Reverting back Mistakes

[Mike]

Library of Congress and WorldCat are not to be listed as the Offal URL.

From the Librarian Manual
-----------------------------------------------

Official URL

Fan sites, libraries, Amazon book pages, WorldCat, Library of Congress, reviews, book sellers, Wiki pages or other such pages should NOT be listed.

-----------------------------------------------

When I first became a librarian. I made the mistake of setting the URL to the Library of Congress. This was before the term was added to the manual, yet still incorrect, even then. Since that time, I have either removed all LOC links or replaced them with the Author's official site.

-----------------------------------------------

Now I'm finding librarians and even Supers, "reverting" my corrections back to their mistakes. I have even seen them revert my author's URL to back to the incorrect Library of Congress URL.

-----------------------------------------------

When revering someone's edits, other than your own, please question yourself, why they changed their own edits or ask them in a message, if you're not clear.

If you have concerns about an edit -- including an undo -- that is what the flag option is for.

Is it possible this happens with combining? When looking for import overrides (or overwrites) yesterday, I found a very strange instance of my ACE cross-reference description no longer appearing, but no apparent change in the log. I decided it probably happened during a combine operation.

#2 - I have done that of message them. I'm trying to reach those librarians that I have not yet seen their errors. It was just by chance, I caught the ones I have.

Strange things do occur during combining; however, that's not the case with the ones I have seen or not that I can tell.

What you are speaking of, correct me if I'm wrong, is in the description field. I have had to re-separate and re-combine to shake the wrong description loose. I have not seen the splitting and combining effect other data areas, with exception of "original date" and "original title," which must be altered if different.
