IMO, for anyone who bothers to read the directions when manually adding a book, it is obvious GR wants each book listed individually. Books sold as series or collections are a slightly different issue; since those have ISBNs, Otis said we keep them.

And BTW, I first became aware of the issue shortly after I joined, when someone deleted a series that I had rated (which someone else had added). So I've been on the other end of thing as well.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments I reiterate: Ouch. But it is better to delete them asap before innocent people add their ratings. So, I will delete them when I see them.

Thanks for playing! As your parting gift today: a lovely collection of "Oops - we couldn't find that book."

;)

jenjn79 | 564 comments - That was great, Rivka.

Is the addictiveness of GR awful? I said I was done playing, but here I am, still sitting here.

Yes! (I'm still here too. Instead of reading one of my books or doing my CEUs class book.)

It should be merged with this one:

This one's a movie - the same user has added a lot of other movies to the database as well, so I sent her a message reminding her that goodreads is for rating books alone. If I find any others that have too many ratings I'll post them, but so far there has only been 1 or 2 for each movie.

Ashley (ashleym) | 145 comments Please delete

this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...
and this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36...

I've already separated them out with the correct edition, so deleting them will merge with it. Then please combine the remaining edition with the rest of Twilight :) Thanks!

edit: Forgot to say that the first one has an invalid ISBN-13 - I checked with the converter and it says the check digit should be 6, which it is on the correct edition.

Got 'em all, I think. Ashley, could you double-check the first few from your long list? Some of the links weren't behaving. I think I figured them out, but if you could check that I got the ones you had in mind, that would be great. :)

Both will merge with their right editions, which will need to be re-combined.

Empty edition, added with the title and author name (first and last) all misspelt. Corrected, combined it with its alchemical friends, then I couldn't delete it.

Say bye bye!

Bye bye to Squirrel's!

And Ashley's too, although I had some help with those.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments This book managed to acquire fifteen ratings despite the misspelled author and misspelled title....

Edit: Gah! And it won't stay edited. It needs to belong to "Christopher Paolini" for long enough to combine with Eragon!


message 82: by Cait (new)
Jul 08, 2008 01:55PM

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments This book can pretty clearly be merged into one of its other editions. (If the most popular is the one that's being deleted, it'll go to the next-most-popular, right?)

This Is Not The Michael You're Looking For | 949 comments Cait, got the last two. And yes, if you delete the most popular version it shifts the reviews to the next most popular.

Jul 10, 2008 08:06AM

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments This Rosie Dunne can be deleted, which will merge it into the most popular edition with the same title; then that edition can be recombined with Love, Rosie. (This author apparently doesn't publish anything with fewer than three titles....)
