Hello,

Could you please remove the following books that do not match the specific criteria of the list. These authors are not born in the United Kingdom.

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...

Books to remove:
- The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (born in South Africa)
- The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis (born in Ireland)
- The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis (born in Ireland)
- The Golden Goose by Jacob Grimm (born in Germany)

Thank you!

Books removed from the list.

I think Lewis was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which I think is part of the United Kingdom.

You're right, Belfast is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I'm sorry I didn't check that. The birthplace of C.S. Lewis has been entered as Belfast, Ireland in his GR author page, possibly because he was born before the partition of Ireland. I'm not from the UK or Ireland, so not that familiar with the history.
Ion: can you specify whether you want the list to contain authors only from Great Britain, or the whole United Kingdom?

Camilla, Cyndy is right. I made a mistake regarding C.S. Lewis. His books should stay on the list.

I wasn't positive, since he was born several years before the partition. Thought maybe I should come back and say I probably shouldn't have added my two cents. :-)

The rule for the list would make CS Lewis eligible, as his place of birth is currently within the territory administered by the UK.
Again, apologies for the mistake.

Thank you for confirming, Ion. I've added the two C.S. Lewis books back to the list. Unfortunately, with edits to lists, there isn't a similar option to undo edits as there is for book edits. To add the books back, I've voted for them, but they are now the last books on the list, the earlier vote(s) are gone.

Thank you!

I am submitting a request to remove two books that don't belong on the Listopia list I created. The top two books on this list are not about play therapy. I even wrote the request in the comments section below the list. I would appreciate your help on this. Thank you.

Done."

Thanks!

I am also requesting that these two books on top be removed from this list please. They are not about female librarians.

Can you give titles? Because the top two on the list definitely are about female librarians
