How long for new items to be approved??

Post by 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:
https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:IMSLPRec ... ions/0/700

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
