Drace (dracenines) | 7476 comments So I know that the guidelines recommend bumping most threads in the Librarians group every 2 days, with the exception of New Book/Edition threads, which the guidelines say should be bumped once a week. What about threads in the project folder? Since they tend to involve a lot more work and it's a slower-moving folder I would assume that a week would be the recommended time, but I think I'd like to gauge the librarians' opinion on the matter.

If it helps at all, one of the threads I have going in the project folder right now is for a new book that is missing a lot of information and an entire edition, and trying to figure out how often I should bump that thread is a big reason I'm asking here.

Thanks for any input.

This sounds like 2 posts in 2 folders: one for the Book & Author Page Issues and the other for the Adding New Books

The thread's already been completed with help from Liralen, but I tried to consolidate it into one post. Originally it was just for making a lot of corrections on one edition. Usually I keep those to Book/Author Page Issues, but this one was kind of lengthy.

The two other big project threads I currently have are for cleaning up issues with British editions of three different trilogies by William Gibson and a huge cleanup thread for the most recent British editions of J.G. Ballard's bibliography. I figure these can be bumped less frequently (maybe once every week or two weeks), but I thought I should look to the librarians just to confirm.

Sorry for the delay as we work through the backlog of questions!

We like that cadence for the Project folder, and if there aren't any other recommendations for this timeline we'll update the 'bump frequency' point on September 8th, in this announcement.
