Book & Author Page Issues

Please delete this book! (pt. 12)
Got 563 (It didn't actually need a super; you would have just had to hit save on the edit page to circumvent the caching delay, and then you would have been able to delete it.)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... Needs a super. It was a placeholder for this: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... This book was added to my author dashboard and I am not the author.

disambiguation: 2 spaces
Ah, I see she has a "P" initial for her middle name. Thank you for taking care of this for me. I'm sure the other Jennifer would appreciate it also. ;)
Super needed. These two editions should be removed, please:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Here's an example of one of the good/actual editions that should stay: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62...
Thank you!

This is why I was posting so much in this thread- couldn't delete NAB's with less than 5 reviews. But, your instructions did work. Were these instructions posted somewhere previously? In some kind of update that I missed?

No update but there where a couple of threads with "if you edit the book then it refreshes the cache" comments

Thanks, Paula - hope the first one shapes up for you!

Please delete. There isn't a multi-volume of this book, so I combined it with the first in the series, "The Sight"http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/76...

And yet it has a legit ISBN and is listed on multiple sites.
Separated back out.
Got 579RE 578 - I think we where working in tandem but the deletion goes to you :))
Hi! There's really only one Kindle edition for this book (ASIN B006520VDS) - needs a super

Thanks!

It's nothing personal against good reads, this is an amazing site, but I would like my book to be deleted. Thank you.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

We don't remove out-of-print editions, Kindle or otherwise.
Re msg #600: The same image seemed to belong to the other ISBN so I have copied over. However, while the ISBN requested for deletion does not have a valid check digit, it does have other details that are different. I'm not sure that it should be merged.
I think it's a duplicate with a wrong ISBN10. What should I do?
Mod
I fixed the author and combined them, though.
Got 605.Re msg #602 - I think we just leave it for now.
Please delete http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14... and
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14... into this edition
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
(tried to do it but couldn't separate the main edition).
thanks!
I'm just new to Goodreads and the librarian duties here. There are a few things I'm wondering about, mostly authors' names that are mentioned multiple times for just the one entry.1. Sometimes names are duplicated or even triplicated and "torn apart" for just one title. What should be done about this.
2. I added one of my books and noticed that the author's name onsite had a second name which I could find nowhere in my edition of the book, e.g., James Randolph Scott, instead of James Scott. Should that be left as it is, or should only the names that appear on the book/s be entered as author?
Thanks for any pointers on these questions.
Could someone please help me with these two:- a real valid Russian edition of Salman Rushdie's 'Shame' here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/79...
- a clone with the same cover and no ISBN which, I guess, correspond to exactly the same edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
I've checked, and I believe there is only one Russian edition with this cover, so the second one should be removed.
