Dan - all of these that I've looked at are legitimate editions, with ISBNs or ASINs if they are Kindles. Why do you think they should be deleted?

Why do I think those entries I listed should be deleted? Because as I said, they are ALL short stories. This site's FAQ says short stories should not be included. If the site FAQ is in error, please let me know. I love short stories and am prepared to enter hundreds of them myself. Thanks.
Mod
In general, this is correct. However, those which have been re-published separately (most often as ebooks) are fine.
Interesting. So Ernest Hemmingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants", written at about the same time as those other short stories I listed (the ones that appeared in an early issue of Astounding Science Fiction), because it is still under copyright is not sold separately and therefore does not get its own review. However, hack literature that is out of copyright because no one living really cares, and which is thus distributed as an eBook as a freely available short story can be reviewed here separately and is thus given more prominent treatment? Am I the only one who sees an issue here?

Some placeholders that need a super:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/99...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/85...
This is an ARC edition - I think it can go. No additional info and other editions are listed:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/80...
Got 585. 586 is an uncorrected proof. I think it should stay.
Please delete: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...It's a duplicate of this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/72...
(Needs a super)
Thanks

Agreed. I see no reason to delete ARCs or similar.
This http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/79...is the same but with less information than this one http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/99...
Can a sup delete this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12... Someone manually added a magazine. It's got no ISBN so I don't think there's a need to NAB.
And this one please: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12... - someone created this and added their own review to the description.
I've created a giveaway on Goodreads for my book Deception (The Iron Admiral, #2) But despite providing an ISBN, the title of the book has been translated as 'The Iron Admiral' and the cover is blank. That book has now been added to my list of books. There is NO BOOK called 'The Iron Admiral', although it is the name of a 2-book series. Can we please get this fixed?
The source of the problem is Barnes and Nobel have the incorrect details for the ISBN. You will need to take that up with them.I have updated the paperback version with the correct title, combined with the kindle and sorted out the series numbering on GR.
B&N do not have a over for the paperback is it the same as the kindle?
If so one else will need to upload since the pad does not let me
In addition neither edition is linked to a giveaway yet
OK, thanks, I think I have it all sorted, now.
Could a sup get this?http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
Looks like a duplicate of the existing hardcover since there seem to be no other editions.
Needs superhttp://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32...

Could a sup get this?http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
Looks like it was a placeholder for the B003YL4LNY kindle edition.
Hi,While I was adding a book, I found that the book was already place on Goodreads, however, without any relevant info, they are merged, can a super delet this version:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
Can you post the link to both editions, since the edition to be deleted is in Portuguese we need to separate both editions together.Then delete the incorrect one and then re merge with the rest of the editions. This will make sure that those who have reviewed the Portuguese edition continue to have their review against a Portuguese edition.
I think someone already did that. The two book were merged together and were not combine with the diferents editions of the original Hobbit. Someone must deleted the correct version I created...
Please delete this book! http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
It's the exact same edition than this one:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
Thanks!
Got 616.Is it the same book (translation of) Norwegian Wood? I wasn't sure so I didn't combine it...
