I could be wrong, but if it's already on the site, how would it be improved? It would have to be resubmitted, I would think, unless the administration could go in and fix the file, but then, that's what validators do...fix the files, if need be, before they're placed in the administrative pool. The administration does so much already that I don't know how practical it would be for them to go in and do all that to a file that already exists. If the one being validated is already of a better quality, it would be easier to just get rid of the one already there and let the new one take its place. Take care.

I know who validated the existing copy, and he did some cleaning up, including adding missing pages. Yes, the Hearing is already on bookshare. However, the copy that I am about to upload is of better quality then the one on bookshare which is the reason that I am approving it and asking that it replace the existing copy. Even before I cleaned up The Hearing a bit, it was already of better quality than the one currently in the collection. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kenneth A.

There is a copy already in the collection. I think it's rated excellent. So the person may want to check it out first before doing work on it. ***** Grace
