Hi Laura Ann, This didn't use to be strict policy, but it looks like that's changing now. Sorry you got caught in the winds of change here. I'm pretty sure this must have to do with wanting two people to verify copyright info just to make sure that someone doesn't submit things that can't be accepted and then validate them themselves. It sounds like you've submitted a bunch of nice clean scans and put a lot of work into them, so I'm sure others will enjoy validating them and that they will make the collection soon. Kellie
