re changing items to NOT A BOOK - shows as 2 edits for 1
date

At a guess, perhaps changing the author is counted separately from the other edits? It would seem to be a more substantial change than the others....


It certainly looks like it's processing the author change first and then the title change; for the ones you did, what did the change log look like?
edit: Okay, I did another one a little extravagantly, and it definitely looks like the author change is separate from the others.
Still, I think it's pretty important to change the author and get it away from the author's real books!

I guess that I'll go back to editing these when I find them.
When I have time, I edit both; when I'm in a hurry (or doing a cluster with one not-real author) I just change the author. As far as "credit" for edits, I need all the credit I can get! vitalinew and Michael are leaving me in the dust! ;)
But seriously, however many edits something counts as, it counts as. I'm certainly not going to worry about it. (Much.

Anyway, just went into recent librarian edits and, even though I made all the changes before I clicked the save changes button, each edited calendar shows as 2 edits.
I really think GR members could miss the NOT A BOOK in the author field so I do prefer adding it to the title too.
But, what do other librarians think? (I don't want to "take credit" for more edits than I've actually made. And I don't know why the double edit per item shows.
EDIT: Ditto with NOT A BOOK for a poster.
This doesn't happen when I combine or separate books, just when I do the NOT A BOOK type edits, and it doesn't seem to happen to other librarians.
So, think I will stop doing these for now...
EDIT AGAIN: And of course now I am coming across many examples of NOT A BOOKs. Ah well.
