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.

Dark Cheer: Cryptids Emerging

Hi, and welcome! I accepted your submission for Dark Cheer: Cryptids Emerging. I have one question, and I made some minor changes you should be aware of and review.

My question: I see you provided page numbers. Do you have the book? If so, what is the page number for "Emerge..."? I added that to the contents because I saw it in the Amazon sample, but that is for an unpaginated ebook, so I couldn't tell what the numbering before p.1 is.

Things I tweaked (all minor):

  • Changed Improbable Press to imprint of Clan Destine Press.
  • Added exact publication date from info on Amazon.com
  • Added $ to price (we require currency designations in all prices)
  • Switched cover URL to one from Amazon (we don't have linking permission to improbablepress.com but do have that permission for amazon.com)
  • Regularized title capitalization and punctuation of initials in author names.
  • Added Merrick's introduction "Emerge..."

And I added notes about some of those things and the explanation of the dual cover art credit. As I said, please review. Overall it looked great, and the fix-ups were quite minor. Thanks, and thank you for contributing! --MartyD (talk) 07:12, 22 April 2024 (EDT)

I approved this submission changing the content page number to 'ix'. You need to account for the Roman numeral sequence in the 'Pages" field. From the help section here.
  • "When a book has a section with Roman numeral page numbers for introductory material, followed by Arabic numerals for the main text of the book, enter both sets of numbers. For example, a book with a page count field of "viii+320" has "viii" as the highest numbered page with a Roman numeral. (Note that there are no spaces in the page count.) Pages without numbers that fall between the two types of page numbering can be ignored.
