  | | Wouldn't you have thought Gnomon would have been among the people who knew who had ownership of entries then?! If anything that's a compliment rather than simply assuming a lack of knowledge (as might be the case with others). Which is why it then raises the issue of whether the advertising wording of this new feature is faulty in perhaps giving the impression that the *original* author of an EG piece would be the one on which it acted rather than the proxy "author".

| | Well the way to test that is for someone to subscribe to someone else and then have that other person create a new (not necessarily exciting) ordinary entry and see if it pops up. I'm guessing that that bit works though.
Where I think you've fallen victim is to not only the mis-wording of the feature but also the misrepresentative time-stamp on edited entries. Firstly, you would probably need to be subscribed to the actual account which creates the edited version of the entry (perhaps the sub-editor unless the software also goes ping when ownership of an A-number is transferred). Secondly, you would have to have been subscribed when that A-number page was actually created rather than when its status was changed to being Edited and a new date was faked on it (unless the software is again supposed to go ping on those events).

| | The page's wording about Edited Guide Entries was wrong. This feature is designed to work for regular guide entries, not (specifically) edited guide entries. I've removed the EG reference from the FAQ page.
The Edited Guide doesn't particularly need any more tools for tracking it - it already has the front page, the 'Month' page and the 'Coming Up' page. This feature is aimed at regular pages.
Sorry for the confusion.

| | ""Indeed, Sub-Editors create the entry finally becoming the Edited Entry."
Just want to query this - when an entry is picked by a Scout and it's accepted by the Eds, the newly created entry gets the Eds name on it until it's sent to a sub. A29091017 for example.
So I would assume that it's actually created by the person accepting the pick?
In case it's sent to a sub before anyone sees it.
