Section 2 sounds good. We still have, however, an issue at 19:01. Would you mind checking that once again?

[adr6090]

Here are my three edited sections. Please let me know how they are as I did apply all of your suggested edits.

Howdy pardners!

Can I claim section 3 to read?

[RitaBoutros]

April, sections 1 and 14 are great. I'll update the MW with these versions.

As to section 33, the recording still needs editing as it says:

Part II, chapter 33 and should say: Part II, chapter 19 in both the intro and at the end.

It is chapter 33 though and
not chapter 19.

I just rechecked the table of contents of this book. The author divided it up into two parts. The first, Part I is comprised of chapters I through XIV.
The second, Part II, is comprised of chapters I through XIX. So even though it is section 33, it is actually Part II, chapter XIX.

I'm wondering if either Ann or April would be kind enough to get this straightened out in the MW asap, because I'm sure future readers will be confused by this as well. It certainly confused me! Thank you!

Howdy pardners!

Can I claim section 3 to read?

Hello & welcome to Librivox.
Yes, section 03 is now yours to read.
I did notice that you have already taken the
1 minute test.
What name would you like to use as your
reader name?
No rush as I will not look at Librivox until
tomorrow though I will know section 03 is
held for you.

[icequeen]

OK, so what happened to the first post?

[cardtosser]

I'm also trying to join another project, I would just like to be called Ben Nguyen in the catalog.

I'll get to recording section 3 as soon as I am able to.

[adr6090]

OK, so what happened to the first post?

I have to admit to probably being the one at fault here. You see I was changing words as Rita and I had thought best. Never again will I take that on, I will leave it to the Mc. I know that I could have done that if I had only focused on the words and not the entire section. Sorry I am

Sorry once more and I promise to NOT take it upon my shoulders to do what I should not have done. Now what Ann? I will check back a bit later on hoping for a good outcome here.

[RitaBoutros]

I just rechecked the table of contents of this book. The author divided it up into two parts. The first, Part I is comprised of chapters I through XIV.
The second, Part II, is comprised of chapters I through XIX. So even though it is section 33, it is actually Part II, chapter XIX.

I'm wondering if either Ann or April would be kind enough to get this straightened out in the MW asap, because I'm sure future readers will be confused by this as well. It certainly confused me! Thank you!

Ann and April, I would like to make sure the instructions to readers are crystal clear. They are citing Part and Chapter number and NOT section number. Thank you

I just wanted to make sure that I didn't fix something that didn't need to be. But, easy peasy, it is fixed. April, look over the first post and make sure that I have it copied correctly. Rita, please look at the first post and see if it is set up as you have suggested. If anything needs to be fixed, let me know and I will perform some magic!

Please, April, don't think that you are in trouble! I have seen things waaaay worse than what happened here! Not a big deal at all!

Looks spot on to me and I seriously can not manage to convey my "thanks" to you adequately here. THANKYOU!!! (from the botttom of my heart)

[adr6090]

oops on me Ann. I do see where it could be changed in the thread for at the end of the recording where it currently shows :There should be ~5 seconds silence atPlea the end of the recording.
Can you please perform some of your magic and remove the Plea?
