How long for new items to be approved??

[Joëlle Morton]

Hello, I submitted 16 pieces by John Moss on Dec 24 but they still haven’t been approved and I cannot see any way to reach an administrator to ask if there is a problem.

Also, I need to ensure that one item is deleted (the piece title is wrong, and there was no way to correct it) - please advise

Thank you!!

You can see all the new scores that have been submitted on Dec. 24 and following (and before) here:

There are literally hundreds of works to go through and (I believe) only a handful of administrators who can ok them. So you'll need to be very patient.

Understood, but it has NEVER taken me nearly this long in the past…

Agreed. I remember when there were generally 10-20 works posted a day. Now there are well over 100 works posted each day (probably due to the new public domain works). I don't believe any administrator "works" for IMSLP full-time - it's an all-volunteer operation. Keep this in mind and give these people a break.

Joëlle, I'm not a copyright reviewer, but I may be able to help you with one thing you mentioned — the incorrect piece title. Can you please share a link to the page and explain what needs to be changed?

Edit: I see Sallen112 already gave you this info on IMSLP itself: https://imslp.org/index.php?title=Speci ... read=41098

I would keep in mind everyone, there are hundreds if not thousands of files submitted weekly to imslp (probably close to 1000 a week on average). If you guys saw what we see every week, you would be stunned how many files gets uploaded to the site, its not 10 or 20 files Kosboot mentions a day.

And this is why I have to tell you guys how to do your uploading, so people like us can have a life still!
