Of all things! I was watching a movie on the Roku channel the other night (a Japanese movie about a very famous artist of the feudal period) when lo! and behold! the author "Bakin" was talked about extensively!! I was shocked! But there he was! And the actor they had portray him in the scene did the role all "bigger than life" and with great screen presence! I was like "oh my gosh!" I remember reading that name in the Bushido book! Shock! Anyway, I had kind of stumbled over the name when I was originally reading it in because sometimes the author was speaking from an American citizen point of view and sometimes from a Japanese citizen point of view throughout the book and I had thought to myself, now, is this a British author? Or?? There was really nothing to distinguish it as a Japanese author and I couldn't get a sense of him reading as a Japanese citizen or as an American citizen (though it's very apparent now, after having seen the movie!) so I took it to possibly be a British author, thereby reading it as a "bay-kin" pronounciation. I saw in the movie, and repeated the scene several times where the actress says his name several times, that it's actually pronounced "baw-kin"!! I thought about it for several days but I think, out of respect and for the sake of accuracy, I want to change that one sentence in Section 3 wherein the author's name appears.
I don't know if your having okayed the section moves it into a different state in the background of Librivox or if it's just in a waiting state until the book is finished. If it's in a waiting state, I'd like to replace the current Section 3 with a newly-edited Section 3 wherein the name is correctly pronounced. I have the edit placed and a file ready to upload, if that's all that has to be done, but being unsure about the inner workings of Librivox, wanted to ask first before I just uploaded it. Of course it would put it in a state of "spot PL" if I upload a new file, as you know.
The name occurs at 13m 41s.
Hi, I am your MC. This serendipity is Amazing! Regards the edit after PL ok. Until the project is catalogued, you can change the desigation of any Section to any of the choices in the drop down list in the right-most column of the MW. So you could change that Section 3 designation to "See PL Notes" then after you upload the edited recording, change it to "Ready for Spot PL" and post in the thread and your DPL will check what you changed.
Hope this helps,
Christine
Please advise, please and thank you!!

Oh, that is cool! And I see that Christine already let you know you can change PL OK files if you need to.Godzilla wrote: ↑February 17th, 2024, 12:40 pm Hi Lynette,

(I, too, would have chosen to fix my pronunciation) Section 3 is PL OK 
As soon as the last section is marked PL ok. I will proceed to catalogue. Great job guys!LCaulkins wrote: ↑February 19th, 2024, 7:16 pm Hi, Gloria!
I hit all your sections today for you so this can go to cataloguing.
Sections 6, 7, and 8 are all PL OK
Section 9 is well recorded, too (you make my part easy!). It just needs its "End of Section 9" before the "End of Bushido" portion.
And I have really enjoyed listening to this for you. I'll spot this for you as soon as I see it come up instead of queueing it
Section 9 is PL OK!
