[Users] puzzled

[Prof. Tomas Recio]

Pavel (Leischner): well, the furor is not about your (correct)  
comment, but about the fact that someone (me in this case) appears as  
the author of a resource when I have nothing to do with it. I do not  
even know how to delete the Czech sentence appearing there (I know  
about this resource less than you...maybe you can delete it better).

Thanks to Roman, who has recalled me this resource was just a test  
(Pavel Pech and myself were learning about the features of the  
platform, past January, and we choose at random a Czech resource and  
then edited, etc..It seems that this simple fact (changing a few  
words on the title or assigning a topic, etc.)  automatically yields  
authorship for the person who makes the changes).

It is not crucial in this innocent issue, but it could be very  
dangerous if one manipulates a resource containing, say, some very  
inconvenient items of some kind. Something should be done to prevent  
this.


Thanks to you all  for your help.

Best,

Tomas
