Works flagged as Duplicates

Under the Tab for Charts and Graphs, Duplicate Works, my library shows several works that are not truly duplicates. Two examples are: The Public Papers of George Clinton: First Governor of New York and The Kaiser's Memoirs.

In the first example, this is a multi-volume set and each volume is flagged erroneously (to my mind) as a duplicate.

In the second example, I have one German language edition and one English language edition. These are not duplicates.

Is there a way to delete these from the Duplicate Works pages without deleting them from the library?

That’s a combination issue - we can help you in the combiners group usually but I will go and fix it now for you.

I think I got them all. Check now. :)

However, about this pair:
The Kaiser's Memoirs by Emperor of Germany Wilhelm II (Harper & Brothers, Edition: First (1922) 366 pages)
Ereignisse Und Gestalten 1878-1918 by Kaiser Wilhelm II (Verlag von K. F. Koehler (1922))

These ARE a legitimate duplicate - one is in German, the other in English and they are the same material. When you have the same book in two different languages, it is supposed to show up on the work duplicates page (if it does not, then there is a combination to be done so it does show up)

In the LT world, a work is a combination of all copies of a book in ALL languages. The page shows you that you have two copies of that work - which is correct - you have a German version and an English version :)

That is not a list of "duplicates", but of "Work Duplicates". It is a useful place to see what books you have that are differing versions of the same thing. It is also useful to show where there are bad combinations.

>3 AnnieMod: That makes sense about The Kaiser's Memoirs. And on further thought, I accept that they should appear as a duplicate and be listged as such.

Its all rather more complicated than I first thought.
