Sandi - post 2305You've claimed task 25.1 in both 2304 and 2305. From the information given, I assume post 2305 is a claim for task 25.2. No need to repost unless this is incorrect, but please adjust your records if needed.
StaceyNC - post 2309Please check your total. I have 195 as of this post. No need to repost.
Sorry, Kristina. that was the intent, yes, and thanks for finding its proper home. I usually pride myself on not making any task submission errors, but that would be the 2nd one for this season.

Angela - post 2437There are several Angelas in our records. Please repost this task with your Readerboard name at the top of your post.
Robin P - post 2466Please repost with working links for both books.
Brooklyn - post 2471Task 30.2 - There are no page numbers for the print edition of I Am Not Who You Think I Am.
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."
Brooklyn - post 2472Task 30.3 - neither the description of The Ones We Choose nor its metadata reference the book's setting. Please repost with a link to a reference that establishes how the book fits the task.
Brooklyn - post 2476Task 50.1 requires books set in a specific country. The description of The Memory Police says it is set on "an unnamed island off an unnamed coast."
ANGELA IL - post 2497All posts for points must include links to the book(s) you read. Copying a post will not preserve the links.
The easiest way to copy the links and all the required info when reposting is to find your original post, click on edit (in the bottom right-hand corner), copy what is in the post, cancel the edit, paste what what you copied into a new message, then add or change any additional information to fix the problem that prompted the need for reposting.
Jessica D - post 2534Task 15.1 - There are no page numbers for the print edition of Do Not Disclose, A Memoir of Family Secrets Lost and Found.

Gah! And I thought I'd get through this challenge with no errors :) Reposting now, record is updated.
Laurah30 - post 2561Task 25.3, option 1 requires a paid occupation, involving training and/or a formal qualification in the title. The Wikipedia article you referenced in your post specifically says a bonesetter practiced without any formal training in accepted medical procedures.
Fly - post 2608Task 10.6 - The paperback version of An Analysis of Oliver Sacks's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales only has 98 pages. It cannot be used for a 10-point task.
whoops! sorry... I was looking at the wrong edition :/
sorry again Kristina... can you see if I already used my one-book-under-100 for a 5-pt task? I don't think I did, but I'm not 100% sure, and all my old posts have moved around
Fly wrote: "sorry again Kristina... can you see if I already used my one-book-under-100 for a 5-pt task? I don't think I did, but I'm not 100% sure, and all my old posts have moved around"No problem. You have not used your one book under 100 pages 5-point exception, yet.
Stephanie127 - posts 2623 & 2624Magazines are not eligible for points in the SRC.
Line - post 2630Task 50.1 requires that you state the country you live in when you post.
Cindie - post 2631Please check your total. I have 195 as of this post. No need to repost.
Robin P - post 2633Please check your total. I have 610 as of this post. No need to repost.
Joanne MI - post 2638Task 10.7 requires that the numeral II must stand alone.

I missed the note in 165 above, otherwise we agree. I have resubmitted that entry correctly.

Andy P - post 2659Task 50.1, option 2 requires 3 countries that border the same ocean and do NOT share a land border. You can travel from France to Italy via land.
Also, when you repost, don't forget the requirement of stating the country you live in.

OK, My mistake I have another book that will work I think, that is set in Greenland. Does that work with Iceland and France?
Andy wrote: "I have another book that will work I think, that is set in Greenland. Does that work with Iceland and France?"Greenland, Iceland & France would work.

Thank you!
KSMary - post 2787Task 30.4, book 2 is an author task. From the Default Rules and FAQs: "8. What if a book has multiple authors in a task involving author names, initials, or other characteristics (gender, birthplace, etc.)?
The general default rule is that books by a single author must be used. "
Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy has 2 authors.
Wayne - post 2802Welcome to the Challenge! We have more than one Wayne in our records. You will need to request a unique Readerboard name here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Once your Readerboard name has been established, please repost your completed task in the Completed Task thread with your unique Readerboard name at the top of your post.

I am that Wayne (that's how I have 585 points)! I managed to cancel my GR account somehow and hoped I could just pick up where I left off. Do you have my email address? If so, just send me a message and I'll confirm.
Wayne said: "I am that Wayne (that's how I have 585 points)! I managed to cancel my GR account somehow and hoped I could just pick up where I left off. Do you have my email address? If so, just send me a message and I'll confirm."Yeah, see, that's the problem. You DON'T have 585 points. When you somehow deleted your GRs account, it deleted all your posts (and the points that went with them). As it says in post 1 of the Completed posts thread, Readerboard points are based on what is posted HERE AND ONLY HERE (referring to the Completed posts thread). Your comment history now only goes back to Nov 03, 2021 at 10:59AM. All your other posts, including links to the books you read, are missing from that thread.
Alas! Oh well, I have no one to blame but myself, and at least I can start the Winter challenge on time.Can I keep my name, or will I still need to use a new one?
Wayne wrote: "Can I keep my name, or will I still need to use a new one?"You'll need to post in the Readerboard name thread (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) to have your profile records corrected. The mod that handles that process will let you know if you'll be able to keep your old RB name or if you'll need a new one.
Delicious Dee - post 2874Task 10.2 requires a book with a title of at least three words in which the initial letters of all the title words are found in the phrase IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE. The initial letters for the title The Matzah Ball are TMB. There is no M in the target phrase.
Bea - post 2897Please check your total. I have 190 as of this post. No need to repost.

Corrected. I forgot to add the two 15 pointers to my Excel spread sheet total.
