Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.
Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

"Shakedown" -> "The Dinner Guest"
Hi, and welcome. I have on hold your proposed change (looks like maybe you submitted it twice) that would change Shakedown to "The Dinner Guest". Can you tell me what you are trying to do? If I look at Canadian Tales of the Fantastic, where this title appears, I see there is also a The Dinner Guest, although by Caroline Wong, so I don't think changing this title to also be "The Dinner Guest" would be correct. If you let me know what you're trying to do, I'll be happy to help you out. You can reply here by editing this section. Indent your response by adding a colon (":") at the front of the line. Thanks, and thank you for contributing. --MartyD 10:27, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- I contacted the primary verifier, and he concluded that several of the stories were mis-attributed in the record we had in the database, and he fixed them up. I think the author attributions should be correct now. So I decided to reject these proposed changes. The offer to help with what you were trying to do still stands. Just let me know, and I'm happy to help. Thanks, --MartyD 11:15, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
