How many requests is too many?

[Tawnya]

I am doing a very popular author right now. There are going to be quite a few that will need to be merged by the time I am done. I will obviously wait until whatever is happening with the merging is resolved. I have been keeping track on a word doc. After things are moving smoothly again, I was wondering how many merge requests is sufficient. I remember several months ago I put WAY too many in one page.

I was wondering if 3 per page would be too many. I was hoping to submit one page a day. The author has 6 books that are extremely popular. One of the books has been added almost 4 MILLION!! times. That one has 670 editions in the largest thread. The one I am doing now had 335. I have 6 books so far that need merging.

I figure it will take a couple of weeks to go through all of them.

For me, one request per thread has always been preferred. That way I can do it when I have five minutes without worrying about leaving a thread half done.
If the requests are very simple, e.g., deleting a placeholder or an unnecessary ACE without a recombine or a merge of an invalid with the default edition, then having more requests on the same thread are also fine. Basically, what I can do in five minutes is where I'd prefer it.
