Questions/Problems in Completed Tasks

I seem to have a jinx right now.
30.3 message 1542 I had a total of 235. That was correct
Then the problem begins, my fault originally:

I think something's gone wrong somewhere in the unclaim/reclaim process, or I've missed another task you've posted somewhere along the way. I have your points for 25.2 logged.
These are the tasks I have logged for you:
10.2 / 10.5
15.8
20.1 / 20.3 / 20.4 / 20.5 / 20.7 / 20.8
25.2
30.3
I must be missing one somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

OK, I think I see what happened and take responsibility for confusion.
The missing points are for 20.6, which was posted in message 205.
The problem began with my jinxed posts.

**UNCLAIM!!** Stats adjusted below. IGNORE THIS, I pasted in the wrong task!!!
20.6 - It's A Fact- Julia103's Task: This is Jeopardy! [and then the rest of the post...]
I noticed the minute I posted and edited RIGHT THEN to add the ignore part. Obviously, that messed things up, I guess I thought you'd just skip it all, so didn't change the counts at the bottom.
Anyway, these are my valid counts and should total 230 according to three different types of count I have.
10.2 / 10.5
15.8
20.1 / 20.3 / 20.4 / 20.5 /20.6 / 20.7 / 20.8
25.2
30.3
Sorry this is a pain, but that should fix things

Somehow I missed the bit in bold. Genuinely not sure how I managed that.
Fixing your totals now - and thanks for finding the issue so quickly!

I'm just glad we got it figured out. Thanks for responding so quickly.

You'll need to repost, I'm afraid. Given the sheer number of posts in the claim threads, it's not really feasible for mods to go back through them. Sorry!

Task 25.4 book B has "required: state the author is new-to-you".
Mod
Task 20.8 option 3 requires you to state the page of the list the book is found on.
Mod
Task 15.5 - Author names are used as they appear in the Goodreads record. Ian Fleming is therefore IF and does not match a three-letter IATA airport code.
Mod
Task 25.2 option 3 requires two sets of consecutive double consonants in the title/subtitle/author name. Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson only has one (NN) - EE is double vowels.
Sarah EThere seems to be a mix up with my GO and It's a Fact tickets on the readerboard. I should have 1 GO ticket and 2 It's a Fact tickets, but the readerboard says 2 GO tickets and 1 It's a Fact ticket.
One GO ticket from post 1618
Two It's a Fact tickets from posts 1709 and 1760.
I suspect it was 1760 that went wrong, as everything was correct until then.
Thanks for everything you do, it must be such a lot to keep on top of.

Claim posts must include the task number.

Task 50.1 book 2 - The Choice appears to be set in the fictional realm of Talamh (GR description and GR series description). If this is not the case, please repost with a reference to verify the Ireland setting.
Mod
Task 30.3 option 3A - your chosen option requires matching one of Lucy Liu's TV appearances. Death to 2021 is listed under film appearances.
Mod
Task 50.1 book 3 requires you to state you've never been to your dream destination.
Mod
Task 15.10 requires you to state your native language(s) as well as the book's original publication language.

Please check your totals. My records have you on 540 points.
No need to repost.
Jayne wrote: "Lisa MD message 1950Please check your totals. My records have you on 540 points.

I think you have credited me too many points. I was at 485 then posted 30 points on message 1950 to total 515, which matches my spreadsheet.
Mod
How strange. I wonder if I've accidentally assigned you someone else's points somewhere.
These are the tasks I have completed for you:
5.2, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 = 25
10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.7, 10.9, 10.10 = 80
15.6, 15.7 = 30
20.1, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5, 20.6, 20.7, 20.9 = 140
25.1, 25.2, 25.4, 25.5, 25.7 = 125
30.1, 30.2, 30.3 = 90
50.1 = 50
Total of 540.

I have not claimed Task 25.7 yet, which is coincidentally the task I created. You must be psychic though because it it the next time I will be claiming.
If you credited me with someone else's Task 25.7, then it occurred between my last 2 posts, Message #1835 & 1950.
****Updated
I believe the points belong to Trishhartuck, message #1931. Per her post she should have 515 points and the readerboard shows her at 490.

Good sleuthing! Turns out that's exactly what happened. I've fixed it on the sheet, it'll all be corrected in the next update.

Between the Dawn and Day: Galaxy Girl Book Two appears to be an ebook with no page count listed for the print edition. If you know the paperback page count you can have it added in anyone with librarian status or have the ebook verified for length in the ebook verification thread
Re post 1984, I made an adding mistake and my total should be 345
Mod
Got it, will fix that in the next update. Thanks for letting me know!
Kathy KSMy Readerboard seems incorrect, as of my post at message 1994.
The main totals are fine, but my It's a Fact total didn't get added. It should show "3".

Task 25.2 - from the Rules of the Challenge: Books must have at least 100 pages to be used for points in the SRC. One book between 80 -99 pages may be used for one 5 point task.
Your edition of And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer has 97 pages and the top paperback (Всяка сутрин пътят към дома става все по-дълъг) has only 64 pages.

Yes please. I should be doing a Readerboard roundup in the next day or so, all being well.

Task 15.2 option A requires a page count with a 7 and 4 in it. The edition of Falling in Love you linked to has a page count of 256.

Task claims must include the task number.

Task 25.5 option 1 - middle initials are included and there is only one J available in JBCM.

Task 15.1 requires you to read two different books, from two different options.
I don't want to step on toes, but would like to know the answer to this question for future SRC tasks:In message 2151: by Rachel (Completed Tasks Sum23), it seems you have allowed the use of
for part of the task.Several years ago, I tried to use the first volume in that series for a task and it was DISallowed because the rules state: "Collections of syndicated, periodical or internet comic strips, single or short-format panels, or cartoons must be at least 200 pages to be used for SRC tasks." [emphsis added].
The Sarah's Scribbles Facebook page calls this a webcomic, although I was going to read the libraries paperback copy.
So, is it OK to use this series now? I'd love it, if so, but thought I better clarify which rule is applicable.
Thanks.

Right, this comes down to me not having known it's a webcomic. That's a mistake on my part and it shouldn't have been allowed through.

30.3 message 1542 I had a total of 235. That was correct
Then the problem begins, my fault originally:
message 1714: by Kathy KS Accidentally posted to unclaim 30.4, but pasted in info for 20.6. Edited quickly to cancel that. See below for the following, correct post….
30.4 ***UNCLAIMED*** message 1715: Total points : 235-30=205
Then later posted:
25.2 message 1718 Total points : 230
But the Readerboard now says: 210!! Please catch me up.
My tickets were all adjusted correctly, so they are fine.
