Go validate if they have been there for a while. I wait two weeks and then
go through and validate all of mine still sitting there.

There are also books on there which have great quality (been checked by the
k1k tools etc.), and they continue to stay on the page. In that case,
should we the submitters just go and validate those books? Would that help
