A recent announcement seemed to imply that you were changing the way you assign credit but I don't see any difference so far. I am specifically interested in a page took from the flea market and completely redid yet the page list "Written and researched by R G B Knight-edited by shagbark. More accurate would be written and reaearched by shagbark (project Manager) based on work by R.G.B. Knight.

The announcement said that they're *able* to add customised credits. There certainly won't be any retrospective change overnight; which page was it? Presumably if you post the link, someone important *cough * will be able to tell you more...

There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho Posted Aug 11, 2005
Is this an edited or unedited entry shagbark?

This is available for us to use on Edited Guide Entries but we haven't actually used it yet. It was mainly created so that we could add proper credits for Community Art, though it has a multitude of additional uses.
You should see the first uses of it today in fact.

But where are these first uses Mr. Jimster?

They've, er, been delayed because of an, er, issue.
Apparently the way they were going to be used was confused with something similar but not quite, so we've gone back to the drawing board. I'm keen to do this though as it might solve a few additional problems along the way.

If it wasn't for the explanation given in the second paragraph I'd have assumed that the 'issue' was you guys forgetting...

Traveller in Time not entirely satisfied
"Lots of the confusion about Credits on Edited entries involves (even for regulars) the [Edited by:] credential, this could read [SubEdited by:] for Edited Entries.
Well, the extra credits for the artist is one thing already."
