You are the BC for your Solo and will need to fill in the Magic Window (MW) . This may help http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Soloists:_How_to_update_the_Magic_Window. I've filled in the first 3 titles to give an example - see how you get on.

In the catalogue,the book is linked to Ralph VAUGHAN WILLIAMS (1872 - 1958). It should be W. Mattieu Williams. Since I can't change the catalogue, could someone attribute this book to the correct author, please?

MW looks good
I added the times to it - it's the way we keep track of files being complete when we move them
Let's give it a day or so to see if a DPL drops by , if not we'll advertise for one.

[NikisEssentials]

Oh yeah. I'm not doing anymore today. I just wanted to get those two finished edited and put up. And I remembered about the times when I was out on a walk with my dog like few minutes ago. So I just got back so I'm glad you called it and got it for a good. Because it would've still been a while. Seem to be having blonde moments.

[TriciaG]

May I DPL?

[NikisEssentials]

I guess so. Although I don't think you're asking me for some reason. But sure, I don't really care. I just read stuff because
