Questions/Problems in Completed Tasks

OK. I didn't really see the shoulders and chest clearly drfined, just her neck. Still an awesome book and I am glad I read it.

[Ceelee]

Thanks Kristina. I figured that was the case when I saw the total didn't match yesterday.

Task 20.9, option 1 requires that you provide a link to a reference establishing the setting when you post if the setting is not obvious from the book's description or metadata."

Completed task posts must include the task number. From what you have included it looks like task 30.4. Please confirm."

Confirm 30.4.

You'll need to post a message, following the directions for shifting books between tasks as explained in the Posting Requirements (linked in post 1 of this thread), in the completed task thread.

Confirm 30.4."

Thanks, Esther. It's been recorded.

Since you've already claimed 25.1 and from the information in the post, I assume this post is supposed to be for task 25.5. If this is the case, no need to repost.

You are correct - it was for 25.5. That was a bad copy and paste on my part. Sorry about that!

Task 30.5, option 1 - The title listed in the metadata as the original title for The Seagull is Чайка. According to Google translates, this is translates directly to Seagull.

The task specifically states "A book with a title in a different language that translates to a synonymous title does not fulfill the task." From Wikipedia: "Gulls or seagulls are seabirds" Task creators cannot change/modify the rules of their own tasks once the tasks are final. This book will not work for this option.

Just letting you know that I shuffled some books around between tasks and it should all work out now. I posted for each book change separately. Whew!

Hi,

My golden oldie total is given as 9, but it was updated to 10 in post 3344. Do let me know if the numbers are ok.

Oops! I added 10 points for a five point task. I will fix the total on my next post (will add 10 points on 15 point task).
Thanks for catching this.

Post 3344 has been edited. This close to the end of the challenge, I attempt to review posts as fast as possible. It's likely I reviewed this post before it was edited. If you'd like to claim a GO ticket that was not originally included in a post, please don't edit posts. We do not go backwards in the completed task thread. Instead, make a NEW post following the directions for asking for forgotten tickets, found in the Golden Oldies and Big Book Tickets.

Task 20.1, option 3 requires a book which has the word "father" or "son" in the title or subtitle. The words must match exactly.

Could you check my GOLDEN OLDIE tickets? I claimed one in post # 3309 that isn't showing on the readerboard.

Books marked conditional for 5 point tasks only count as you one 5 point book between 80 and 99 pages. You've already claimed that 5 point exception for task 5.9 in post 109 on Mar 06, 2020 02:51PM.

Heather(Gibby) - post 3466

I'm not sure if you intended to ask for a Big Book ticket in this post or not. If you are, you must specifically mention in your completed task post that a book is a Big Book. Updating a tally at the top or bottom of your post is NOT enough. Nothing the number of pages when the task requires a Big Book is not enough either.

If you wish to claim a BB ticket for this book, you need to make a NEW post following the directions for forgotten ticket requested as outlined in the Golden Oldies and Big Book Tickets instructions.

I'm not verifying or recording a BB ticket for this post. The only purpose for moderators to verify and record GO and BB tickets is to determine who will create 2 of the 20 point tasks. If you finish the challenge, you already get to create a task. You can only create one task per challegne.

[Kristina Simon]

All completed task posts, including reposts, must include a link to the book(s) you read for the task.

I forgot to claim GO for this post, so that's ok, but I think you missed that I claimed GO in post 1857, and that's why you think I only updated the tally.
