I wonder how we pronounce this authors namehttp://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.
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....
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).

Can a super please delete these? http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71...

Both were added under "Mathew Pearl" rather than "Matthew Pearl" and I'm not able to edit.
Thanks!
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.)
This is a "book" by "Me!"http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...
This is "Me!"

I've deleted Me!s quotes
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?
Thanks Paula - as long as it's done. I must have spent ten whole minutes looking and trying to get those combined! lol
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/72...This the same sereis as the "A is for Alibi", "B is for Burglar", etc.
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?
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*
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...http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/65...
TNIV seems to be a Zondervan-specific translation. I merged that into another Zondervan edition -- one with an ISBN.
Needs a superlibrarian... This edition was a placeholder, and now needs to be deleted, since the REAL edition (with ISBN) has been added.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67...
Is this something that should be deleted or NABed or what? (Found on the single space author list.)http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/80...
The only person rating it mentions she recently took up writing --?
Thanks!
ISBN-less placeholder, combined with the correct ISBN editions:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28...
Can a super delete this saver I added awhile ago? There is a proper listing now but I can't get this one out. Thanks!http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66...
