If you haven't looked lately, check out http://wiki.logos.com/Metadata_correction_proposals

That means if we've gotten lax in reporting metadata problems because we thought they weren't being fixed, think so no longer, and get back to reporting them. They've hired someone to focus on that and this person has been making short work of our long list, so we need to give them more work to do...

I'm heading on over to report some new ones I've just found tonight.

    Thanks, Rosie. And thanks, Logos.

    These fixes are very much appreciated. Each one adds to the value of the resources we have: it makes our collections more accurate, and therefore searching our collections produces more appropriate results.

    I'm sure there are many others who regularly searching collections based on rules that rely in the metadata, so a hearty thanks.

    Well, I've gone and made the list longer again. [:)]

    Great work, though, Logos! You keep me on my toes.

    I haven't had time to study the new page, but I notice that there are 4 headings on the page, but only 2 of them show up in the TOC. Perhaps someone who knows how to do could add the other 2?

    Oops, my error. I added those two new sections and forgot to update the TOC. Good catch!

    Fixed.

    How does one report metadata corrections?

    Go to this page: http://wiki.logos.com/Metadata_correction_proposals

    Get familiar with its organization first so you know what you're looking for when you go into Edit mode

    Click the Edit tab (upper right).

    Scroll down or use Ctrl+F to find the place in the page where you want to add a line.

    Copy the wiki formatting from nearby lines (e.g., start with a * to make it a bulleted list item, surround titles with * * for boldface). If you're not sure what you're doing, check here for basic wiki formatting commands which are probably all you'll need.

    Click Preview button (below the Editing box) when you're done, before posting your changes. Check that what you did looks OK by scrolling down to see the preview of what it will look like once you post the changes.

    Once you're satisfied that it's what you want, click the Save button (next to Preview).

    EDIT: If you would rather not mess with this at all, you can email logos4feedback@logos.com.
