Wrong Melvil Decimal Classification

The Purple Violet of Oshaantu is classified as a North American work, however it is written by Namibian author, Neshani Andreas, and should, presumably, be classified accordingly. Is the Melvil Decimal entry user-editable? If not, can the entry for this work be corrected by the LT team?

There is a CK field for canonical MDS. I assume its purpose is to override the aggregated one if incorrect.

Edit: OCLC classify says the libraries classify it as 823.92 or just 823

If the book's original language is English -- I'm assuming it is since I didn't see any other details and I'm not familiar with the book -- then the OCLC Classify info sounds right to me: 823 for "English (not North America), Fiction," and the .92 indicating it was published in or after 2000.

SandraArdnas is right about the CK fields for "Canonical" call numbers. I went ahead and added 823.92 as the Canonical DDC/MDS, and the work page now shows that as the MDS number instead of the 813 that was there before.

>2 SandraArdnas: >3 HeathMochaFrost: Thank you both. I should have noted the CK field! I'm fairly sure the entry read "North American" and not "Not North American" when I originally posted, but it's not impossible that I misread it, in which case apologies for time wasting 🙂

>3 HeathMochaFrost: Uh, I'm really slow on the uptake! Thank you for updating the CK Melvil value 😊
