Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Hi Team
I'm part of the marketing team for Srijan Technologies.
One of our ex-employees had uploaded a case study for us: https://www.drupal.org/node/629664
As the leads would now be going to the author instead of Srijan, we would want to shift the author to Rahul Dewan, Founder and CEO, Srijan.
Would you please help us with this?
Regards, Rajat

sidharth_k CreditAttribution: sidharth_k commentedI just noticed this and am very surprised at the transfer of authorship. (Interestingly this ticket took ~2 years to resolve but I am surprised it was even acted upon!!)
I am the author of the case study https://www.drupal.org/node/629664 . This case study was written by me completely from scratch based on my experience with the open the magazine project. At that time, I was consulting with Srijan Technologies.
I just noticed that the authorship of this case study on Drupal.org has been transferred away from me after 10 years !! When I click on https://www.drupal.org/node/629664 it says the article is "by rahuldewan" which is not correct.
No consent was sought for this transfer. I consider this case study as one of my important contributions to Drupal.
This does not seem to fit the open source nature of Drupal. There are many people contributing code/articles/tickets etc. on behalf of companies as employees/consultants and the credit for that is not taken away from them.
I am happy to write down at the end of the article or beginning that all queries should be directed to Srijan Technologies to Rahul Dewan as necessary. Srijan Technologies is a good company and I continue to wish them all the best in all their endeavours.
But the change of the by-line of the article should not have been done without my consent!
Kindly change the authorship of the article back to me please to reflect the original historical record.

hestenetJust noting here that I am reviewing ownership vs. authorship issue for this on behalf of the Drupal Association in this issue: #3170979: Authorship of case study transferred without consent of original author
