Hi, Rudolf! I'm wondering if it shouldn't be Science-Fiction-Stories 23 for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?596385 this pub.].

Hi, Rudolf! My third printing with the same art has a credit to Atelier Heinrich for the cover. What do you think of adding this 'artist'? See also [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/User_talk:Paul-Heinz_Linckens#Alptr.C3.A4ume this discussion item] for some recent changes to the first printing. Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 07:11, 6 November 2017 (EST)

:Hi Christian! Atelier Heinrichs is also listed in the first printing. It looks like a typical collage that characterizes the Atelier Heinrichs and so I'll add it.

Can you check? Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 10:06, 8 November 2017 (EST)
 +
:Bastei Lübbe did it again. In my copy Michael Whelan is indeed mentioned as the artist, but the cover art is actually the same as the one you suggested by Eric Ladd.  I'll fix it. Thanks for the tip. Rudolf [[User:Rudam|Rudam]] 10:43, 9 November 2017 (EST)

 +
 +
:Hello Christian! My copy couldn't have been published after January 2017, because I bought it on the 14th of January 2017 and entered it in the DB on the same day (see my PV).  The first printing was available before christmas 2016 (see entry of the first printing).

== ''Andere Himmel'' publication series ==
 +
 +
Hi Rudolf, regarding your PV'd {{P|300145|Andere Himmel}}: based on the discussion I had with Christian on [[User_talk:Stonecreek#Die_letzte_Siedlerin|his talk page for "Die letzte Siedlerin"]] it looks like the publication series "Bastei Lübbe Science Fiction ''Special''" was not used after approx. 1996. Can you please check your publication if that series is really stated there? If not we should probably change several wrong publication record or coordinate other ways how we want to deal with these series. I have compiled a list of approximate series lifespans on [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/publisher.cgi?5719 Bastei Lübbe's page]. Jens [[User:Hitspacebar|Hitspacebar]] 10:01, 26 November 2017 (EST)
 +
 +
:Please also see [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/User_talk:Stonecreek#Die_letzte_Siedlerin that discussion] for a possible renaming of "Bastei Lübbe Science Fiction" into "Bastei Lübbe Science Fiction & Fantasy". Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 10:56, 26 November 2017 (EST)
 +
 +
::Hi, Rudolf. Maybe you missed this, but if you just meant to issue no objection we could proceed. Maybe we'll wait for one more day. Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 08:32, 3 December 2017 (EST)
 +
 +
:::Sorry, but I'd lost sight of that question. The name of the publication series is not mentioned in the book and only the numbering refers to the publication series. The dropping of the series name seems to have taken place around 1994. Rudolf [[User:Rudam|Rudam]] 10:53, 3 December 2017 (EST)

 +
 +
:Hello Christian! The difference is caused by the fact that the data for the first printing is completely taken from the Deutsche Nationalbilbiothek. The format is described there as "broschiert" and the publication series as "Science Fiction & Fantastica'". Nowhere in my copy of the second printing the former name of the publication series is mentioned and the format of the book is actually harcover. Rudolf [[User:Rudam|Rudam]] 06:14, 3 December 2017 (EST)
 +

::Curious! I have seen the first printing and it is as decribed by DNB. One would think that a publisher would use at leat the same format for a new printing. Thanks for taking the second look. Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 08:06, 3 December 2017 (EST)

== Carl Amery's ''Der Untergang der Stadt Passau'' ==
 +

Hello! A recent discussion on a different title reminded me to check this one: the fiction turned out to be only of novella length and the single publications thus are CHAPBOOKs. Are you okay with the change? Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 11:10, 18 January 2018 (EST)
 +
 +
:Hello Christian! According to the ISFDB standards (word counting) you're right, it would have to be a novella. On the other hand, this book is referred as a novel in all German bibliographies as in our discussion about ''Die Kinder des Saturn''. I accept your request to change the book into a novella, but in fact it contradicts the existing language usage in German biobliographies.

Hi, I got good news and bad news about [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pubseries.cgi?1146 this series]. As You verified at [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?371257 Planet der Mock], the date of publication is calculated. But in Perry Rhodan Heft #156 inside the front cover there is an advertising notice, which says: „Das Perry Rhodan Taschenbuch ist da! ... Ab Anfang September (1964)... erhältlich“. So I'm for shure the publication day was Friday 1964-09-04. Bad news: all following dates are wrong, too. --[[User:Zapp|Zapp]] 09:00, 28 January 2018 (EST)
 +
 +
:Sorry, but I think you are wrong, Zapp! 'Anfang September' is in no way a distinct day of publication, and seems to encompass the first half of the month. Our data was calculated from various notes and ads. (It also seems that the dates of publication at Perrypedia were based on this one fuzzy statement, without looking at further evidence.) Take a look for example at the publications from the fifth cycle ('Meister der Insel') and the note for "Planet der Mock" & the ones for higher no.s of the publication series. Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 23:45, 28 January 2018 (EST)
 +
:The fuzziness may be rooted in the uncertainty of the day of publication: the start may have been planned for 1964-09-04, but there seems to have been an unreliability of a delay (which then has happened). I'll update some of the early publications in the series to make things more clear. Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 06:27, 29 January 2018 (EST)

Hello Rudolf, [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?633129 this publication] is sitting on one of our cleanup reports for a long time. You entered it as a novella in german which is varianted to a novel in english. Perhaps is a change of type (from CHAPBOOK/SHORTSTORY to NOVEL) may be in order. Thanks for having a look.

:Sorry, it seems that I may be responsible for the mess (at least there is a dim recognition of such a fact). I guess that I started on that title but somehow got distracted (by a question, a discussion or whatever). It seems to me that this title also only qualifies as SHORTFICTION, at least the German version does so. Hervé could you guess a rough word count for the original?

Hi Rudolf,
 +
 +
in December we discussed the chaos of the Bastei Lübbe series on [[User_talk:Stonecreek#Die_letzte_Siedlerin|Chrstian's talk page]] and how to resolve it. Christian later came back with some more information derived from second hand book shop visits and we now have a final idea of how we'd like to summarize the series. It can be found in the "(unindent) Final version" paragraph on [[User_talk:Hitspacebar#Als_es_noch_Menschen_gab|my talk page]]. What do you think about this solution?

Hello Rudolf, in a hasty decision I unmerged the Diogenes edition from the Heyne edition. Now I see I would have to unmerge all stories too. When I look in the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1909822 Heyne] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?2510876 Diogenes] editions of ''Die Mars-Chroniken'', I‘m not sure we should handle it as the same text. Here is the first paragraph:
 +
 +
* Diogenes: ]anuar 1999: Raketensommer: Eben noch war es ein richtiger Ohio-Winter: die Türen waren geschlossen, die Fenster verriegelt, die Scheiben blind durch Frost, Eiszapfen rahmten jedes Dach ein, Kinder rutschten auf Skiern die Hänge hinab, Hausfrauen bewegten sich schwerfällig wie große schwarze Bären durch die vereisten Straßen.
 +
 +
* Heyne: Januar 1999: Raketensommer: Eben herrschte noch typischer Ohio-Winter: Die Türen waren fest verschlossen, die Fenster verriegelt, die Scheiben blind vom Frost, Eiszapfen rahmten die Dächer; die Kinder fuhren Ski auf den Hängen der Hügel, und die Hausfrauen stapften schwerfällig wie große schwarze Bären durch die vereisten Straßen.
 +
 +
Can you please take a look at the unrevised translation by Thomas Schlück and give me an advice.
 +
Many Thanks [[User:Henna|Henna]] 15:39, 12 February 2019 (EST)
 +
 +
 +
:Hello Henna! Indeed the Diogenes edition is gently revised (and in my opinion affectionately "bradburyfied"). But it's not a complete new translation. The source is still the translation of Thomas Schlück. What do you think if the publications would be merged back and a mention in the notes is made that the Diogenes editions have been gently revised by Alfons Barth?
 +
 +
::BTW, you stated the the poem by Sara Teasdale is translated by herself. Is that correct? In the Heyne editions the poem has been translated by Wolfgang Jeschke. First line is: ''Leise Regen werden kommen und frischer Duft''. In the MvS edition the fist line is: ''Leise Regen werden kommen und Bodenduft'' Rudolf [[User:Rudam|Rudam]] 08:30, 13 February 2019 (EST)

:::Hello Rudolf, I will merge back the editions and will edit the notes.
 +
:::Do I understand it right, the text of the Heyne editon, with exeption of the poems, is the same as in the MvS edition?
 +
:::The poem by Sara Teasdale is not translated by herself, the text is also revised: ''Sanfte Regen werden kommen und des Bodens Duft''. The Byron poem is different: ''Schweifen werden wir und scherzen'', instead of: ''Laß uns jetzt zur Ruhe kommen''.

== Pabel Utopia Taschenbuch revisited ==
 +
 +
Hi Rudolf, we'd had a thread on this a while back but as I am now getting around to completing the Utopia digests it is resurfacing. I was thinking of renaming the series from "Utopia Zukunft" to "Utopia Taschenbuch", that should make it better distinguishable from the digest series. Do you concur? Cheers, John [[User:JLochhas|JLochhas]] 12:10, 29 July 2019 (EDT)
 +
 +
:Hello John! I have taken a closer look at the naming and it's a good idea to reconsider the name of the publication series. All books are published and numbered under the name ''Pabel-Taschenbuch'' and have an additional label as ''Zukunftsroman'', ''Science Fiction'' and ''Utopia-Zukunft''. All books have an advertisement on page 176. Pabel had diveded there his ''Pabel-Taschenbuch'' series into the sub-series ''Kommissar X-Kriminalromane'', ''Western-Romane'' and ''weitere Pabel-Taschenbücher''. All Utopia-books are added under the last category. There is no special sub-series. I propose that we call the pub series only ''Pabel-Taschenbuch'' or ''Pabel-Taschenbuch-Utopia''. What do you think? Cheers. Rudolf [[User:Rudam|Rudam]] 05:10, 1 August 2019 (EDT)

Hi, Rudolf, a good year 2020 for you! Thanks for beginning to add this series, which was long overdue. However, I'd think it might be better to add this as a (yearly) magazine, since essays and shortfiction are part of all of the titles, but in some of them essays take the most part of the respective publication. Also, it is described as almanac, which most often corresponds to a yearly magazine (at least in general publishing). What do you think? Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 03:27, 3 January 2020 (EST)
 +
 +
:Hello Christian! Happy New Year to you too.  I agree that it is a yearbook series. But I wouldn't consider it as a magazine, but more like an almanac series. According to my research almanac is not considered as a magazine but only as a yearbook. If we use your criterias as a guideline, then we have to consider this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pe.cgi?30725  Science Fiction Almanach] as a magazine too. What do you think? Rudolf [[User:Rudam|Rudam]] 08:56, 3 January 2020 (EST)
 +
 +
:: Hi, I went ahead and added Polaris 6-10 as a magazine (as an experiment). It turned out that at least #s 6 & 10 couldn't be considered anthologies: they are dedicated to Herbert W. Franke & the Strugatskys, respectively. They wouldn't be considered as collections as well, as they have more the character of nonfiction titles on the authors.
 +
:: In the case of the series published with Moewig, at least all of the titles are dominated by shortfiction, and can thus be considered safely as anthologies as well (though it'd also be possible to change them to magazines). Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 12:55, 3 January 2020 (EST)
 +
 +
:::Hi! It's really difficult to determine the publication type of Polaris 6 and 10. That doesn't make things easier! I still think of it as a kind of yearbook.

: It is a variant title to a novel, and so creates a maintenance report. 148 pages is long enough for a novel. It is either this, or making the canonical a novella too.--[[User:Dirk P Broer|Dirk P Broer]] 08:33, 28 February 2020 (EST)

== Alternate name to Mário-Henrique Leiria ==
 +
 +
Hi Rudam, you approved my PubUpdate to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?4590147 this], although it is needed to create an alternate name of Mário-Henrique Leiria, so that the link of the translator (Mário Henrique Leiria) could lead to the author. I don´t know how to do that, and i think i don´t have the permissions necessary to do that. To sum up: it is needed to create an author of Mário Henrique Leiria and make it an alternate name of Mário-Henrique Leiria. Could you do that? Thanks! Best regards--[[User:Wolland|Wolland]] 07:59, 2 March 2020 (EST)
 +
: Hi Wolland! An alternate name can only be created if an author title exists for the parent name and the alternate name. A name that only appears in the notes and has no publication in the database will not have an author title and therefore cannot be used as an alternative name. Your request is therefore not feasible. Regards Rudolf [[User:Rudam|Rudam]] 08:52, 2 March 2020 (EST)

Science Fiction Stories 23

Overlooked! I've just corrected it! Rudam 13:42, 16 October 2017 (EDT)

Atelier Heinrichs as cover artist for Alpträume

Hi, Rudolf! My third printing with the same art has a credit to Atelier Heinrich for the cover. What do you think of adding this 'artist'? See also this discussion item for some recent changes to the first printing. Christian Stonecreek 07:11, 6 November 2017 (EST)

Hi Christian! Atelier Heinrichs is also listed in the first printing. It looks like a typical collage that characterizes the Atelier Heinrichs and so I'll add it.
Thanks for fixing that mistake in the 1963 issue. It seems that worldcat is not to be trusted as the only source. I'm going to add a note that Worlcat is stating a wrong book title. Rudolf Rudam 12:52, 7 November 2017 (EST)

Another Bastei Lübbe foul-up ...

... or so it seems: According to amazon (and my later printing) the cover art for Salmonson's anthology Amazonen! should be corresponding to this one: but that was done by Eric Ladd, not by Michael Whelan as credited. Can you check? Christian Stonecreek 10:06, 8 November 2017 (EST)

Bastei Lübbe did it again. In my copy Michael Whelan is indeed mentioned as the artist, but the cover art is actually the same as the one you suggested by Eric Ladd. I'll fix it. Thanks for the tip. Rudolf Rudam 10:43, 9 November 2017 (EST)

Your printing of Die drei Sonnen

Hi, Rudolf. This may have been published later than January (in 0000-00-00?). I've seen a much higher printing that still has only "Deutsche Erstausgabe 01/2017". What do you think? Christian Stonecreek 13:22, 20 November 2017 (EST)

Hello Christian! My copy couldn't have been published after January 2017, because I bought it on the 14th of January 2017 and entered it in the DB on the same day (see my PV). The first printing was available before christmas 2016 (see entry of the first printing). If later printings should be added you could doubt the date of the month.

Ah, yes, right you are! Thanks for the update. Christian Stonecreek 09:05, 22 November 2017 (EST)

Andere Himmel publication series

Hi Rudolf, regarding your PV'd Andere Himmel: based on the discussion I had with Christian on his talk page for "Die letzte Siedlerin" it looks like the publication series "Bastei Lübbe Science Fiction Special" was not used after approx. 1996. Can you please check your publication if that series is really stated there? If not we should probably change several wrong publication record or coordinate other ways how we want to deal with these series. I have compiled a list of approximate series lifespans on Bastei Lübbe's page. Jens Hitspacebar 10:01, 26 November 2017 (EST)

Please also see that discussion for a possible renaming of "Bastei Lübbe Science Fiction" into "Bastei Lübbe Science Fiction & Fantasy". Christian Stonecreek 10:56, 26 November 2017 (EST)
Hi, Rudolf. Maybe you missed this, but if you just meant to issue no objection we could proceed. Maybe we'll wait for one more day. Christian Stonecreek 08:32, 3 December 2017 (EST)
Sorry, but I'd lost sight of that question. The name of the publication series is not mentioned in the book and only the numbering refers to the publication series. The dropping of the series name seems to have taken place around 1994. Rudolf Rudam 10:53, 3 December 2017 (EST)

Your printing of Solaris ...

... is entered as hc (the first printing was mistakenly entered as such). Also, the publication series is missing, is that correct? Christian Stonecreek 15:46, 30 November 2017 (EST)

Hello Christian! The difference is caused by the fact that the data for the first printing is completely taken from the Deutsche Nationalbilbiothek. The format is described there as "broschiert" and the publication series as "Science Fiction & Fantastica'". Nowhere in my copy of the second printing the former name of the publication series is mentioned and the format of the book is actually harcover. Rudolf Rudam 06:14, 3 December 2017 (EST)
Curious! I have seen the first printing and it is as decribed by DNB. One would think that a publisher would use at leat the same format for a new printing. Thanks for taking the second look. Christian Stonecreek 08:06, 3 December 2017 (EST)
But maybe at least the cover image resembles the one of the first printing? Christian Stonecreek 09:22, 8 December 2017 (EST)
It does! Rudolf Rudam 05:09, 9 December 2017 (EST)

Hello, Rudolf! I have added the cover image to this. It's the one from the 1982 reprint, that I have seen: I'm guessing that it remained unchanged over the years, but it is certainly better if you check on it. Merry Christmas (in retrospect). Christian Stonecreek 07:11, 27 December 2017 (EST)

Hello Christian! Sorry to say,, but it is the wrong cover. Heyne has frequently changed the covers from the 60s and early 70s when they were reprinted again in the 80s. This is the correct cover Wir Rudolf and likewise a belated Merry Christmas! Rudam 07:55, 27 December 2017 (EST)

Carl Amery's Der Untergang der Stadt Passau

Hello! A recent discussion on a different title reminded me to check this one: the fiction turned out to be only of novella length and the single publications thus are CHAPBOOKs. Are you okay with the change? Christian Stonecreek 11:10, 18 January 2018 (EST)

Hello Christian! According to the ISFDB standards (word counting) you're right, it would have to be a novella. On the other hand, this book is referred as a novel in all German bibliographies as in our discussion about Die Kinder des Saturn. I accept your request to change the book into a novella, but in fact it contradicts the existing language usage in German biobliographies. By the way, what do you think of this book Das Gitter? Rudolf Rudam 06:17, 21 January 2018 (EST)
Yes, it'll be the same. In the beginning, I did orient at the types stated with the respective publications, it was just tempting.
Regarding Der Untergang der Stadt Passau': Amery sees it as a shortfiction according to his preface. Christian Stonecreek 09:47, 21 January 2018 (EST)

Perry Rhodan Planetenromane

Hi, I got good news and bad news about this series. As You verified at Planet der Mock, the date of publication is calculated. But in Perry Rhodan Heft #156 inside the front cover there is an advertising notice, which says: „Das Perry Rhodan Taschenbuch ist da! ... Ab Anfang September (1964)... erhältlich“. So I'm for shure the publication day was Friday 1964-09-04. Bad news: all following dates are wrong, too. --Zapp 09:00, 28 January 2018 (EST)

Sorry, but I think you are wrong, Zapp! 'Anfang September' is in no way a distinct day of publication, and seems to encompass the first half of the month. Our data was calculated from various notes and ads. (It also seems that the dates of publication at Perrypedia were based on this one fuzzy statement, without looking at further evidence.) Take a look for example at the publications from the fifth cycle ('Meister der Insel') and the note for "Planet der Mock" & the ones for higher no.s of the publication series. Christian Stonecreek 23:45, 28 January 2018 (EST)
The fuzziness may be rooted in the uncertainty of the day of publication: the start may have been planned for 1964-09-04, but there seems to have been an unreliability of a delay (which then has happened). I'll update some of the early publications in the series to make things more clear. Christian Stonecreek 06:27, 29 January 2018 (EST)

Cover art for Der Robotspion

Hello Rudolf! The cover art for Der Robotspion doesn't seem to be by a known hand (and not by Atelier Heinrichs & Bachmann), since it's the same as for the original edition. Christian Stonecreek 04:28, 30 January 2018 (EST)i

Hello Rudolf, this publication is sitting on one of our cleanup reports for a long time. You entered it as a novella in german which is varianted to a novel in english. Perhaps is a change of type (from CHAPBOOK/SHORTSTORY to NOVEL) may be in order. Thanks for having a look. Hauck 04:47, 23 February 2018 (EST)

Sorry, it seems that I may be responsible for the mess (at least there is a dim recognition of such a fact). I guess that I started on that title but somehow got distracted (by a question, a discussion or whatever). It seems to me that this title also only qualifies as SHORTFICTION, at least the German version does so. Hervé could you guess a rough word count for the original? Christian Stonecreek 08:31, 23 February 2018 (EST)
All things should be in order now: turned out as a NOVEL after all. Christian Stonecreek 00:14, 25 February 2018 (EST)
Hello Herve! Thanks for rembering me to this. It was on my to-do-list. it seems that Christian was the origin of the confusion, but he corrected it now. Thanks! Rudolf Rudam 03:59, 25 February 2018 (EST)

Bastei Lübbe series (again)

Hi Rudolf,

in December we discussed the chaos of the Bastei Lübbe series on Chrstian's talk page and how to resolve it. Christian later came back with some more information derived from second hand book shop visits and we now have a final idea of how we'd like to summarize the series. It can be found in the "(unindent) Final version" paragraph on my talk page. What do you think about this solution? Jens Hitspacebar 15:20, 19 March 2018 (EDT)

Hi Jens! Sorry for the late reply but I have job-related stress. At first sight, it looks okay. I'll take a closer look at it over this weekend and then give my final feedback. Thanks for your patience. Rudolf 14:24, 21 March 2018 (EDT)

Title change for PR NEO

Sorry, but to play safe, I have changed the date back to 1972-00-00. There were many more volumes of the publication series in 1972, so 1972-12-00 seemed unlikely to me. Bastei Lübbe was a publisher whose copyright pages were not always in the best condition, see this example: the statement for 1972-12-00 may actually refer to another book. It also wasn't the second printing but the first printing of the second edition, two things the publisher mixes up quite often. Christian Stonecreek 10:46, 18 December 2018 (EST)

Die Mars-Chroniken

Hello Rudolf, in a hasty decision I unmerged the Diogenes edition from the Heyne edition. Now I see I would have to unmerge all stories too. When I look in the Heyne and Diogenes editions of Die Mars-Chroniken, I‘m not sure we should handle it as the same text. Here is the first paragraph:

  • Diogenes: ]anuar 1999: Raketensommer: Eben noch war es ein richtiger Ohio-Winter: die Türen waren geschlossen, die Fenster verriegelt, die Scheiben blind durch Frost, Eiszapfen rahmten jedes Dach ein, Kinder rutschten auf Skiern die Hänge hinab, Hausfrauen bewegten sich schwerfällig wie große schwarze Bären durch die vereisten Straßen.
  • Heyne: Januar 1999: Raketensommer: Eben herrschte noch typischer Ohio-Winter: Die Türen waren fest verschlossen, die Fenster verriegelt, die Scheiben blind vom Frost, Eiszapfen rahmten die Dächer; die Kinder fuhren Ski auf den Hängen der Hügel, und die Hausfrauen stapften schwerfällig wie große schwarze Bären durch die vereisten Straßen.

Can you please take a look at the unrevised translation by Thomas Schlück and give me an advice. Many Thanks Henna 15:39, 12 February 2019 (EST)


Hello Henna! Indeed the Diogenes edition is gently revised (and in my opinion affectionately "bradburyfied"). But it's not a complete new translation. The source is still the translation of Thomas Schlück. What do you think if the publications would be merged back and a mention in the notes is made that the Diogenes editions have been gently revised by Alfons Barth?
BTW, you stated the the poem by Sara Teasdale is translated by herself. Is that correct? In the Heyne editions the poem has been translated by Wolfgang Jeschke. First line is: Leise Regen werden kommen und frischer Duft. In the MvS edition the fist line is: Leise Regen werden kommen und Bodenduft Rudolf Rudam 08:30, 13 February 2019 (EST)
Hello Rudolf, I will merge back the editions and will edit the notes.
Do I understand it right, the text of the Heyne editon, with exeption of the poems, is the same as in the MvS edition?
The poem by Sara Teasdale is not translated by herself, the text is also revised: Sanfte Regen werden kommen und des Bodens Duft. The Byron poem is different: Schweifen werden wir und scherzen, instead of: Laß uns jetzt zur Ruhe kommen.
Thank you for your research Henna 06:56, 14 February 2019 (EST)
Hello Henna! That's correct. The translation of the Heyne edition is identical with the MvS edition, except the two poems. In the MvS edition is the first line of Lord Byrons poem: Nicht länger streifen wir einher. Rudolf Rudam 11:47, 14 February 2019 (EST)
Hello Rudolf, now everything is done. Please take a look. Thanks again Henna 15:19, 14 February 2019 (EST)

Pabel Utopia Taschenbuch revisited

Hi Rudolf, we'd had a thread on this a while back but as I am now getting around to completing the Utopia digests it is resurfacing. I was thinking of renaming the series from "Utopia Zukunft" to "Utopia Taschenbuch", that should make it better distinguishable from the digest series. Do you concur? Cheers, John JLochhas 12:10, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

Hello John! I have taken a closer look at the naming and it's a good idea to reconsider the name of the publication series. All books are published and numbered under the name Pabel-Taschenbuch and have an additional label as Zukunftsroman, Science Fiction and Utopia-Zukunft. All books have an advertisement on page 176. Pabel had diveded there his Pabel-Taschenbuch series into the sub-series Kommissar X-Kriminalromane, Western-Romane and weitere Pabel-Taschenbücher. All Utopia-books are added under the last category. There is no special sub-series. I propose that we call the pub series only Pabel-Taschenbuch or Pabel-Taschenbuch-Utopia. What do you think? Cheers. Rudolf Rudam 05:10, 1 August 2019 (EDT)
Hi Rudolf, yes, let's go with Pabel-Taschenbuch, that's the way that the pub. series is stated everywhere and it looks like the cleanest option to me. I'll capture the changes... Cheers, John. JLochhas 11:56, 1 August 2019 (EDT)

Polaris

Hi, Rudolf, a good year 2020 for you! Thanks for beginning to add this series, which was long overdue. However, I'd think it might be better to add this as a (yearly) magazine, since essays and shortfiction are part of all of the titles, but in some of them essays take the most part of the respective publication. Also, it is described as almanac, which most often corresponds to a yearly magazine (at least in general publishing). What do you think? Christian Stonecreek 03:27, 3 January 2020 (EST)

Hello Christian! Happy New Year to you too. I agree that it is a yearbook series. But I wouldn't consider it as a magazine, but more like an almanac series. According to my research almanac is not considered as a magazine but only as a yearbook. If we use your criterias as a guideline, then we have to consider this Science Fiction Almanach as a magazine too. What do you think? Rudolf Rudam 08:56, 3 January 2020 (EST)
Hi, I went ahead and added Polaris 6-10 as a magazine (as an experiment). It turned out that at least #s 6 & 10 couldn't be considered anthologies: they are dedicated to Herbert W. Franke & the Strugatskys, respectively. They wouldn't be considered as collections as well, as they have more the character of nonfiction titles on the authors.
In the case of the series published with Moewig, at least all of the titles are dominated by shortfiction, and can thus be considered safely as anthologies as well (though it'd also be possible to change them to magazines). Christian Stonecreek 12:55, 3 January 2020 (EST)
Hi! It's really difficult to determine the publication type of Polaris 6 and 10. That doesn't make things easier! I still think of it as a kind of yearbook. But due to the definition chaos with individual volumes, we can make it a magazine. Let start! Rudolf Rudam 08:01, 4 January 2020 (EST)
Of those numbers that I have, only Polaris 9 seems to be majored undoubtable by shortfiction. For the others, essays and fiction seem to be more or less on a par. I've seen that you transformed #s 4 & 5. Thanks for that. I'll see if I can dig out something about the months of publication, and will also upload the cover images.

Changing a PV book

Hello Dirk! I'm confused why you changed my primary verfied book Das Weltraum-Abenteuer from chapbook into novel without asking me first. I've estimated the words of the book and they are approximal 35.000 words. Rudolf Rudam 07:57, 28 February 2020 (EST)

It is a variant title to a novel, and so creates a maintenance report. 148 pages is long enough for a novel. It is either this, or making the canonical a novella too.--Dirk P Broer 08:33, 28 February 2020 (EST)

Alternate name to Mário-Henrique Leiria

Hi Rudam, you approved my PubUpdate to this, although it is needed to create an alternate name of Mário-Henrique Leiria, so that the link of the translator (Mário Henrique Leiria) could lead to the author. I don´t know how to do that, and i think i don´t have the permissions necessary to do that. To sum up: it is needed to create an author of Mário Henrique Leiria and make it an alternate name of Mário-Henrique Leiria. Could you do that? Thanks! Best regards--Wolland 07:59, 2 March 2020 (EST)

Hi Wolland! An alternate name can only be created if an author title exists for the parent name and the alternate name. A name that only appears in the notes and has no publication in the database will not have an author title and therefore cannot be used as an alternative name. Your request is therefore not feasible. Regards Rudolf Rudam 08:52, 2 March 2020 (EST)
Ok, I see. Could it be a solution to this to write in the notes (using the same template) like this:Translated by Mário-Henrique Leiria as Mário Henrique Leiria? --Wolland 09:13, 2 March 2020 (EST)
Of course! Rudolf Rudam 09:18, 2 March 2020 (EST)

Hans-Günter Hauptmann

Two of Your pv pubs here and here have the cover artist "Hans-Günter Hauptmann [as by Mike Hauptmann]". But Mike is the son of Hans-Günther, see perrypedia. Mike does his father's business, but not known of artworks. Both covers are signed 'Hans', so I suppose an error in alternate name. They are two different persons. --Zapp 11:27, 13 July 2020 (EDT)

Hello Zapp! Thanks for your interesting and thrilling informations. I will include it in the notes. Rudolf Rudam 04:26, 15 July 2020 (EDT)

Hello Rudolf, I think the ISBN is wrong. DTV have publisher number 423 instead of 485. Please take look. Thanks Henna 13:08, 11 November 2020 (EST)

Hello Henna, you're right! There are two ISBN numbers on the copyright page. The first ISBN is for the Nymphenburger hardcover edition (publisher number 485). The second ISBN is at the very end of the copyright page and I missed it completely. Thanks a lot for bringing this to my attention! Rudolf Rudam 05:23, 19 November 2020 (EST)

Der Hund in Die Hunde der Hölle

I added a collection by Ivan Turgenev which included several prose poems which I entered as POEMs. One of the prose poems is a translation of Собака. I notices that we also had this title as a short story and I've converted the variant titles that were unverified or where the verifiers are inactive. There is one remaining translation in your verified Die Hunde der Hölle. If you agree, you can convert your story to a poem and make it a variant of the title above. The parent story title could then be deleted. Let me know if you disagree or have any questions. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 00:18, 19 December 2020 (EST)
