Two, actually -- they responded and I clarified.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Good! Actually, I'd like to see these members do their own corrections. They can delete books they manually added and search for them and add existing editions. I'll bet most would be willing to do their own work.

I am unconvinced this would actually clean up the database. Misspelled authors galore!

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Rivka, You're right. That's a common occurrence. Unfortunately. It also accounts for why many members can't find existing books in the database.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Thank you, rivka et al! :)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments I did a little but it was getting done so fast I left it to others. Thank you everybody who kept beating me to the books. ;-)
