Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments re 2 and 3

These are all combined correctly, I have merged one set of ebooks.


message 6: by [deleted user] (new)

Thank you, I'm sorry! I meant to merge them.


message 7: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments re 4 - both have valid ISBNs so do not need merging, they are combined


message 8: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments I merged the one in message 1. Both items in msg 4 are legitimate books. Items that have an ISBN starting with 294 are Barnes & Noble ebooks.


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

Thank you Paula and Vicki.

Sorry rivka. After I finished those I had been battling my internet connection. Dial-up failed for a while there. :(

Gotta hate when the internet connection goes out. :P

Ellis Vidler (ellisvidler) | 9 comments Please delete this entry, http://www.goodreads.com/author/list/..., which I posted in error, and use this one:

I'm the author who messed up. Thanks!


message 27: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Hi Ellis. It didn't need deletion (it would have just re-imported from Amazon the next time a related search was done); it needed fixing.

In general, please don't remove ISBNs from an existing record. If another edition is needed, search by ISBN or add it manually as a new edition.


message 28: by Ellis (new)

Ellis Vidler (ellisvidler) | 9 comments Thank you. I'll try to stay away from them from now on.


message 29: by Moloch (new)

Moloch | 3975 comments Hello,

in this book
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/69...
the first author has to be in the Non-Latin form of the name or the original has to be second place?

It needs to be combined with this,
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

but I can't since the author is "different" now.


message 30: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Adding the Latin version of the name as primary author allowed for the editions to be combined.


message 31: by Moloch (new)

Moloch | 3975 comments So the Latin version always has to be the first (that is, till we find a way to link all the forms of an author name), thank you, now I know. Thanks for having combined them, too.


message 32: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Assuming that there is reason to have a Latin version (that is, not if all editions of a book are in Cyrillic or Arabic or whatever), then yes.


message 33: by Ellis (new)

Ellis Vidler (ellisvidler) | 9 comments The version of THE PEEPER by Jim Christopher currently shown on Goodreads no long exists. The new version and slightly different cover (on Amazon, ISBN 1463770480)is live though. Can you please combine or change over to the new one?
Thank you. Ellis

There are three editions. we don't remove books (or editions) from GR when they go out of print, just as a library would not remove them from their shelves. The edition that is the most popular (has been shelved/rated/reviewed the most) will show up on author pages and so on.

Laura (glomdi) | 47 comments This book and this book need to be combined.


message 36: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
They are, and have been combined since Nov. 11.


message 37: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments They are combined


message 38: by Laura (new)

Laura (glomdi) | 47 comments Can you vote on different additions on one list?? I thought they were different because both had votes on a list...

Yes, but if they should be combined on the list, someone can fix that if you link the list in question.


message 40: by Laura (new)

Laura (glomdi) | 47 comments Sorry for my confusion, this is the list.


message 41: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Duplicates on that list have been combined.


message 42: by Laura (new)

Laura (glomdi) | 47 comments Thank you!

Combined and added missing covers.


message 44: by Hilary (new)

Hilary (hilaryparker) | 2 comments Hello helpful librarians!

I have added an edition of a book, but somehow it didn't merge with the previous editions of the book. (I tried to make everything consistent! Not sure what I did wrong!)

Here's my new one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

And here's the previous versions:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75...

Thanks a million!


message 45: by Sandra (new)

Sandra  (readingontheporch) | 269 comments I've combined the first with the other two. I'm pretty sure though that the part about being a winner of an award is not supposed to be in the title of the book. It's listed in the book details and that's normally where this kind of thing goes. I'll leave this for a more experienced librarian to determine.

Congrats on the award, by the way. :)

Definitely not. Removed that, and the reviews from the description.

Also, Kindle editions don't have ISBNs. Looks like the ISBN is just for the general ebook, so I changed that as well.


message 48: by Hilary (new)

Hilary (hilaryparker) | 2 comments Thanks!! Much appreciated - sorry about the award in the title thing, I was just trying to be consistent with what was up there before (but I agree that since there's the award section, the award shouldn't be in the title).

Glad that this is all curated and up-to-date now! You guys are my organizational heros!! :)
