Requirements for Reposts are also listed in the Posting Requirements.
Cat - post 89Task 30.6 - I think you've got the wrong In Death book here. The initial letters of Purity in Death spell PID, not RID. You've also used Purity in Death for task 5.6.

gah! I have. :( will correct.

Nick KY - post 184Supersize me is task 15.4, not 15.2. No need to repost, but please adjust your records if needed.
I have a Golden Oldie quesion. I show:Message 151 Richard II by William Shakespeare
First published in 1595 for 1 GO point.
Message 185 The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie.
First published 1936 for 1 GO point.
But the leaderboard just shows one point.
Thanks!

Whoops. Missed the Agatha Christie one! Thanks for letting me know so promptly, Teri-K. The spreadsheet has been corrected and your points on the Readerboard will be adjusted in the next update.

That's fine. Nobody's perfect. :) Thanks for fixing it.
LAUREN JODI - post 214Task 20.6, option 2 requires that you provide a reference when you post if the main character's twin status is not clearly mentioned in the book's description. A reference is a link to an outside, independent source that can be used to verify the information you are providing. References may be a link to an earlier book in the series, a review (inside or outside of Goodreads), an author's page, a Wiki, etc.
Goodreads is not allowing HTML formatting of outside links, but you should be able to copy/paste a URL into a post (I just tried it and it worked).
Requirements for Reposts can be found in the Posting Requirements.
OK. I will repost with the reference. Thanks.
Tammy AZ - post 251Task 10.6 requires a book by a single author. The Boy in the Suitcase was written by Lene Kaaberbøl and Agnete Friis.
Butterflycager - post 255Task 30.1 - There are no page numbers for the print edition of Before Time Runs Out.
From the Rules of the Challenge: "If information in a Goodreads record is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask a Goodreads librarian to update the record if possible. Information required for a task, such as missing print edition page numbers, should be corrected before you post."

Julia103 - post 256Task 5.1 - Rise of a Sky Pirate does not appear to have a print edition.

Tien - post 260 & 263Task 30.1 - There are no page numbers for the print editions of Murder at Enderley Hall and Murder at Elm House.

Oops! I will request approval and re-post.
FYI, you may want to re-word the Rules. The "eBook verification-no print edition" topic is now in the Verification folder (not General Help).
Jayme(the ghost reader) - post 306Task 5.5 requires a book with an ampersand "&" in the title or subtitle. Fortune and Glory: Tantalizing Twenty-Seven does not fit the task.
Kristina Simon wrote: " Tien - post 260 & 263Task 30.1 - There are no page numbers for the print editions of Murder at Enderley Hall and Murder at Elm House.

There are page numbers? Not sure if someone edited in last few days as I've only seen this issue now but they're there. Do you want me to repost this task?
Murder at Enderley Hall -252p
Murder at Elm House -236p
Tien wrote: "There are page numbers? Not sure if someone edited in last few days as I've only seen this issue now but they're there. Do you want me to repost this task?"Weird. I double checked during review because the others had page numbers and I thought is was strange at the time. Now that they're there, yes, could you please repost for me. It's easier for me to pick up your points and add them to the spreadsheet that way. Thanks!

looking at the book data, it appears that the page numbers were added the same day you posted the problem.

Done! I've reposted. Thanks :)
Simone - post 396Task 20.8, option 2 is a cover task. From the Posting Requirements: If the task involves an element on the cover of the book, you MUST include the cover itself in your post.
Requirements for Reposts are also listed in the Posting Requirements.
Jayme(the ghost reader) - post 454Neither of the books you've posted for Task 30.3 fit the task.
Option 2 requires the first letters of each of the words in the title be found in NIGHTSWIMMING. The first letters of each word in The Snow Queen are TSQ. There is no Q in NIGHTSWIMMING.
Option 3 requires the female main character to be a police officer, detective, or private eye. Stephanie Plum is none of these. The list was solely for ideas. This is not a list task.
Patricia - post 534Task 20.3, option A requires the main character to be an active-duty military member (or veteran). The main characters in The Rose Code were not "active duty military members" - they were civilian employees, recruited to do code work "for" the military.
Kristina Simon wrote: " Patricia - post 535Task 20.4 - The Push is not on page 5 (or page 4) of the Unhappy Marriages list"
fyi, it's currently on page 3!
I have another Golden Oldie Question.For message 528 I show 7 points.
For message 544 I show 8 points.
The Reader board shows 7.
Thanks!

Found and fixed. Your points will show up on the Readerboard with the next update. Sorry, Teri-K!
Kristina Simon wrote: " Patricia - post 535Task 20.4 - The Push is not on page 5 (or page 4) of the Unhappy Marriages list"
Strange, it was on page 5 the day I posted but now it's on page 3 (#192). Should I repost with page 3 noted? Thanks.

Okay, I will assign this book to another task and repost. Thanks.
Kathy KSWhile reviewing this season's tasks completed, I discovered that the total tasks I have listed in my last posted task is wrong (and has been for a few days).
It appears that I got that total off when I unclaimed one task. All other figures are ok.
Do I need to do some kind of repost, or do I just adjust that figure the next time I post a task? Like I said, point totals are ok.
Patricia wrote: "Strange, it was on page 5 the day I posted but now it's on page 3 (#192). Should I repost with page 3 noted? Thanks.."Yes, please repost with page 3 noted.
Kathy wrote: "Kathy KSDo I need to do some kind of repost, or do I just adjust that figure the next time I post a task? Like I said, point totals are ok..."
No repost needed. I only look at your point total to make sure it matches what I have on the spreadsheet. I don't look at any of the other things people might be tracking.

Thanks, I thought so...

I'll find something else to read that works. Off to my shelves to look.

I added it anyway; someone else may appreciate it.
Jayme(the ghost reader) - post 651All posts, including reposts, must adhere to the Posting Requirements:
12. Only one task may be included in a post.
Teri-K - post 662Task 30.3, option 2 is a cover task. If the task involves an element on the cover of the book, you MUST include the cover itself in your post.
Laurah30 - post 679Please repost with a task number.
Kristina Simon wrote: " Teri-K - post 662Task 30.3, option 2 is a cover task. If the task involves an element on the cover of the book, you MUST include the cover itself in your post."
Yes, sorry I about that. I realized I'd done it wrong a while after I posted it. Will repost.

Thanks, I can always use it for the 5.10 task .
Heather KS - post 726From the Rules of the Challenge: "5. Books whose main page lists any of these genres: Sequential Art, Comics, Comic Book, or Manga may only be used for 5, 10, and 15 point tasks unless specifically allowed in the task description for a higher point task."
Task 30.1 does not have an allowance for Sequential Art books.
EMurphy - post 756Task 30.1, option 2b requires you to provide evidence of setting if it is not mentioned on the book's GR main page. A ctrl+F search of the main page of The Witch of Portobello brings up neither London nor England. Please repost with a link to a source that states the setting of the book. (GRs will not let you format links, but you should be able to paste them into a post.)
Andy P - post 757Task 10.1 - you forgot to link to the book you read ;-)
Kristina Simon wrote: "Andy P - post 757Task 10.1 - you forgot to link to the book you read ;-)"
Sorry I thought I did. I will repost. This falls into the catagory of the dog ate my homework because I was sure I did post the book.
