Hi Cindy,
You can check the Guidelines for Submission Fields tip to find out information about multiple authors as I suggested in a previous message.
The only problem with kicking back the validated copy is that how do we know the person did not unknowingly make the book worse? They could have inadvertently done something to degrade the quality so it might be a bit confusing to later on to tell who had done what. I'm not saying this is totally implausible but it is worth thinking a bit about.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Mayrie's list of kickbacked books



I've checked half of Maryie's list. Mayrie, you have
more patience than I have at this particulr time. I
must get on with my validating.

BUT--I have written to two people whose books have
been kicked back who I know are not subscribed and so
won't see this list. Some are and probably will see
their books here, but may not understand Gustavo's
notes. Other names I do not recognize from this list
or are Bookshare Volunteer. So how do Gustavo's
comments help anyone if validators don't check the
list daily to see if their validations are on it--and
it still takes time to load, even though it's faster
than it was. (I find it loads faster on IE than on
firefox or netscape. And if people don't think do do a
search, goind through the list to look for a
particular book takes time.

And then there's the fact that some people don't
understand what Gustavo wants. Gerald, I think you
posted here the format for editors and multiple
authors, but there are always new people who haven't
seen that.

And simple mistakes of title, like Pure instead of
Puritan,  or the word "of" instead of "to"--as I think
Jamie pointed out, sometimes we see what we think we
see instead of what is really there, and when G says
check title and the person looks and sees that the
title seems correct, he/she doesn't know what is
wrong.

We're back to needing some other way. Either the
validated book has to be kicked back so someone like
me can correct a title or copyright without having to
re-validate the whole book, or there has to be a way
for Gustavo to send his note directly to the validator
rather than to kick back the original to the download
list. In the case of several of those books, Gustavo's
note was fairly far down in the comments; other people
had taken the book after that and returned it or spent
time editing it. ANd the problem apparently still
existed. In some cases, they released it.

Hello Everyone!

I went through the books on the step one page and
compiled a list of those
with "donedone" on their download pages.  I hope
these are the only  ones
kicked back for small fixes.  There are seventy-two
books on the
list.  I'll paste the list below.

I really hope that this is the list of books you
all were wanting, because
my brain now feels like mush, and the darn list has
so far crashed my
e-mail program every time that I've tried to copy it
into a message.

So, sorry if I've uselessly taken up a huge chunk
in your in boxes.  I
really do hope that this helps some.  I thought it
was really crummy of me
not to be more helpful earlier, so here's what I
came up with.  Okay, I'll
shut up now.

Peace,

Mayrie
