Some people just want the credit and do the bare minimum to get that credit. I
do think most, if not all, of us here are beyond that, but there are some
validators who don't even do a spell check. That can be obvious with some of
the books in the collection. A lot of us do want better than that, and a lot of
us care more about the quality than the credit, but there are some things that
would have been easy to spot if the validator would have done a little more
than the minimum. I've seen that in some of the books I've read. Take care.

Julie,
Forgive my impertinence, but why would someone validate a book if they really
don't care? Seems that if one is willing to volunteer to take on that kind of
work, it should be because they want the books on the site to be the best
possible.
Peace,
Ernie

Hi, Tom. I can understand what you're saying about this, but sometimes, if
books are poorly done, really long or anything like that, it might take longer
to get them done. Some validators are perfectionists and want their books to be
as good as they can make them. Others just do the bare minimum and let it go at
that. Some books would be rejected if a validator who really cared about that
particular book couldn't keep it until it was worthy of putting up and as good
as it could be made. This might not be an issue for some, but for other books,
they may be rare or something that most people might not think about
rescanning, so that book might not ever make it to the site if that happens.
These are all just thoughts out loud and probably at least some reasons for why
there is no limit. take care.

Gerald, A second thought, Has Bookshare ever decided to limet the number
of edit renewals allowed? It would seem that after a reasonable period, the
book should be returned to the step-one Q. Tom

Tom,
Janice has said that it's been a bit of a mad house around there since
back in December due to anual end of the year tasks and getting things
backunder control since the holidays. Once things calm down a bit I would
imagine that Gustavo will whittle down the Awaiting Admin Approval queue. As
for if he ever gets to the bottom, I believe he did that two or three times
last year and ended up sending out a message that he had nothing to approve.
HTH
Gerald

Hi Everyone, been laying low for a while. But I have a question, do
you think Gustavo will ever get to the bottom of the administrative Q? Still
have books sitting there from September, and my Dreamland series by Dale Brown
has-never been found apparently, lost, "lost beneath the streets of Boston,"
their fate never to be learned, as the song goes. The answers I get are vague,
that the books are out being edited, since May or June? Tom
