Hi

Can you please remove my name from the list of contributers for the following entries? Some of them are edited, and some just won't let me remove my name.

A830387
A738687
A738641
A712595
A701001
A695388
A641305
A527799
A526411
A494525

If I find any others, I will add them to the list.

Many thanks

Ben

How did your name get there in the first place?

Tango

Where?

All those entries. If you don't want it there, it implies it shouldn't be there, so how did it get there?

Tango

No. You are inferring that it shouldn't be there; I was implying that I don't want it there.

Check out the entries for yourself, and see if you can work out what they have in common?

Ben

Oh, i see, they were collabrative entries. I still don't see why you don't want your name there, isn't having your name on them the point of collabrative entries?

Tango

BTW, do feel free to point out that this in none of my business and tell me to go away.

Tango

Um... I thought the point of collaborative entries was to fill up the guide with recipes myself. But what do I know?

It is your business, because this is a public space, and you are a researcher here, so no worries about your question, and no need to go away. However let's just say that I don't want my name on them, and leave it at that, eh?

Thanks for posting, and sorry for being snippy earlier.

B

Ok, one of the points. One of the more selfish points.

I didn't think you were be being "snippy", so no problem there.

I guess i'll just assume you want others to take the blame for the entries. No, seriously, it's up to you, so I'll go away now. Bye!

Hi Ben,

I've removed your credit from the Edited Entries. I'll speak to the Community Team regarding your credit on the other page.

Jimster

Thanks Jimster, it is appreciated.

NP Tango - see you around.

Hi Ben,

If you tell Alji that you want your name removed from the Birth sign poll - Astro-logica - H2G2 Astrology Guild entry then I'm sure he'll oblige for you. Is the 'remove my name' button/link not working for you? If not then I'll report it as a bug.

May I ask why you've asked for your name to be removed from the Collaborative entries?

(Collaborative entries are a nice way for people to contribute short pithy nuggets of wisdom, and recipes always seem to be popular with Researchers. )

I will pop along there and ask him.

The feature worked for me on a lot of entries, which I managed to sort out for myself, but not on this one for some wierd reason. The error message I get is:

"Your name could not be removed from the list of Researchers for the Guide Entry Birth sign poll - Astro-logica - H2G2 Astrology Guild. because you aren't on the Researcher list."

How wierd is that?

Thanks for your help Mina.
