Refresh-book-data edits on Librarian Change Log

[Experiment BL626]

I noticed that when you use the the refresh-book-data options located next to the description's box on the edit page, the Librarian Change Log doesn't make a notice of this. Someone has been abusing this on some of Karen Chance's books, particularly Touch the Dark.

I and previous librarians tried to change the nonsensical description to the official one found on the author's website, but our changes keep getting erased...I just added a librarian note to make whoever is doing it to stop but I'm unsure if it would be effective against the abuser.

I wish to suggest that whenever a librarian does the refresh-book-data edit, the edit is marked down on the Librarian Change Log.

A problem was that the nonsensical description was marked as the default description. I changed that to the B&N review and so far it seems to be sticking.

No, I did the same make-this-default-description too, several times. It didn't stick either. =S

FYI, this is the official description:

Cassandra Palmer can see the future and communicate with spirits-talents that make her attractive to the dead and the undead. The ghosts of the dead aren't usually dangerous; they just like to talk...a lot. The undead are another matter.

Like any sensible girl, Cassie tries to avoid vampires. But when the bloodsucking Mafioso she escaped three years ago finds Cassie again with vengeance on his mind, she's forced to turn to the vampire Senate for protection. The undead senators won't help her for nothing, and Cassie finds herself working with one of their most powerful members, a dangerously seductive master vampire-and the price he demands may be more than Cassie is willing to pay...

It's actually possible no librarian is doing this. For some reason, Amazon's API seems to override descriptions sometimes. Attempts to determine why/how this happens have had no useful results.
