Thank you.

message 254: by jody (new)

jody (jodysavestheday) | 2 comments Please delete this quote. It is incorrectly attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt: "Do one thing every day that scares you."

/quotes/2510...

It was investigated here:


And here is the similar quote from Eleanor (already an entry on ŷ quotes): “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.�

Thanks!

EJ Wake (ej_wake_author) | 9 comments I added a quote but accidentally put the wrong book it came from. I have tried to delete and fix it, but it keeps putting the wrong title. I don't know how to fix it. It says Dark Blood, but it's supposed to say Dark Wolf. I have tried to remove and add the quote back at least ten times, and it doesn't have any likes. Can anyone help with this?

Thank you. I found another that needs to be deleted. It has the wrong book on it and 0 likes. like the original, it says the wrong book that it comes from. I have put it on the correct book, as it was my quote, but for some reason, this one remains even though I deleted it from my list and no one else put it there.

/quotes/1087...

P.S. Sorry I'm bugging you so much with this, but it is triggering for me. LOL


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 1920 comments Deleted the quote ascribed to Dark Blood as neither version has any likes.

I'm sure you realise this now, but if you make a mistake it is better to come to this folder for a librarian to correct it.

Ashley | 7 comments Hello! This quote should not be on my profile, it is for another Ashley Jackson: “its funny when I'm cyber bullied(anonymously) because when people do it to me,I don't think of how much I want to hurt them or punch them in the face like my friends do...but I go on this site and write a quote to them back, hoping to kill them with kindness.�

Lily (lilygraison) | 1 comments Hi, there are 3 quotes showing on my page that are not quotes. They're just single words. “Horses�, “away�, and “ranch�. Can they be removed? I'm not sure if I made them accidentally or if someone else created them. Either way...they shouldn't be showing on the quotes page.

I don't know how to link to them individually. My quotes page is here: /author/quot...

Thanks!

Emily | 17053 comments #262 I've deleted the quote, as its author did not meet author or notability requirements.

#263 Sometimes when people highlight on their Kindle, some things accidentally get added as a quote. I'm deleting these.

Laurie Perez (joybroker) | 20 comments Please delete this quote - I did not complete the post before it went live: /quotes/1089...

I don't know how it posted, but I needed to add the book and appropriate set of tags. If you can delete it, I can start fresh. Thank you for your help! I hope I've provided this request in the right place - Cheers Virga in Death Valley

Laurie Perez (joybroker) | 20 comments Checking in to see if anyone will respond to #270 posted a week ago on 7/1 - I'll be so grateful.

Sara Melotti | 1 comments Hi there, i accidentally added the wrong text as a quote for my book, could you delete it please?
/work/quotes...
Many thanks in advance


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 1920 comments Just noting that someone has deleted their post, so the numbering is slightly out now.

#271 (Laura) We prefer to make corrections rather than delete a quote. If you can tell me what needs to be added I can edit it for you. I can also add the book title & add any tags. There is a maximum of ten tags per quote though.

I'm afraid there is sometimes a wait for assistance in the quotes folder, as very few librarians work with them. :)

#272 (Sara) Is this a completely wrong quote or can I edit it for you?

Thank you, Carol - the book for the quote in #271 (7/01) is Virga in Death Valley I appreciate your help adding the title, and following up on this request.

Hi Laurie - apologies for getting your name wrong.
Book title added, but you haven't mentioned which tags you would like.

I didn't want to take more of your time with tags, Carol. The title helps - thanks so much.

Mandy (mandysouthgate) | 5 comments Hello, please could you delete the first quote on this page? My phone autocorrected 'mind' to 'kind'.

message 279: by Stephen (new)

Stephen Franks | 1 comments Hi can you please amend the following quotation replacing the word 'ambivalent' with 'indifferent' (the quote was taken from a very early edition of this book and has been amended since):

“They made but a single statement and delivered it without emotion, detached from the cruelty their words conveyed. They were ambivalent to his disintegration as a human being. What they said, the only words they uttered, were simple, unambiguous and not open to negotiation. If Kadin wanted to see his family alive again, he had to get out of the car.�

Stephen Franks, The Milan Contract: Finding the killer was just the beginning...


message 280: by Gerry (new)

Gerry Durisin Several quotes I added yesterday are mis-attributed. They are quotes from the book How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning With the History of Slavery Across America by Clint Smith. I hope you can correctly link them with the book and author.

message 281: by Emma (new)

Emma | 1 comments I hope this is the right place to share this:

This quote: /quotes/1046...
was written by Greta Gerwig for her 2019 film adaptation of Little Women, not by Louisa May Alcott in the original text. It was, however, adapted from a different book by Louisa May Alcott titled Rose in Bloom.

Here is the actual quote: /quotes/1027...

Not sure what would be the next step, maybe just deleting the first quote with a misattributed writer since I'm not sure film quotes belong on here, however I'm sure that the almost 100 people who have liked it would love to hear the real Louisa May Alcott quote in her writing and correct context!


message 282: by Kayla (new)

Kayla Miller | 30 comments Hello,
I noticed someone attributed a quote to me that's not mine:

/work/quotes...

To the best of my knowledge it's not from that book either.

Considering the hash tags, I think it might be from some kids messing around?


message 283: by Laurie (new)

Laurie Perez (joybroker) | 20 comments Please kindly change the book. The quote below should be attributed to The POWER of Amie Martine - not The LOOK.

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 1920 comments #281 Leaving for another librarian. Since this quote was at one time correct, should we add it a second time with the newer wording?

Edit: This issue came up with another authors quotes. Because this quote was correct at the time of entry it stays. You can add the newer version of your quote if you want.

#283 You have posted in the right place but I'm not sure what to do about this one, so I'm leaving for another librarian

Hi Zahra

Seeing these quotes had no likes I was able to delete them. Please allow time for them to disappear completely.

Hi Charlotte

I have added the book title, but this quote must have been added before 10 became the maximum number of tags. I had to delete 2 tags to be able to edit this quote. If you would rather have the two missing tags & have another two deleted let me know.
