#185 - 186 I am pretty sure we are not going to get any response from OP.
I came across several of their requests in the last couple of months, added some of the books if they provided an acceptable source, and left a couple of notes stating that zacytani.pl and lubimyczytac are not acceptable sources for covers (asked for other sources as well) and not once did I receive any kind of response.
They just posted another request (like 35 minutes ago) with another 4 books and once again provided zacytani.pl as a source for covers.
At this point I am not really sure if they just do not understand or if they ignore us and hope that someone will add those book with covers from a non-acceptable source regardless.
Probably OP makes the requests and leaves notifications turned off.It's very frustrating adding books with incomplete information, or without being able to add the cover.
If you're sure that OP won't respond, you might consider asking for the details you need, and closing the request for repeatedly providing non-acceptable sources.
If OP ever responds, then you can explain that not all sources are acceptable, and that it should be one request per book, and not per half a dozen books
Yeah, I thought the same thing at first, but then I did some digging (I tried to find their older requests to see if someone sorted them out even tho they provided a non-acceptable source) and noticed that they marked several of their requests as "DONE" so I don't think that anymore. I guess it is just easier for them to wait for someone who won't follow the policy as strictly as the rest of us and adds their books with those covers anyway (I came across a couple of threads that were sorted by another librarian without asking for alternative source).
Anyway, I managed to complete both requests (#185 & #186) - some of the books were already in the database and I found the rest on the publisher's website (added with covers) and on WorldCat (added without covers).
Well, I guess we'll see about that. I made a small test:OP was requesting 4 books to be added. I added one and closed the request:
Let's see if they complain.

Interesting approach :-)

Honestly, I thought the same, but for the sake of "a teaching lesson", I didn't want to go to all that trouble and look for the sources myself and preferred to wait for an answer and close the thread without adding the books in case the person does not respond. Maybe that way it would teach the OP to send requests properly.
