Well, this mystery gets stranger and stranger. There are now two
copies of Little Prince Know-it-all in books in Processing. Both
are checked out to person 50; both were checked out for proofreading
on March 1. However, one has Carrie's note about protecting the
page numbers and shows that it was previously checked out for
proofreading by Jamie. The second one shows only that it was
submitted by Anastacia with other notes about conversion and such
but shows 50 as the first proofreader.
How this would happen I could not presume to guess.
Cat Lover Lori, who should go back to proofreading and leave this
riddle alone.

Hey, maybe wrong choice of words, I checked out the book for
validation, worked on it, uploaded it, was told it was returnede to
the volunteer queue for more editing, and I couldn't find it and
somebody got it before I could do what I was asked to do for the
page numbers. So, now, with this in mind, who gets the
credit? Somebody finished what I started and the credit was
possibly snatched from under my nose. It may have happened while I slept.

I'm not clear as to what you are saying here. If you scanned and
submitted the book, then you will get credit for it, no matter who
proofreads it, when it gets added to the collection. If you made an
effort to get the pages right, then that work will not be lost,
unless the proofreader messes it up somehow. You can't submit a book
for proofreading and then proofread it yourself, so I am confused by
your statement that you submitted a book for proofreading and then
it got taken from you.
If, on the other hand, you are saying that you were in the process
of proofreading a book and it expired, then someone else took it,
then unless that person indicates that you should receive credit for
proofreading it in the comments section, you will not get credit for
it. By default, the person who uploads the book to the Admin Queue
gets the credit for proofreading it.

Hi, all, I submitted the following book for proofreading and think
it got taken from me when the administrators returned it to the
queue for more editing. I couldn't find the file all day
yesterday. Will I get credit at all? I can't believe I've worked
to get the pages right and may not get anything. Here is the following book.

Thanks for any help at all in this matter as I want credit for
what I've done if possible. I really want to earn what I can as my
job is hanging on by a thread right now. Thanks, have a blessed day.
