Yes, and thank you for having me look at him before you post.

Does Ai Weiwei qualify as non-western? He was born in China, but currently lives in Europe. As far as I can tell he is still a Chinese citizen.

Yes. Chinese/Taiwanese. Please remind us when you post, only because I might not remember that I've already checked. ;-)

Just checking, in post 641 Kate is adding 5points for 10.7 - thank you! - but on the Readerboard my total is 1230, but I have it at 1235 with this 5?

Sorry for the delay in response, but this one took me a minute! I have found the mistake and will correct it promptly. Thank you for letting me know.

I am reading The Wind's Twelve Quarters / The Compass Rose by Ursula K. Le Guin, which is a combined edition of two different collections of short stories, so I am wondering whether the date of this collection should be used, or that of the original collections?

And, I don't think these are connected, so does that make POV void?

Set original publication date to 1982, the later of the pub dates of included materials.

20.3 POV probably works, as we've allowed that for other story collections as long as the characters differ in at least some of the stories.

Thanks, I thought it would be 1982 as that is the latest date of the two original editions. I think the only new part is the introduction.

I feel slightly silly bringing this up, but I am missing my little star on the readerboard. I posted the half-way finish in post 523. (The score on the readerboard is correct.)

Could you take a look at Gideon's Fire by J.J. Marric which has a pub date of 1955. I think it should be 1961. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cr...

Yes, there is no edition on the site published prior to 1961. Changed it.

By the way, there is a thread for librarian edits:
