Grisette | 233 comments The context: A wattpad author's works (completed stories) has been added to GR without input from the author.

If I want to request page count to be added to the GR page, how do I go about it?

I have the exact word count from Calibre but can this be used as an approximate for a page count?

Can I even submit a request for page count add up if the original author has not owned its GR page? In the same context, can I request other changes, e.g. edition info, cover etc

Thanks for any guidance on this.

Thanks for the heads up, I was unsure where to post. Changing the header now!

I asked you to change the folder but also told you where to post requests for help."


Thank you, I know where I can post the request, but my initial question was how will the word count determine the page count. In the past whenever I submitted a request there, I had the page count info from published sources. For Wattpad books, the difficulty is that the word count is determinable through Calibre but not the page count (as far as I know). I do see the link you gave me, thank you, but can you confirm if using that counter will be agreeable and valid to the librarians dealing with the page requests?

Sorry that I understood your initial reply as having to post in the correct folder to get the full answers to my initial post.
