hi Jan
Done & original publication dates corrected.
There are several reasons why things take so long now.
1 In this case, because you wanted more than a page count changed, you posted in the wrong folder. Page counts are usually done by new librarians or librarians without much spare time. So its ok if the other request is something that doesn't have to be checked like a typo in the description, but otherwise it is best to use this folder;

2 In June 2022 Goodreads stopped regular members from adding books (a decision I agreed with) We are volunteers & just couldn't keep up with the deluge. So then Goodreads...
3 Unleashed some new bots that hadn't been properly tested who did more damage then humans ever could.
If you like, you could apply to be a librarian. There is no obligation to do a minimum amount of edits - you do as much or as little editing as you choose. Nowadays you do have to pass a quiz - & even then you may not be selected. There is more info in the header of this group.
Please allow 20 minutes for the changes to display (much) longer if you are using the app. To help volunteer librarians please add [done] or similar to the title of the thread. This can only be done in the desktop view of the site.
Thanks very much, Carol, for your work, your explanations and your advice.I have edited the title of this thread.
Having done the quiz, that was no success. I've noticed that there is more detailed knowledge required than I had (without having looked in the librarian's manual). Maybe I will try again.
There are some terrible effects of those bots, indeed. I can see that by looking at e.g. booktitles which have the author's name in the title, whereas the author is 'unknown'. I've heard and seen many sighs from Lethe about the ISBN-ASIN-devil a.s.o.
I wish you all the best and luck in your good libr.work!

That's ok.
I am lucky enough to have become a librarian before the quiz (but adding the quiz was also something I agreed with)
If you do still want to become a librarian I would urge you to study the Librarians Manual. But even if you pass, you may not get selected.
All the best
Carol
