Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Hi,

I have a bunch of copies of the books listed on my author name. Is it possible to delete them?

They come off looking a bit spammy and unnecessary . . since the names of these books are wrong.

List of books I would like deleted from goodreads:

I appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks so much,

GR does not delete published books.

If you have specific fixes to the titles, then those can be corrected.

Meanwhile I'm about to go correct what I can see to the titles on the covers as appropriate.

I combined some of your duplicates. If there are any left, let me know and we can combine them as well.

Looks like Krazykiwi is already looking at the titles.

What about the authors?
Are there any other authors (other than you) involved?
I'm seeing things like "MC Alex" and "Wimpy Books" listed for some of these...

Does "Mc Alex" exist?
I'm assuming "Wimpy Books" and "Noob Steve Paperback" aren't real people...

I am working on this. Mostof the author info is bogus.

Thank you !

Hi guys,

There aren't any profiles for them. they are my other pen names for my editing team.

Is it possible to fix it so that it shows my amazon link for these books?

Now I have to click it to a different edition in order for me to see the link on goodreads.

The other books as well.


I appreciate any help I could get!

Thanks!

- All the books republished as "Zombie Steve" now have M.C. Steve as the first author - this is required by GR policy where the author name has changed since first publication.
- The titles match the covers. Please don't insert keywords like "Minecraft" in titles on GR.
- The author is the name on the cover, not a bunch of made up keywords (that *is* spam, don't do it). All the various non-existent authors have been removed from the books.
- Books that were retitled have been combined
- Series created.

I started to remove all the keyword tag spam in the descriptions, but gave up, there's too much, and it's more or less irrelevant since it's not indexed in GR's search engine and therefore isn't searchable. But if you're adding new books, there's no point in doing that here.

(Actually, I see you have .... six? seven? thirty? more author names? and many of these books are duplicated there, so this is not entirely done yet either. But this author name is cleaned up in any case.)

Thanks for the help Krazykiwi!
