Nenangs | 464 comments I'll be straight to the point.

Do we have policies about the book titles letters?

I came across several books with titles written in All Caps (All Capital Letters) such as these:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...
etc

While they were annoying, but if there are no rules against it I would not dare change them since they seem to be added manually.

Thanks,
Nngs

In my opinion, it's a relatively minor issue, but I do correct all-caps title when I have a chance. You can go ahead and do so.

jenjn79 | 564 comments I tend to correct all-caps titles as well.

I think the person who created those was following the syntax on the book covers uploaded, but the original titles weren't in all-caps. So I don't see anything wrong with correcting them.

Coqueline | 33 comments I don't know what happened, but it seems like the librarian mentioned by Nenangs has deleted all of the books she added earlier. Which is a bad thing, since she's one of the top Indonesian librarians, and these deletion means quite a big chunk of the Indonesian books that were previously catalogued, are now catalogued no more.

That's a shame. The titles can be fixed without being deleted.
