Chey Cobb | 1 comments 1) The summary for this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
is in Spanish. It was listed in my Recommendations and I don't understand why I got a listing that was not in English.
2) I am very confused as to whether or not this is the correct Group for these types of errors. I just posted a similar question in the Goodreads Feedback Group (summary was in Cyrillic). My question was answered and I was also told to post any further mistakes to this group.
HOWEVER - when I started to write my posting in this Group (Librarians), a pop-up dialog box appears that contradicts that advice. The pop-up clearly and distinctly says:

Group Rules:
For general comments on Goodreads and for requests for changes to the site, try the "http;//www.goodreads.com/group/show/1.Goodre..." Feedback Group instead. The dialog box also says: "This disappears after your first post here."

So ... if I notice something needs to be fixed on a book's page, to which group should I post my question?

Banjomike | 5166 comments I don't think there is a problem on the book page. It is a Spanish edition so a Spanish blurb is fine.

Getting oddball recommendations is less fine but happens a lot.

This is the correct group to post anything that looks like it needs changing. Genuine bugs go in the Feedback group.

To clarify: anything in book data (or quotes, or lists, or trivia). So issues with a cover, number of pages, or book blurb go in this group. But if your My Books page doesn't display properly, that would go in Feedback.

Clearer?
