wrong publishing date

[Josefina]

It says "first published January 1st 1388" which is clearly not the case :)
Would someone mind changing that to august 2008? Thank you!

GR staff should be able to change this, overriding Persian dates.

So long as the manual and several threads still state to use the Gregorian calendar, I'll change Persian dates :)

Have corrected the publication date on the Persian edition.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Yeah, and I could easily have changed it. But staff can leave Persian dates and still have the original published date be Gregorian.

[lethe]

But, do we want that? :P

I just checked, and we have no such feature.

Thank you. Can you check, then, what has happened here?

rivka, in answer to your comment on the topic Elizabeth linked to, it was flagged.

But what we would like to know is, how is it possible that the Persian edition has a Persian publication date, but the original pub date was later changed to 2005 (I believe it was), and doesn't revert to the Persian date when edits are done? We are just mystified by that.

It did change (and was changed back). Not every edit triggers the pub date check.

Ok, I'm sorry I didn't come here first instead of trying to follow up the thrust of the question in the other thread. I guess this goes to how the system works. If not every edit is going to trigger the pub date check, perhaps that needs to be investigated/fixed.

Thanks rivka! Now I can sleep soundly :)
(Goodnight, Elizabeth!)

I think I still don't understand the process, which is what was being asked in the other thread. There remains a book with a Persian date, yet the original pub date is 2005.

#12 - Actually they have reverted the date of the book in the other thread to Gregorian, and made a note that it should not be changed to the persian, because of GR policy, so I think that satisfies your question.

Yes, thanks for the follow-up.
