Stop deleting books from series and publishers.

There is a user on here who is oddly adding series that are already on here and deleting them from the original series. For example Hogwarts Liberty is now on here twice and some Disney movie series. I messaged the member, they haven't replied. I'm not sure if this is a mistake or they want points. I don't like calling people out, but it's annoying seeing series and punishing series deleted from books for no reason.

>1 morgie87: Contact the staff for anything that's widespread CK vandalism. Apart from having authority to make it stop, they can often reverse changes. There is a link Contact at the bottom of any page

>2 SandraArdnas: Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep that in mind next time that happens. I'm aware any member can edit stuff or delete it, but sometimes it just doesn't make sense to me. I'm wondering if they think it's only for their edition not understanding the series and publication series are for everyone. I found out someone deleted all the series off the Peter Pan book. I readded Peter Pan to the Peter Pan book series, but the publication series were all deleted. I'd readded them, but not sure which one they were on.

>3 morgie87: Staff can indeed revert changes to series with an automated process. If you see this happening again, you can send a message to Abigail https://www.librarything.com/profile/AbigailAdams26.
