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.  Little Prince Know-It-All  Welch,

      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.
