Sometimes the V key just doesn't want to play with the Ctrl key.

Another mismatch, plus one match

V again. I blame a cat.

https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/V#combinations

V for Veline ;)

>6 Nicole_VanK: Exactly.

Mismatch/user error (Burundi):
https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/Genocide--Burundi#combinations

Autori is plural, not singular -- one proposal is okay, the other . . not so much

https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/autori+Uruguay#combinations

I'm not sure I'd combine "autori" with "writers". I think "autori" means "authors", and there are a lot of "writers" that I wouldn't include in that category.

>9 lilithcat: But that's a different issue, isn't it (lol).

I copied the wrong entry -- please vote against it:

>11 geophile: But if they were the same person, it would . . create some interesting questions.

copy mistake: isole Falkland = Falkland Islands (already combined with 'Falklands')
Strid Falkland is more like Falkland war

https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/isole+Falkland#combinations

>13 karenb: Voted against the "Strid Falkland" combination. Are you asking us to vote Yes or No to combining "isole Falkland" with "Falklands"?

Yes to combining "isole Falkland" with "Falklands". Thanks.

>15 karenb: Thanks, voting Yes to that one.

Something strange is going on when trying to combine two tags that should be combined, but the resulting pair is something else entirely. Vote NO

Tags with quotation marks do weird things to combination proposals.

My own copy-paste error -- Brooklyn, and one of the neighborhoods thereof.

Oops, "Cape Twon" was a typo : http://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/Cape+Town+%28South+Africa%29#combinations

https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/Q-Ships#combinations

Q-Ships and Q Ships are the same thing, heavily armed merchant ships with concealed weaponry, designed to lure submarines into making surface attacks, used by both sides in both world wars. Please vote up.

Unfortunately, either I or LT also created a proposed combination to Q+Ships; please vote that down.

Please vote against it.

Oops - I accidentally proposed combining "sensualità" (meaning sensuality) with sexuality.

Oops -- another copy and paste error:

geophile has proposed combining the tags NY Public Library and NY Public Library 100 Titles.
https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/New+York+Public+Library#combinations

Please vote against it.

I forgot for a moment that combinations with a tag using quotation marks causes problems. Please vote against my "Pretty mouth and green my eyes" proposal.

https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/Pretty+mouth+and+green+my+eyes#combinati...

>29 aspirit: Do them the other way around - copy the one with quotation marks into the combine field of the one without. That works.

>30 SandraArdnas: Thank you! The new proposal does look correct.

Oops -- I made an error:

geophile has proposed combining the tags Series: Lost and found 3 and Lost & Found series.
https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/Series%3A+Lost+and+found+3#combinations

Please vote against it.

Alas, I made another error, and combined a singular with a plural.

https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/Volcanoes--Krakatoa#combinations

Please vote against it.

I voted yes on that one, since both seem to me to refer to the singular volcano, Krakatoa. (Volcanoes--Krakatoa looks like it means category Volcanoes, specifically Krakatoa)

>34 r.orrison: Same here, there's only one volcano named Krakatoa so I don't see a functional difference between plural and singular volcano in this case

I made a cut-and-paste error:

https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/%5BChronicles+of+Narnia%5D#combinations
geophile has proposed combining the tag Chronicles of Narnia and Chronicles.

Please vote against it

For some reason the text of the first tag abbreviated.

It should have read: Slipcased Set "25th Anniv. Coll.The Lord of The Rings" w/souvenir booklet. Instead it shortened to "Slipcased Set". (The difference between the two tags should have been the two periods after "Coll..")

geophile has proposed combining the tags Slipcased Set and Slipcased Set "25th Anniv. Coll.. The Lord of the Rings" w/souvenir booklet.
https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/Slipcased+Set+%2225th+Anniv.+Coll..+The+...

Please vote against this combination.

>37 geophile: Double quotes break the tag-combination-suggestion mechanism

Also, extremely long tags are sometimes truncated. I believe it's like with tags with quotes - it breaks only when it's the tag you combine with, but works if you paste it to be combined with a non-buggy tag.

Sorry, made another cut-and-paste error:

https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/tuberculosis#combinations
geophile has proposed combining the tags China--tuberculosis in and tuberculosis.

Please vote against it.

https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/Simon+Bolivar#combinations

The first combination truncated the very long tag. Vote against as such tag doesn't exist to begin with.

Starting with the long tag and combining with a shorter one worked, so the second pair is the legitimate proposal of two existing tags for Bolivar.

Can I make the excuse I was distracted by the new Tags combination page and trying to remember how it used to look, that I missed a copy/paste error (Barnes vs. arnes).
Please vote no.

>42 Nevov: "Can I make the excuse I was distracted by the new Tags combination page"

Perfectly excusable. Is there any gadget where this could be counted an improvement? I guess the page is "designed" to look good on some phone or another. It's hard on the eyes on a PC.

Aaarrg -- more issues with quotation marks.
For some reason I thought that if the quotation mark wasn't the first character, it would be OK. Apparently, I was wrong. Please vote against this one:

https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/%22Fever+Dream%22#combinations
geophile has proposed combining the tags Ŧ and "Fever Dream".

I was trying to combine the tag 'Asperger"s Syndrome' with a couple of other tags, but for some reason the other tags combined with 'Asperger' instead. I guess that even in the middle of a word, the double quotes cause problems. (sigh)

Please vote against these two combinations:

Please vote down my flag. I flagged it before realising that the work record was a mix of the author's "The good birdwatchers guide" and "The birds of Radnorshire". I have since separated the books.

>47 Llyfryddwr:

?? Was this a flag on the cover? The work? Where?

>48 lilithcat: An inapplicable to the work cover flag, on the first linked work in >47 Llyfryddwr:.

Got caught with quotation marks again:

geophile has proposed combining the tags Deirdre and Deirdre "Foxtrot" Lancaster.

Please vote against it.

Oh dear -- I missed another one! Darn quotation marks! :-(

Unfortunately the first time it came up as Slightly+Foxed.

geophile has proposed combining the tag Catholic Church - Byzantine - Melkite and Byzantine.

Please vote against it.

Oops, I made an error:

https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/series%3A%20baby-sisters%20club%20myster...

geophile has proposed combining the tags Baby-Sitters Club Mystery Series and series: baby-sisters club mystery.

Please vote against it.

>57 geophile: The one use of the "sisters" version of the tag is clearly a typo, so I'm voting yes.

>58 norabelle414:
Yes, I figured it was probably a typo, but "baby sisters" also made sense, so I figured that I probably shouldn't combine it.

Drat, I made another error:

https://www.librarything.com/tag/detail/foundation%3B%20science%20fiction%3B%20s...
