Please delete this edition of this book. It's a duplicate without ISBN. The version with the ISBN is already on GRs. Needs a super-librarian...;-)

I need a super for this- it looks like she's added more than just this and I'm going through now seeing what needs to be fixed. I also messaged her letting her know.

Update- nevermind- I was able to delete it- I thought it wouldn't let me but it did. :)
I need a super-libriarian to delete this hand added edition. It is a duplicate of this work, imported from Amazon.
Covers match.
The books are combined.
Thanks!
Looks like this was an edition added before the book's ISBN was released as a placeholder, the actual edition is combined now so I see no reason to keep this:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55...
Cyn, Wow! Thanks. That one is gone as well.
Thanks, Lisa :-) I took off a while for a date with my man, but I'll probably find some more tonight.
Please delete- it let me delete a bunch of listings for the same book with reviews but won't let me get this one. I already messaged her and am working on the rest now.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63...
another (sorry about the multiple posts- going back and forth here) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/64...
already messaged.
Is there no way to make it so only librarians can add books? Or only certain people in general? Or maybe people who are active on GR for at least a certain amount of time?I'm not finished and I must have deleted 5-8 listings for The Reader all added in the past week or so and almost ALL by very, very new members. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63...
Eva, I don't have time to combine and delete right now, but these shouldn't just be deleted. They are books and the users' intent is clear, so they should be combined first with other editions of the book, when needed first changing the spelling of the author so it's correct and then combining. Then, if someone is manually adding a lot of books that are already in the database, then it's great that you're sending them messages. If these are still here when I get back, I'll combine/delete.

(They did't require a super after they were combined.)
Paula, I got them.Anna, Thank you very much.

Maybe I shouldn't be on-line today. I'm glad you got to them Anna!
Eva, I understand perfectly because I've had those times myself!
Lisa wrote: "Eva, I don't have time to combine and delete right now, but these shouldn't just be deleted.

I know the way you mentioned is easier but what I was doing was sending the correct link to the user who added them so they could then use that one. Just wanted to mention that so no one thinks I was erasing listings! :)
Eva, I had kind of assumed that but wasn't certain. Giving links that way here is ok too. Thanks.
I still like you're way better and that's what I usually do. I think I need to lay off until my head clears! LOL
Ok - this item is described in the "binding" field as a "literary journal." Am I right in thinking it's still considered a magazine? There are no ISBNs. I can't delete it if it is a magazine, because there are reviews.Thanks,
Cyn
Thanks, Rivka!Here's another literary journal, but it does have ISBNs.
In fact, I ran a search for "Glimmer Train" and got 53 hits (one credited to "Due to Amazon Limits" which is a new one to me). Only two of them are actual books. Most seem to have ratings or reviews. I don't suppose there's any easy way to get ride of them? Or should I just "not a book" the whole mess?
Thanks,
Cyn

That would be my suggestion.
I keep trying to delete this book and getting that annoying message about experiencing an error. I combined it with the other 3 versions, but this one is a duplicate without an ISBN.Is there any way to know what's wrong when you get a server error message?
I've wondered if it means more than one person has that item open--and if it doesn't, what does happen when more than one person tries to open a page for editing at the same time?
Thanks!

Nothing. Simultaneously trying to save changes would be problematic, except it presumably wouldn't really be perfectly simultaneous.
Could someone delete a duplicate edition of the exact same thing?Histoires de famille 1914/1918 cartes postales et culture de guerre
There are two edition. It was my fault -- i was trying to edit one and somehow wound up with two separate editions of the exact same thing. As far as I know, there only is 1 edition of this book.
Thank you!
Jenna, Ok, I got it. I actually couldn't find the real edition, but this one had a fake ISBN so I deleted it.
This book has no ISBN and isn't being released until 2010- do we leave these in the system or take them out until they are releases/get an ISBN?http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28...
