Saren | 1 comments According to the librarian manual, out-of-print books (including no longer available ebooks I assume) shouln't be deleted, but are blanked titles and descriptions okay ?

Removed by contract holder

Doesn't sit right with me, even if it was done by the author...

Moloch | 3975 comments I believe that was a vandalism and I'd restore the data. Let's wait for rivka or other superlibrarians, though

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments It is vandalism and should be restored to correct data with a librarians note indicating it is against GR policy and to post in librarians group if there is a problem

There is no need to post you can if comfortable revert the changes yourself and leave a note

Banjomike | 5166 comments Do all 66 editions of her book really have different titles?

Blanked descriptions are NOT ok but adding an out-of-print reference is allowed.

Fandury | 127 comments No, these are mostly different book she combined after naming them Removed by contract holder. I seperated them all, and combined the correct books going mostly by name and cover, as a lot of them have the book description removed.

The series for these books seem to be completely messed up. If someone has time to take a look, that would be great.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments I am still going through them and re ordering/ adding appropriate author names will add the series stuff as the last thing

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments I've got the series. (The short stories aren't connected at all.)
