    Hi!
    I have made an author edit of this book: http://www.shelfari.com/books/24080678/Polety-bogov-i-lyudey?ActivityId=214546901 - the original author is Yuriy Fedorovich Nikitin, but not http://www.shelfari.com/authors/a555522/Yuriy-Nikitin/ - Yuriy Aleksandrovich Nikitin - they are 2 different authors. Yuriy Nikitin (ID:555522) didn't write the book Polety bogov i lyudey (eng. Flights of Gods and Men), so please, separate this book form the author 555522.

    Thanks for your answer :)
    Yes it's true that Landbruksdepartementet (eng. Ministry of Agriculture) and Direktoratet for Naturforvaltning (eng. The Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management) isn't people but departments. But this book is a guide in how to conserve the culture landscapes in Norway, and they are therefore listed as authors of these book since they founded it, where just the editor team is named without a primary editor. Should I just add the (human) editors then?

    Hi! I'm wondering: Why did you remove the editors and the authors in this book, when they were correct? http://www.shelfari.com/books/9923205/Skj%C3%B8tselboka?ActivityId=214547698

    Hi Cora, I have a title that I edited incorrectly and will have hives until I confess and until it gets fixed! http://www.shelfari.com/books/26904279/As-the-Snow-Falls---Vol-2-%28Book-2-of-the-new-mesmerizing-Muse-Se I edited the the title to read As the Snow Falls- Upon REALLY looking at the series, it SHOULD read As the Snow Falls - Vol 2 Thank you! Hope this made sense-it seems that each title in the series is divided into Volume 1 & Volume 2...each being a different book in the series-guess I should have paid closer attention-Dianne

    Hello! I see you are a Shelfari Librarian. Is that a paid position? If someone were interested, how would they be able to work for Shelfari?

    I agree. I think I wasn't paying attention when I submitted that. Sorry but thanks for catching my error.

    Ida Rahayu Jamli says

    Oops, forgot to ask you, but I can standardise it right? Because some say either comic strip or graphic novel, or even Agatha Christie Graphic Novel - which means I can remove the the word Agatha Christie?

    Oh I did not realise that! Must be more careful in reading the guidelines. Thanks for letting me know Cora.

    Yes, I make the changes first because it's easier for me to set up combinations. When I tackle an author, I find all books that don't have the author assigned. I do the title change at that time. Then later, I go back to that author's main page, sort by title and do the combinations there. I need the titles changes so when I sort by title, they're where they should be. I'm aware of the Shelfari suggestion to do combine's first before doing anything else but it's not convenient for me nor is it as completely thorough because when a book is rejected in a combination request for one reason or another, I don't know. After I see what's left over on an author, I know I've missed something and I know I have to rectify what I missed (or link a book as a "based on..."). No, it's not the most efficient and you're absolutely correct that some work is lost but for me, it's not "hard work" that is lost and once I'm done with an author, it's in a very complete and cleaned up condition. I've tried it the other way (do all combination request first), but it just takes longer; too much sitting around waiting on combinations. This way just works for me.

    Okay, that's fine--then all the others must be changed (e.g., http://www.shelfari.com/books/12759102/Conspiracy-365-January)!

    Hi Cora, You recently denied my request to change the name of the November Conspiracy 365 book to be "Conspiracy 365 November." The others in the series are title this way, and I think they should be consistent one way or another. Thanks!

    Hey Cora, you recently approved a request by another member to combine several books into “The Compleat Enchanter”, but one of the books that were combined was “The Complete Compleat Enchanter”, a similarly named collective work by the same authors that actually contains an additional book that “The Compleat Enchanter” does not.
    If you could re-separate them that would be great.

    Thanks,
    Bio-Spark

    P.S. Here’s the wiki page about it, if you’re interested:

    Thank you very much. I understand why it might not be too simply to change it - however, the page you linked me to already reads "Beth Lilyan". Should I add An Analysis of Dreams as a book?
    Thank you. :)
