IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
Please don't download files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

two things: id like you to tweak the summary a little so that you can claim it all to yourself instead of using wikipedia. we are not all agreed on the use of wikipedia in our summaries, but fact is that they are using a different license than we do and this could cause problems, for example when we use the summary on the cd booklet and release that booklet in the public domain.
any time you have the chance before cataloging time is fine.
the second thing is that your file name is awfully long. you are welcome to keep it if you like it that way, but you are also welcome to shorten it a bit, down to maybe "arthursaville_xx_wilde.mp3" if you like

Thanks so much for MC'ing this and for your helpful suggestions, Carolin
