Let me understand this better, because I cannot remember having discussed it before... Is it OK for the author to request to be added to the credits even when satisfying the request would cause the authorship credits to become inaccurate? Can I request to be added to the authorship credits of a work I took really really little part in? Can I do the same for a work I never contributed to in any manner? > it seems strange to say that it's > incompatible for them to request to be /removed /from the authorship > credits.
