Thoreau misquote (help me, super librarians!)

If you have already posted requests in the main requests thread please indicate in the threads you are now creating to save duplicate work

What Paula meant was that you should link to your original request, so librarians don't attempt to complete your requests that have already been completed. Adding notes of "PLEASE SAVE DUPLICATE WORK!" just confuses the matter more.

They will not find out until they have done some work, which is a waste of time, unless it is a deletion then they will get a message saying the quote does not exist, if it is a change / edit to the text then there will be work to do before seeing the change

Since I have done all the quotes in the main thread, I dont know which of the new threads have duplicate requests that have already been done. Someone would need to go through each individual new request you have made and check and since most where changes to text it will take time.

If you want to go through them, check and then delete the duplicate thread then thats fine, just leave the ones that where not done in the main thread.
