 comments Thanks Paula - as long as it's done. I must have spent ten whole minutes looking and trying to get those combined! lol

message 175: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Sandra, got it.

vicki_girl, I got both of yours: the series placeholder I merged into the first book in the series, as is the usual suggestion. (Has this been written up formally? Hmm. I will check.) I assume I can leave the rest of this currently rather messily catalogued author in your hands?


message 176: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31413 comments Thanks Cait.

Jennifer (jenninrome) | 51 comments This entry is for a DVD, not a book. Could someone remove it? Il "Divo" by Paolo Sorrentino

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Got it. But for future reference, it's easier if you provide a link.


message 179: by Plch (new)

Plch | 81 comments a super is needed to delete this: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
>>> it seems to be a duplicate without ISBN of the persian edition of 'il bar sotto il mare' (the version with ISBN had been saved under the persian version of the name of the author). The remaining version it should be combined back with the the editions in the other languages.
*thank you in advance*

message 182: by Michael (new)

Michael (m1land) | 43 comments I'm not really sure what this is... Is it a Bible or not? Worldcat doesn't seem to have anything on it, and it doesn't seem to have an ISBN. I am wondering if it should be combined with the TNIV version of the Bible (which I've never heard of... is it even a real translation edition?) and then deleted, to merge the ratings. Granted, there are only 2, so I could delete it, but I'm just not sure what to do...

TNIV seems to be a Zondervan-specific translation. I merged that into another Zondervan edition -- one with an ISBN.

That's a legitimate book, with an ISBN.

poof!


message 188: by Sara ♥ (new)

Sara ♥ (saranicole) | 316 comments Needs a superlibrarian... This edition was a placeholder, and now needs to be deleted, since the REAL edition (with ISBN) has been added.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Is this something that should be deleted or NABed or what? (Found on the single space author list.)

The only person rating it mentions she recently took up writing --?
Thanks!
