>not being a librarian yourself and fixing the date
desu, as a librarian, I feel like the whole site is a massive anarchic clusterfuck, due to the fact that nobody controls the librarians. On RYM, when you send a correction, it'll be carefully analyzed by a sperg who will notice even the smallest mistakes. On TMDB, nobody controls you but it's a relatively intelligent community and they rarely make mistakes, as far as I can see. But Goodreads is filled with uncontrolled dumb fucks who can't read the rules. I've seen one librarian complaining that an another one just completely destroyed their submission, completely switched the info for an another book. Replaced the cover, the title, everything. When it comes to old books some people like to replace a legit cover of the most popular/default edition with the cover of the first edition. There were also massive edit wars about the authorship of Quran etc etc etc. As a librarian I can just find the books I read, fix them / add them and turn them in my own clean and tidy little corner in this wild west of databases.

Anyway, link me the book and the date and I'll fix it. You can also ask in the Goodreads librarians group.

>> No.8120385

>>8120327
There is professional staff on there, but they take care of the site code and frontend, not the database. Well, they don't really take care of the code either, they only do on paper. The essential reread feature has been requested for years (probably since the site was created) but they are doing nothing about it. Instead of adding that or maybe optimising the site, they changed the UI recently and caused problems for many users (I personally couldn't see the logo on front page, and the font lacks some non-english characters - other people reported fucked up font sizes and inability to check their notifications at all.)
Amazon really doesn't affect the site, if you don't count the ads and data mining.

>> No.8120562

>>8119940
It's easy to become a librarian and fix it. Last I checked you need to have 50 books shelved and the acceptance is pretty much automatic.
