All titles and author(s) for all books (all editions) were replaced by numbers: how can we correct? Or is it normal (I doubt so!)?

Thanks

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Oh boy! Looks like a user an author went in and changed it.
Working on reverting it.

Moloch | 3975 comments Thank you very much! Is there a way to "flag" authors that make inappropriate librarian edits?

No - I generally msg rivka or use the contact us link and provide info to GR Support

Krystal109 | 1086 comments I would also contact the librarian and make sure it wasn't an accident before you report them.

It's hard to believe in this case: lafon has corrected it now, but ALL the editions of the books in the series AND the name of the author AND the ISBNs/ASINs etc AND the page numbers had been replaced by "333333333333333333333", "888888888888", "55555555"

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments In this case it most definitely was not an accident. The author in question changed her own works from their correct titles to meaningless data such as "++++++++" and "11111111". Besides that she kept her author profile, but changes the name from what it was originally to more meaningless nonsense (in this case something like "----mmmm").
