Once again I plead for a change in the policy regarding credit for updates. I have been sending my Ukuleles Entry URL to people including a TV company who are doing an item on my band, and it is a bother and embarrassment to have to tell them 'I wrote this even though someone called Eliza gets the primary credit'.

Furthermore I say in a footnote 'This Researcher plays ...' but the reader is under the impression that there are two Researchers involved.

An easy rule of thumb would be, if none of the original Entry remains, the new writer should get sole credit.

I have discussed your request, with other members of the Core Team. In this particular instance we feel that it is perfectly reasonable to remove the credit of the person who wrote a prior version.

Her original Entry remains ( unedited)

Therefore you are now the sole author of this Entry: A241057

Thank you, Lanzababy!

I don't want to scrub Gnomon from A2106 Harpsichords, even though I contradicted just about every aesthetic remark he had made in his version; I rather like the irony of that.

But for future updaters, I hope this exception you have made for me will become a rule.

I must say I feel quite the same about my Concrete Entry. smiley - ermA158609 There's not one sentence left of the original, same with the MMO stuff I updated.
