Ninja Neko | 171 comments Can a super take care of this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27...
It doesn't have an isbn, but it is combined with the editions that do.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Got 156 and finally finished 155


message 155: by Ninja Neko (new)

Ninja Neko | 171 comments Thanks!

There's this one too: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61...
It's the most popular edition of the book, but it doesn't have an isbn. The cover they used is the same one as the second most popular edition, but it has a different page count. The page count does match the 3rd most popular edition.
Can it just be merged as is or should we split it with the best match first?

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments I have it separated out with it's match - but every time I try to delete that copy the server times out. I'll keep trying. Or another super can.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments trying also - have swapped out ISBN's to lesser shelved editon to see if that helps


Edit: I know what I mean :) tried to delete edition with fewer shelvings but not working either.

Going to leave for a while, some times it does actually delete just takes it own time to do so

Nenangs | 464 comments Please merge the two editions of:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

and combine with:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53...

TIA


message 163: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments The link at 164 is giving me a book not found, so I assume it's been finished (although there is no mention in the librarian change log that I can see that says there has been a merge).


message 164: by Nenangs (new)

Nenangs | 464 comments thanks to whoever did the merging.

i did the last combining (just now).


message 165: by Amanda (new)

Amanda | 2442 comments Got 167 and 168


message 166: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary | 44 comments This edition http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67...
seems to be a duplicate (same cover, no ISBN) of this edition http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48...


message 167: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Re 170: I've separated them out, but I'm running into errors everywhere and I keep getting kicked off the internet. Someone else will have to get it.

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
They have different page numbers and different publication years, so I don't think either should be deleted.


message 169: by lafon حمزة (last edited Jul 12, 2012 09:37AM) (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Oh, shi-... never mind. Anyway according to worldcat there are at least five editions all with that ISBN, all published by Wordsworth, and all having a different publish date (it ranges from 1992 to 2001). I'm gonna put a librarian's note on it; a real one this time. ;)
I guess this is one of the times when it's a good thing I was having problems.

I think we've all had this sentiment on occasion. ;)


message 171: by Nenangs (new)

Nenangs | 464 comments but unless such books (same ISBN, different publication years, different page numbers) have different covers, shouldn't they be merged?


message 172: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Why? They seem to legitimately have different page numbers. Why shouldn't users be able to have the correct number of pages listed?


message 173: by Nenangs (new)

Nenangs | 464 comments just asking. :)
because I am not aware of any discussion or rules on "alternate page numbers edition", only on "alternate cover edition".


message 174: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Heh. It doesn't really happen enough to warrant a section in the manual, but if you browse through old threads you will probably find a handful of other such cases.


message 175: by Nenangs (new)

Nenangs | 464 comments ok I see.
thanks for the information, rivka.


message 176: by Sylvie (new)

Sylvie (sylview) | 189 comments Please delete this ebook edition:

message 184: by Ceese (new)

Ceese | 12 comments ISBN didn't check out for
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

I believe
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
and
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
need to be merged (ASIN appears to match the ISBN)

Also, I'm not sure if this is appropriate here (I'll create a new thread if that's the case) but authors
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
and
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
also need merging if someone wants to take care of that as well.

Thanks :)

That's a B&N ID. Perfectly valid.

Each ASIN, ISBN, and BNID should get a separate entry, as has been done there.

Looks like someone got the author?

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Re 188:
The first link is using a BNID, which is Barnes & Nobles version of an ASIN. If you look at the ISBN 13 it starts with 294; I have deleted the meaningless ISBN-10

The second and third links just need to be combined, which I have done. We keep books with unique ASINs, even if has the same ISBN as another ebook edition. (The same is true for books with unique BNIDs.)

Looks like someone got the author merge.

Merged the authors
All 3 of the books are valid editions. The 294 number is Barnes & Noble's version of an ISBN.


message 188: by Ceese (new)

Ceese | 12 comments Oops, sorry.. I totally missed that. Thanks :)


message 189: by Krystal109 (new)

Krystal109 | 1086 comments This: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...

is a duplicate of this: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95...

I already moved the ISBN over to the placeholder edition so that we don't get those 504 gateway errors again.


message 190: by Amara (last edited Jul 14, 2012 03:26PM) (new)

Amara Tanith (aftanith) Got 193


message 191: by [deleted user] (new)

Please delete
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

It's a NAB, but first it should be merged then NABed. It is added by more than 5 people, so...

message 195: by the_cat (new)

the_cat | 388 comments About 197: the cover says Prokletí Titánů ? Is it a mistake?


message 196: by Krystal109 (new)

Krystal109 | 1086 comments I don't actually know much about the book, since I don't speak the language. I was just noticing they were the exact same when I was combining other Rick Riordan books for someone else.


message 197: by the_cat (new)

the_cat | 388 comments K I've corrected the title and filled the rest of the data


message 198: by Deji (new)

Deji (dejiridoo) | 9 comments Hi there,

When I uploaded my book as an author, it created The Perlemoen of Obz by Deji Bryce Olukotun two editions. It's because when I first uploaded it, the page read "Goodreads is over capacity".

Can you delete the version without the rating?

Thanks so much!
Deji
