message 254: by Stevie (new)

Stevie Holcomb | 1 comments Hi, can someone remove the following from the list https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9... as they were added and they don't fit the criteria? (I have applied to be a librarian so I can do so, but I haven't been approved yet):

Black Sunday by Thomas Harris (rating too low)

Michel Strogoff by Jules Verne (rating too low)

Running for My Life: One Lost Boy's Journey from the Killing Fields of Sudan to the Olympic Games by Lopez Lomong (not a novel)

Thank you! I just created this list yesterday, and I'm going to have to keep a close eye on it, I see. I'd love to be able to edit it myself, but we'll just have to wait and see if I'm approved.


message 255: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello, I found this thread after trying to figure out how to delete a book from a list I created (you'd think creators of lists would be able to remove things...)

I'd be very appreciative if a librarian could remove this for me.

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

The book is Horse Crazy by Caitlin Ricci

Misfit | 102 comments https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

See discussions. There are a lot of prominent books by well known authors that should be considered for removal.


message 257: by Auburn (new)

Auburn Book (auburnbooklover) | 1 comments I'd like all 50 shades book removed from my list, as those books are specifically the opposite of what I am trying to capture in my list https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...


message 258: by Silent_bomber (new)

Silent_bomber | 3 comments Could someone please remove the book "Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes" from my list, as it is not eligible.

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...

Its a great book, but its from a US publisher.

Thanks


message 259: by Darina (new)

Darina | 2 comments Hello, could you please remove a few books from this list:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4...

Bandersnatch: C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien and the Creative Collaboration of the Inklings
by Diana Pavlac Glyer (because it is not by an author but about them)...
...and maybe at least one of Майк Йогансен's book because I wanted just one per writer. I will write it explicitely now. I can't tell you which one because I don't quite understand Ukranian but either is fine, I guess.
Thank you!

message 264: by Jessica (new)

Jessica (cocoonofbooks) | 8 comments I just added a comment with a long list of books to be removed from the "Books with a Goodreads Average Rating of 4.2 and Above" list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...

I am a librarian (I can edit book data), but don't appear to have the ability to edit a Listopia list. Is there another kind of approval I need to apply for?

Thanks!


message 265: by Jennifer (last edited Feb 04, 2016 10:05AM) (new)

Jennifer (jenspin) Greetings all,

I was wondering if someone could help me remove books that don't belong from a Listopia List. The list is called "Consumerism" and I am the creator. https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...

I was hoping that the following books could be deleted, as they do not have anything to do with consumerism and appear to be titles that were added by the authors themselves.

1) The Millennial Reincarnations by Daniel M. Harrison

2) Leftover Women: The Resurgence of Gender Inequality in China
by Leta Hong Fincher

3) Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations by Clay Shirky

Thank you kindly for your help.

Re 269, I started deleting a few of these, but it's hard to tell if an author's book should stay on the list if they haven't claimed their profile. And it looks like from your edits to the description that you've abandoned this list anyway. Do you still want someone to do these edits?

Correct, I turned up the instructions in another thread about deleting lists.


message 271: by Amber (new)

Amber (amber_sheely) | 7 comments Hello All!
I created a list which was based on a PDF created by the College Board. In the description I asked people to not add materials to that list that were not in the PDF but they still have. It would be helpful if the list could be cleaned up. Would anyone be willing to help me out?
the link to the PDF is in the description.
here is the link to the list.
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...
If you need me to post individual titles here, I would be happy to do so.
Thanks so much!


message 272: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8576 comments re 278, can you post which titles need to be removed? i don't really want to check every book on this 140-book list against the college board list. i will take your word for it...

Lisa Frame (lisa_frame) | 3 comments I checked all of the books for date/YA and deleted the ones that did not belong. I left Outside, as I don't have enough available information to necessitate removal.

message 276: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Briggs (elizabethbriggs) | 1 comments Can anyone remove three books from a list I created and then make it static? It is supposed to only list the 20 members of the Class of 2k16's books, but three other books have been added. Those books are not part of the Class of 2k16 and I'd like to remove them and prevent anyone from adding other books to the list, if possible.
Link: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...
Please remove:
Artifacts by Pete Catalano
Borrowed Magic by Shari Lambert
Weaving a Net is Better Than Praying for Fish by Ki-Wing Merlin

Thank you.


message 277: by Bea (last edited Mar 03, 2016 08:17PM) (new)

Bea #283: Elizabeth, I removed the books as you requested, but I do not know how to make the list a static list. Perhaps another more experienced librarian can help you with that portion.


message 278: by Michael (last edited Mar 03, 2016 08:04PM) (new)

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments 283/284 - I made the list static by clicking on "edit" under the list description and ticking the check box "static". I don't know if this feature is available for the Listopia creator but we librarians are always ready to chip in :)

278-282 are still pending.


message 279: by Bea (new)

Bea #282: Amber, please review the list again to be sure it is correct.

I did not find "made". It could have been Madea or Madame Bovary, so I left both.

And, although I do not remember finding The Sun Also Rises, it is not now on the list that I can see.

Amber (amber_sheely) | 7 comments #286
Thanks for the help!

Made was supposed to be Medea by Euripides which was a typo on my part. If someone would remove that one as well, that would be great.

P (sriparnan) | 18 comments Hi,

Can someone please remove these books from my Listopia list?

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

I had created this list strictly for non-fiction books, but historical fiction has been added.

Please remove the following hist-fic books:

1. The Three Crowns
2. The Princess of Celle
3. The Widow of Windsor
4. Castile for Isabella
5. Murder Most Royal
6. The Summer Queen
7. The Winter Crown

Thanks in advance!


message 285: by C. (new)

C.  (cmay) | 1 comments I removed the following 7 books from the "98091.Queens_Countesses_and_Duchesses" list because they were all historical fiction instead of non-fiction.

1. The Three Crowns
2. The Princess of Celle
3. The Widow of Windsor
4. Castile for Isabella
5. Murder Most Royal
6. The Summer Queen
7. The Winter Crown

message 287: by Jack (last edited Apr 20, 2016 05:35AM) (new)

Jack | 1 comments Can someone remove the following books from this list, which are irrelevant to the list's purpose :-

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...

Breaking Free: True Stories of Girls Who Escaped Modern Slavery

The People's Republic of Chemicals

Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America

The Bankers: How The Banks Brought Ireland To Its Knees (Ireland is not in the UK)

Meltdown in Tibet: China's Reckless Destruction of Ecosystems from the Highlands of Tibet to the Deltas of Asia

The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More (while this book may be partly relevant, it doesn't put a political spin on the future of business and what this means for voters).

Future Arctic: Field Notes from a World on the Edge

Cheers!

Aishyo | 1 comments Hello, could someone please remove the following books from this list because they don't fit into the genre.

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...

All by the author Shannon Freeman:

All About my Selfie
The Alternative
Taken
Expecting
Silentious
The Accident
The Most Beautiful Bully
Listed
Traumatized
Deported
A Port in Pieces
The Public Eye
High School High

I think the user that added them is trying to promote the author as they have placed all of these books in many lists where it does not really fit

Also Binti by Nnedi Okorafor

Thank you


message 289: by Nat (new)

Nat Kennedy | 7 comments Hey, If a Goodreads Librarian could be so kind as to delete a book from a listopia list, that'd be fantastic! I created the list and am not sure how I can manage the list myself.

I feel the description was well defined and I tried to fine tune it some more, but this book just doesn't fit (though I do love it.) Thank you!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1)

message 294: by Christy (new)

Christy | 2 comments Hi! I created a list that specifies it should be fiction where the main female character has never married and has no romantic plotline for her in the book. Someone added Rabih Alameddine's book An Unnecessary Woman, but the synopsis and reviews state that the main character is divorced, so it doesn't fit the criteria of the list.
Could you remove it? Here's the list:

Sarah (sarahjd82) | 7 comments An author had a book added, incorrectly, to a list and she asked me to remove it. I have removed the book from that list, but on the book page the list is still appearing. When you click through to the list the book isn't on the list. Is there a way to get that list removed from the book page? It is going on 14 hours since I removed the book, so I don't think it's a time issue.

It probably is a caching issue, actually. It can take 24-48 hours for some parts of a book page's cache to clear.

message 299: by Diversity Horror (new)

Diversity Horror (diversityhorror) | 22 comments Could someone delete the following books from the list "Diverse Horror"? Some of the books on there don't belong.

-I Am Not A Serial Killer (John Cleaver, #1) by Dan Wells (doesn't fit into the diversity category)

-The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (only one of the side characters falls under the diverse category, not the main characters)

Thanks!
