Lexidh Solstad | 58 comments I passed my librarian test a while back, but have not heard back regarding my status. How long is the wait supposed to be?

I figured that part out, since I had to write an application of sorts. But since I have some things to contribute I'd like to handle myself instead of nagging on other librarians (covers, books), I actually have a reason other than "would be so cool" =)

ETA I see you are a GR Author. Authors are not given librarian rights, they can only make certain edits to their own books.

So authors are disqualified from being librarians, even after passing the test and applying? Is that put in writing somewhere official?

Lexidh Solstad | 58 comments It was your claim, I figured you had some proof to back it up.

lethe | 16361 comments It's what I have heard stated repeatedly in this group and elsewhere. Sorry if I can't provide you with proof. You could try searching yourself.
