Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Hi there,

Would you kindly be able to delete 4 of my quotes, please? Thank you.

I already deleted them from my end but for some reason they still appear on my author profile. Here are the 4 quotes I wanted to delete:

1. "Building personal agency isn’t just another professional skill — it’s the meta-skill that will reign through 2050.”

2. "Building personal agency isn’t just a skill — it’s the meta-skill that will reign through 2050."

3. "Insurance Paradox: We insure everything except for the one thing that pays for it all—our careers."

4. "The Insurance Paradox:

We insure everything except for the one thing that pays for it all—our careers."

Hi Chirag
You probably were just able to delete your copy of the quotes rather than the site's copy - quotes are for everyone on this site. I was able to delete them though as you were the author & there were no likes. If I deleted one incorrectly just post here with the correction you would like.

Next time please link to the quotes, as requested in the stickied post for this folder.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

This cuts down on errors & is easier for volunteer librarians.

Hi there,

Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it — and apologies as I’m still fairly new here and learning my way around.

Also, yes.. most of those duplicate quotes have been deleted, but there’s still one left:

“Building personal agency isn’t just another professional skill — it’s the meta-skill that will reign through 2050.”

I’ve already removed my version, but it looks like the site copy is still live. Could you kindly delete this one as well?

I wasn’t able to find a direct link to the quote itself, but it does appear as the first quote on this page:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...

One more small request on this quote:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1413...

It currently reads:
“Personal agency is the meta skill that will define professional success all the way through 2050.”

Would it be possible to update it to:
“Personal agency is the meta-skill that will define professional success all the way through 2050.”

(Only change: add a hyphen between “meta” and “skill.”)

Thanks again for your time and support!

Hi Chirag
To click on the individual quote you just click on the number of likes under the quote.

Both requests done.

To help volunteer librarians if you are happy with the corrections please add [done] or similar to the title of the thread. this is only possible in the desktop view.
