Hi, Kraang. I have a (slightly ridiculous) question about [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?103216| David Boring]. Back in 2009, you added the note about it being reviewed in an SF publication. Do you know which? It doesn't have any reviews listed right now. I know it's been years, but I'm curious. Thanks! —[[User:Rosab618|Rosab618]] ([[User talk:Rosab618|talk]]) 03:13, 20 January 2023 (EST)<br />
:No idea now. I did a lot of cleanup of non-genre & graphic novels at the time. Possibly a link to the review has been deleted, being of a graphic novel. Now all that is left is the novel & my note.

The novel was published in Brazil, but they divided it into four parts, only volume 1 came out, how do I register?[[User:Hyju|Hyju]] ([[User talk:Hyju|talk]]) 14:16, 29 January 2023 (EST)<br />
:Add the publication in as a Chapbook and in the Regular Title section add (Part 1 of 4) or (Vol 1) after title, then make title type a serial. Are the other three parts going to be published? If not then a note would help explain it's intension to be a novel but has not been completed. Hope this helps, I'll lookout for your submission.[[User:Kraang|Kraang]] ([[User talk:Kraang|talk]]) 23:33, 29 January 2023 (EST)<br />
::the publisher's page says it would be published in two volumes, the cover artist's Facebook page says in four parts, however, only the first volume was published, nothing was said if there will be continuation. I think the illustrator is right, as the original book has 572 pages and this one has 176. In the original book, it seems to already be divided into 4 parts. [[User:Hyju|Hyju]] ([[User talk:Hyju|talk]]) 12:21, 30 January 2023 (EST)<br />
<br />
::: Looking at the [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?932583 original (2017) Spanish text], I see the following note:<br />
:::* Robert E. Howard's [novelette] "La Reina de la Costa Negra", which is included in its entirety in this novel, was originally published in ''Weird Tales'' in May 1934 as [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?68499 "The Queen of the Black Coast."] The Spanish translation is the work of Rodolfo Martínez [...]<br />
::: This explains why the title page and the cover credit both Howard and Martínez. I suggest that we add Howard's name to the Spanish title as well as to the proposed Portuguese title.<br />
::: I can also confirm that the Spanish original consists of 4 "cuarta"s ("quarters"), so it seems likely that a 176-page book would contain the first "quarter" as opposed to the first half of the original, which is 572 pages long. Furthermore, the Spanish original is 168K words long. The four "quarters" are novella length since they are under the 40K limit:<br />
:::* First "quarter" -- 19%<br />
:::* Second "quarter" -- 23%<br />
:::* Third "quarter" -- 23%<br />
:::* Fourth "quarter" -- 21%<br />
:::* Appendices, including Martínez's translation of Howard's fictionalized essay [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?121948 "The Hyborian Age"] -- 12%<br />
::: This means that Kraang's guess above is correct and they are, in ISFDB terms, SERIALs as opposed to "split novels". [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] ([[User talk:Ahasuerus|talk]]) 13:33, 30 January 2023 (EST)<br />

== Theodora Goss / The Thorn and the Blossom - Deletion Problem ==<br />
<br />
You have processed all my submissions for this title to date but I'm now stuck on a step. As you know, I'm converting this from a Chapbook with a Novella to a Collection with two Novelettes. I now want to delete the [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1347059 Novella record] as it has no associated pubs but I can't. When I try to "Delete This Title", I get the message "Error: 1 awards still refer to this title". There is no option to remove the Award or the Reviews so how do I go about deleting the Novella? Incidentally, I have taken a note of the Award and 5 Reviews and will import them to the container title for the Collection once it has been created. Thanks in advance for your help. [[User:Teallach|Teallach]] ([[User talk:Teallach|talk]]) 07:54, 12 February 2023 (EST)<br />
<br />
: Yes, but it seems it is the piece of shortfiction that got the award, and it should have been published somewhere (or was it handed to one of the two new titles?). Or it may be possible to link the award to the collection instead. Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] ([[User talk:Stonecreek|talk]]) 09:02, 12 February 2023 (EST)<br />
:I'll have a look at this tonight. Thanks![[User:Kraang|Kraang]] ([[User talk:Kraang|talk]]) 11:33, 12 February 2023 (EST)<br />

:::All looks good now, thanks. One last piece of tidying up: deletion of the old, incorrectly titled Interiorart record. I have submitted an edit to do this. I see where you're coming from regarding an explanation of the Locus award as "Best Novelette" but I have no idea why Locus considered it to be a Novelette. The approx word counts are: Brendan's Story - 10,500 and Evelyn's Story - 10,900. So even if you consider the whole work to be a single piece of fiction (which it isn't), the total word count is 21,400 hence Novella.

== Incorrect info added to database ==<br />
<br />
Hello Kraang, I am one of the editors of the Brazilian magazine Histórias Extraordinárias. We have published six issues so far. The latest one was published in April 2023 and it has been added recently to the database (submission #5652271).<br />
<br />
I noticed that two more records appeared, probably submitted by someone else but approved by you. They somehow duplicate the info (with much less detail), but incorrectly state that Histórias Extraordinárias is an ANTHOLOGY, which it is not. It is a magazine that publishes new material.<br />
<br />
The incorrect publication records are: #950021 and #950023.<br />
We just launched all six issues in digital versions (PDF) so I believe that the submitter wants to include them. I agree that they should appear as different format, but we should at least just duplicate the existing information (which is "official" and more comprehensive) changing only the format. Can you please help us in this regard once we sort out these two "rogue" records? :)<br />
<br />
The six magazine issues so far are the following:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+ Histórias Extraordinárias Magazine<br />
|-<br />
! Issue number !! detail !! Pub record !! Incorrect<br />
|-<br />
| Issue 1|| December 2020|| #913217|| #950021<br />
|-<br />
| Issue 2 || April 2021|| #914003|| #950023<br />
|-<br />
| Issue 3 || August 2021|| #914004||<br />
|-<br />

|-<br />
| Issue 6 || April 2023|| #950024||<br />
<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
As a side note, the latest issue is not appearing in the publication series #67858. I spotted a difference in how the title is formatted in the Title Record and submitted a change request in order to correct it (submission #5659612). I ask you to please review and apply the suitable correction. Thanks!<br />

== Not a Variant ==<br />
<br />
Hello Kraang, I recently submitted two title update requests because I noticed a typo in the title of a short sory and its accompaining interiorart.<br />
<br />
Issue 1 of "Histórias Extraordinárias" magazine ([https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?913217 December 2020]) contains a short story called "Hypnos e Morfeu". However, when inserting the data months ago, I wrote "Morfeu'''s'''" (with an "s") instead of "Morfeu". The story also has an interiorart which received the same name (wrong, with the 's').<br />
<br />
I noticed the error last week and submitted two requests:<br />
<br />
1) Submission [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?5661908 #5661908] to change the short story title (Title Record [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?3076119 #3076119])<br />
<br />
2) Submission [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?5661909 #5661909] to change the interiorart title (Title Record [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?3076118 #3076118])<br />
<br />
The titles are shared by the bedsheet and ebook publications (ebook is a clone of the bedsheet).<br />
<br />
However, while for the interiorart it seems all ok, the short story lists the correct name as a [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?3082550 variant of the old name], which it is not. The old title should be deleted and the corrected title should be kept. We should just correct the typo, not create a variant.<br />
<br />
It currently appears as --> Variant Title of: Hypnos e Morfeus (by Marcus Garrett) [may list more publications, awards, reviews, votes and covers]<br />
<br />
Can you please help with this?<br />
<br />
I believe that deleting [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?3082550 this record] would be enough to break this "variant link" but I am not sure, so I am asking for your help.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

--[[User:Pugno|Pugno]] ([[User talk:Pugno|talk]]) 19:41, 13 May 2023 (EDT)<br />

Hi! It would also be appreciated if you could keep an eye on text lengths.

<br />
Hello Kraang, <br />
<br />
Can you clarify the approved date [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?5678636 here]? We date magazines based on their cover date and if another means is used, it needs to be in the notes. That applies to magazines where Amazon may have an exact date as well... I do not see a note explaining the dating. Thanks! [[User:Anniemod|Annie]] ([[User talk:Anniemod|talk]]) 14:18, 14 July 2023 (EDT)<br />
:Deal so little with magazines I forget about all the different rules, only approved the edit to get the stories. Please change the date to what it should be, I'll try to be more careful with magazine submissions in the future or I might just avoid magazine submissions altogether no matter how correct it looks. THanks![[User:Kraang|Kraang]] ([[User talk:Kraang|talk]]) 16:17, 14 July 2023 (EDT)<br />

== Eça de Queiroz ==<br />
<br />
There are differences, the translation reduces the 20 chapters to 17, I've read that it changes some things, but I would have to compare, Le caverne dei diamanti is described as a version of the story and not just a translation.<br />
[https://pt.wikisource.org/wiki/As_minas_do_rei_Salom%C3%A3o Eça de Queiroz's version on Wikisource].[[User:Hyju|Hyju]] ([[User talk:Hyju|talk]]) 08:36, 19 November 2023 (EST)<br />
<br />
: Please be careful when adding additional authors: a reducement of chapters points toward an abridgement (which is no new version). These do occur quite frequently within translations. <br />
: For "King Solomon's Mines" [https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Minas_de_Salom%C3%A3o Portuguese Wikipedia] only writes of a translation, and notes no differences; as does the cover of [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?979572 this publication]. Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] ([[User talk:Stonecreek|talk]]) 10:32, 19 November 2023 (EST)<br />
:: I found a [http://classicoslitinf-juvportuguesa.blogspot.com/2014/12/as-minas-de-salomao-eca-de-queirosking.html Portuguese blog] that says that Allan (called Alão Quartermar) in Eça's version, mentions knowing about Ophir, something that is not in the original text, I read and compared the two chapters on Wikisource:<br />
[https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/King_Solomon%27s_Mines/Chapter_II Haggard]: <br />
''"'Ay,' said Evans, 'but I will spin you a queerer yarn than that;' and he went on to tell me how he had found in the far interior a ruined city, which he believed to be the Ophir of the Bible, and, by the way, other more learned men have said the same long since poor Evans' time. I was, I remember, listening open-eared to all these wonders, for I was young at the time, and this story of an ancient civilisation and of the treasures which those old Jewish or Phœnician adventurers used to extract from a country long since lapsed into the darkest barbarism took a great hold upon my imagination, when suddenly he said to me, 'Lad, did you ever hear of the Suliman Mountains up to the north-west of the Mashukulumbwe country?' I told him I never had. 'Ah, well,' he said, 'that is where Solomon really had his mines, his diamond mines, I mean.' ''<br />
<br />
[https://pt.wikisource.org/wiki/As_minas_do_rei_Salom%C3%A3o/II Queiroz]:<br />
''And he then told me that in the interior, very inland, he had discovered an ancient city, completely in ruins, which he was sure was Ophir, the famous Ophir of the Bible. I remember well the impression and amazement with which I heard the story of this Phoenician city lost in the African wilderness, with its remains of palaces, pools, temples, collapsed columns!... But then Evans remained silent, wondering. Suddenly he says:<br />
<br />
— Have you ever heard of the Suliman mountains, some large mountains that lie beyond the territory of Machuculumbe, to the northwest?<br />
<br />
— No, I never heard.<br />
<br />
— Well, my boy, that's where Solomon truly had his mines, his diamond mines!ersion<br />
<br />
— How do you know?<br />
<br />
— How do you know!? It's funny! It is perfectly known. What is Suliman if not a corruption of Solomon? The name of the mountains, in fact, has always been Solomon's mountains. Furthermore, a witch from the district of Manica, an old woman over a hundred years old, told me everything... That is, she told me that beyond the mountains there live a people who are of the Zulu race, and speak a dialect Zulu; but as strength and corpulence, and courage, it is worth more than the Zulus. For among these people there are seers, great sorcerers, who from generation to generation have brought the secret of a prodigious mine, which belonged to a very ancient white king, and which is still full of white stones that shine... Luckily that there is no doubt.<br />
<br />
For me there was all doubt. The ruins of Ophir interested me, as well as our belief and the Bible; but at the mines of shining white stones, known in secret by Zulu sorcerers, I would certainly have laughed had it not been for the respect due to such a worthy hunter as Evans. At dawn Evans left, ending up sadly on the butts of a buffalo. And I no longer thought about Solomon, nor about his diamond mines.'' ~<br />

:: Still, adding a bit of information (or bettering an original text) in a translation does not add up to a completely new version. Other translators would perhaps add something like that in a footnote. There are numerous examples of translators enhancing an original version but don't getting any credit (except in note). And that's the crucial point here: according to the help pages, the author's name ''should be entered exactly as it actually appeared in the publication'' (that is, the title page of a novel publication).

::the publisher's page says it would be published in two volumes, the cover artist's Facebook page says in four parts, however, only the first volume was published, nothing was said if there will be continuation. I think the illustrator is right, as the original book has 572 pages and this one has 176. In the original book, it seems to already be divided into 4 parts. [[User:Hyju|Hyju]] ([[User talk:Hyju|talk]]) 12:21, 30 January 2023 (EST)<br />
<br />
::: Looking at the [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?932583 original (2017) Spanish text], I see the following note:<br />
:::* Robert E. Howard's [novelette] "La Reina de la Costa Negra", which is included in its entirety in this novel, was originally published in ''Weird Tales'' in May 1934 as [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?68499 "The Queen of the Black Coast."] The Spanish translation is the work of Rodolfo Martínez [...]<br />
::: This explains why the title page and the cover credit both Howard and Martínez. I suggest that we add Howard's name to the Spanish title as well as to the proposed Portuguese title.<br />
::: I can also confirm that the Spanish original consists of 4 "cuarta"s ("quarters"), so it seems likely that a 176-page book would contain the first "quarter" as opposed to the first half of the original, which is 572 pages long. Furthermore, the Spanish original is 168K words long. The four "quarters" are novella length since they are under the 40K limit:<br />
:::* First "quarter" -- 19%<br />
:::* Second "quarter" -- 23%<br />
:::* Third "quarter" -- 23%<br />
:::* Fourth "quarter" -- 21%<br />
:::* Appendices, including Martínez's translation of Howard's fictionalized essay [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?121948 "The Hyborian Age"] -- 12%<br />
::: This means that Kraang's guess above is correct and they are, in ISFDB terms, SERIALs as opposed to "split novels". [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] ([[User talk:Ahasuerus|talk]]) 13:33, 30 January 2023 (EST)<br />

== Theodora Goss / The Thorn and the Blossom - Deletion Problem ==<br />
<br />
You have processed all my submissions for this title to date but I'm now stuck on a step. As you know, I'm converting this from a Chapbook with a Novella to a Collection with two Novelettes. I now want to delete the [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1347059 Novella record] as it has no associated pubs but I can't. When I try to "Delete This Title", I get the message "Error: 1 awards still refer to this title". There is no option to remove the Award or the Reviews so how do I go about deleting the Novella? Incidentally, I have taken a note of the Award and 5 Reviews and will import them to the container title for the Collection once it has been created. Thanks in advance for your help. [[User:Teallach|Teallach]] ([[User talk:Teallach|talk]]) 07:54, 12 February 2023 (EST)<br />
<br />
: Yes, but it seems it is the piece of shortfiction that got the award, and it should have been published somewhere (or was it handed to one of the two new titles?).

:::All looks good now, thanks. One last piece of tidying up: deletion of the old, incorrectly titled Interiorart record. I have submitted an edit to do this. I see where you're coming from regarding an explanation of the Locus award as "Best Novelette" but I have no idea why Locus considered it to be a Novelette. The approx word counts are: Brendan's Story - 10,500 and Evelyn's Story - 10,900. So even if you consider the whole work to be a single piece of fiction (which it isn't), the total word count is 21,400 hence Novella.

== Incorrect info added to database ==<br />
<br />
Hello Kraang, I am one of the editors of the Brazilian magazine Histórias Extraordinárias. We have published six issues so far. The latest one was published in April 2023 and it has been added recently to the database (submission #5652271).<br />
<br />
I noticed that two more records appeared, probably submitted by someone else but approved by you. They somehow duplicate the info (with much less detail), but incorrectly state that Histórias Extraordinárias is an ANTHOLOGY, which it is not. It is a magazine that publishes new material.<br />
<br />
The incorrect publication records are: #950021 and #950023.<br />
We just launched all six issues in digital versions (PDF) so I believe that the submitter wants to include them. I agree that they should appear as different format, but we should at least just duplicate the existing information (which is "official" and more comprehensive) changing only the format. Can you please help us in this regard once we sort out these two "rogue" records? :)<br />
<br />
The six magazine issues so far are the following:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+ Histórias Extraordinárias Magazine<br />
|-<br />
! Issue number !! detail !! Pub record !! Incorrect<br />
|-<br />
| Issue 1|| December 2020|| #913217|| #950021<br />
|-<br />
| Issue 2 || April 2021|| #914003|| #950023<br />
|-<br />
| Issue 3 || August 2021|| #914004||<br />
|-<br />
| Issue 4 || December 2021|| #914005||<br />
|-<br />

|-<br />
| Issue 6 || April 2023|| #950024||<br />
<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
As a side note, the latest issue is not appearing in the publication series #67858. I spotted a difference in how the title is formatted in the Title Record and submitted a change request in order to correct it (submission #5659612). I ask you to please review and apply the suitable correction. Thanks!<br />

== Not a Variant ==<br />
<br />
Hello Kraang, I recently submitted two title update requests because I noticed a typo in the title of a short sory and its accompaining interiorart.<br />
<br />
Issue 1 of "Histórias Extraordinárias" magazine ([https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?913217 December 2020]) contains a short story called "Hypnos e Morfeu". However, when inserting the data months ago, I wrote "Morfeu'''s'''" (with an "s") instead of "Morfeu". The story also has an interiorart which received the same name (wrong, with the 's').<br />
<br />
I noticed the error last week and submitted two requests:<br />
<br />
1) Submission [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?5661908 #5661908] to change the short story title (Title Record [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?3076119 #3076119])<br />
<br />
2) Submission [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?5661909 #5661909] to change the interiorart title (Title Record [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?3076118 #3076118])<br />
<br />
The titles are shared by the bedsheet and ebook publications (ebook is a clone of the bedsheet).<br />
<br />
However, while for the interiorart it seems all ok, the short story lists the correct name as a [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?3082550 variant of the old name], which it is not. The old title should be deleted and the corrected title should be kept. We should just correct the typo, not create a variant.<br />
<br />
It currently appears as --> Variant Title of: Hypnos e Morfeus (by Marcus Garrett) [may list more publications, awards, reviews, votes and covers]<br />
<br />
Can you please help with this?<br />
<br />
I believe that deleting [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?3082550 this record] would be enough to break this "variant link" but I am not sure, so I am asking for your help.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Hi,<br />
[https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?961539 this submission] of mine was wrong. Don't know what happened there, may have mistakenly pressed enter or a browser hickup. Was intended for the 3rd printing of the Piper edition, which i've entered separately. As the faulty one was approved too, i have corrected it to an entry for the first printing [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?5722245]. Please take a look.

You recently moderated [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?41701 this] publication but did not take account of the note I made in reference to the cover art credit which is still wrong - shows Kevin Eugene Johnson not Steve Crisp. I can't edit the credit to the correct one since it's linked to the 'other' cover (the one by Johnson) that is decidedly not the same as the Steven Crisp cover. Take note that Steven Crisp and Steve Crisp are one and the same person.

There are differences, the translation reduces the 20 chapters to 17, I've read that it changes some things, but I would have to compare, Le caverne dei diamanti is described as a version of the story and not just a translation.<br />

<br />
: Please be careful when adding additional authors: a reducement of chapters points toward an abridgement (which is no new version). These do occur quite frequently within translations. <br />
: For "King Solomon's Mines" [https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Minas_de_Salom%C3%A3o Portuguese Wikipedia] only writes of a translation, and notes no differences; as does the cover of [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?979572 this publication].

:: I found a [http://classicoslitinf-juvportuguesa.blogspot.com/2014/12/as-minas-de-salomao-eca-de-queirosking.html Portuguese blog] that says that Allan (called Alão Quartermar) in Eça's version, mentions knowing about Ophir, something that is not in the original text, I read and compared the two chapters on Wikisource:<br />
[https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/King_Solomon%27s_Mines/Chapter_II Haggard]: <br />
''"'Ay,' said Evans, 'but I will spin you a queerer yarn than that;' and he went on to tell me how he had found in the far interior a ruined city, which he believed to be the Ophir of the Bible, and, by the way, other more learned men have said the same long since poor Evans' time. I was, I remember, listening open-eared to all these wonders, for I was young at the time, and this story of an ancient civilisation and of the treasures which those old Jewish or Phœnician adventurers used to extract from a country long since lapsed into the darkest barbarism took a great hold upon my imagination, when suddenly he said to me, 'Lad, did you ever hear of the Suliman Mountains up to the north-west of the Mashukulumbwe country?' I told him I never had. 'Ah, well,' he said, 'that is where Solomon really had his mines, his diamond mines, I mean.' ''<br />
<br />
[https://pt.wikisource.org/wiki/As_minas_do_rei_Salom%C3%A3o/II Queiroz]:<br />
''And he then told me that in the interior, very inland, he had discovered an ancient city, completely in ruins, which he was sure was Ophir, the famous Ophir of the Bible. I remember well the impression and amazement with which I heard the story of this Phoenician city lost in the African wilderness, with its remains of palaces, pools, temples, collapsed columns!... But then Evans remained silent, wondering. Suddenly he says:<br />
<br />
— Have you ever heard of the Suliman mountains, some large mountains that lie beyond the territory of Machuculumbe, to the northwest?<br />
<br />
— No, I never heard.<br />
<br />
— Well, my boy, that's where Solomon truly had his mines, his diamond mines!ersion<br />
<br />
— How do you know?<br />
<br />
— How do you know!? It's funny! It is perfectly known. What is Suliman if not a corruption of Solomon? The name of the mountains, in fact, has always been Solomon's mountains. Furthermore, a witch from the district of Manica, an old woman over a hundred years old, told me everything... That is, she told me that beyond the mountains there live a people who are of the Zulu race, and speak a dialect Zulu; but as strength and corpulence, and courage, it is worth more than the Zulus. For among these people there are seers, great sorcerers, who from generation to generation have brought the secret of a prodigious mine, which belonged to a very ancient white king, and which is still full of white stones that shine... Luckily that there is no doubt.<br />
<br />
For me there was all doubt. The ruins of Ophir interested me, as well as our belief and the Bible; but at the mines of shining white stones, known in secret by Zulu sorcerers, I would certainly have laughed had it not been for the respect due to such a worthy hunter as Evans. At dawn Evans left, ending up sadly on the butts of a buffalo. And I no longer thought about Solomon, nor about his diamond mines.'' ~<br />

:: Still, adding a bit of information (or bettering an original text) in a translation does not add up to a completely new version. Other translators would perhaps add something like that in a footnote. There are numerous examples of translators enhancing an original version but don't getting any credit (except in note). And that's the crucial point here: according to the help pages, the author's name ''should be entered exactly as it actually appeared in the publication'' (that is, the title page of a novel publication). In this case there is no hint that Queiroz is credited as author. Christian [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] ([[User talk:Stonecreek|talk]]) 02:23, 20 November 2023 (EST)<br />

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />
As I said, all very minor, and you're under no obligation to add content records for the art -- I only mention it to be sure you're aware that you can if you'd like. Thanks for contributing! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, Marty. I've added Christopher Bing as INTERIORART, as you suggested, and note your other comments - I'll re-read the editing conventions as well!! [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 20:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
I had to reject your submission to change the author credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?825962 this title record] from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to Mary Shelley. Look at the record and you see that there are two other books published with the full name. Accepting the submission to change this title record would effect all three pubs currently listed under it. Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

::Unmerge and variant submissions were fine, but there's another problem: there are two novel records in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?326251 the publication record]. One will have to be removed. The problem here is that the actual novel contained in the book isn't the same title as the book itself. What is the actual title and credit given on the title page on which the novel begins (page 20)? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:15, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: It's <i>Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus</i> and the editor's note on the text confirms that it is the 1818 edition.<br />
<br />
:::: And the author is credited as "Mary Shelley"? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::: Yes, definitely as Mary Shelley: Book cover, title page and copyright page all give her name in that form. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:46, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::This will take several submissions in order to straighten out, so I'm going to do it myself. Most book entries are not as complicated as this one, so I don't want you think this is typical. In most cases, there's one author, one title without any variants. This is a special case. Thanks for your patience. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:04, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::Thanks - looks like I dived in at the deep end!

== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks.

:::::: There are two major unresolved questions about printing numbers (that I know of.) First, do we make it a numeric field or a regular free text field? Second, do we capture just the stated printing number (based on an explicit statement in the book or on the number line) or do we also add a field for the "actual printing number" in case the publisher has committed the unforgivable sin known as "printing number reset". And yes, we'll need to move this discussion to the Community Portal. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

I've place on hold the submission adding the cover art credit to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?100371 this publication]. It is considered good etiquette on the ISFDB for an editor to notify the primary verifier for any significant changes in a verified publication record. Some editors have placed a preference policy at the top of their talk pages about which changes they wish to be notified. I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks.

:: It looks like Feibush may have done the hardcover only. I'd let the note through for all the additional prices, but I'm not so sure about the artist - I couldn't find the cover on [http://www.brucepennington.co.uk/ Bruce Pennington's web page] or on [http://www.djabbic.co.uk/BookCover.php?artistID=2 djabbic].

== ''Eschatus'' by Pennington ==<br />
<br />
I would not give Nostradamus credit for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?284153 this book], but would note the quotations in the note field. And because you've done a verification of the record, you can remove and previous note that no longer applies to the verified record. For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it? In this case, I would suggest removing "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." to "Publication date from Locus #212 (July 1978).". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I meant to type "1976-1977", but even so it's slightly odd. It probably relates to the date that Pennington copyrighted the artwork, rather than being the publication date of the book.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I approved your edits to {{P|179437|The Robert E. Howard Omnibus}}. When you modify the listing for a Primary-verified pub, you should leave note on the verifier's talk page (unless there's a note on the page telling you to do otherwise). If you've obtained information from a reliable secondary source and are adding, it's generally ok to edit first, notify after (if you think you've found something in the pub that the primary verifier missed, you should ask first, then edit). I left a note for [[User:Unapersson]] about this submission, so just something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks, --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 01:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Sourcing data ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission adding this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358074 new publication record], but, unless you're working from the book-in-hand, it's necessary that you note the source for your data in the submission's note field. If you're working from the book-in-hand, let the moderators know in the "Note to the Moderator" field that you have the book and will be doing a primary verification of the record. For information on how to do a primary verification, go [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_verify_data here]. Thanks for your cooperation, and thanks for contributing.

<br />
:Same situation with [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358077 Das Buch Kane]. Please note the source of your data or do a primary verification of the record. I see that you've given the English titles of the novels in this German publication, which I suspect is incorrect. That can be corrected by updating the record and writing over the titles in the content title fields. Also "Kane" is a title series, not a publication series. Here is a [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_work_with_series help page] that explains the difference in the types of series and how to work with each. Thanks.

I'm holding the submission to change the date in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?294669 this record]. Is the date stated in your copy? Is there a stated printing?

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks.

== Notification of a record being primary verified ==<br />

I saw that you're leaving a moderator note on updated records that you have a copy and have verified the book. In cases where you've already verified the record, there's no need to note that.

<br />
In {{P|323585|this pub}}, you verified {{T|1316607|The Miracle of the Lily}} as a short story (<= 7,500 words). There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged. If it is truly an abridged version, then the date should be changed to the first printing of the abridged version and a note added. Thanks. --[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] 17:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There were other stories in that [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?323585 anthology] that had not been merged with the current ISFDB records because of a couple of typos ("The Mortal Imortal" [sic] and "he Ultimate Ingredient" [sic]). So I went ahead and merged them, correcting the typos. About "The Miracle of the Lily", I believe the two records are for the same version of the story and I'll merge them as a novelette. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::"The Miracle of the Lily" is 20 pages long in {{P|323585|this pub}} - I haven't counted the number of words. Based on the Help page saying that a short story is "Roughly, 20 or fewer pages in a book" I went for that, but if you think it should be a novellete ("Roughly 20 to 50 pages in a book"), I'm easy. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest. The story is 28 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?3412 this publication]. Only 17 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?57834 this publication], and 24 pages in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?5704 this publication] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?209077 this one]. The Help section gives a rough guideline. When other factors outweigh those guidelines, it's better to use them instead. You can also use a word counter that ISFDB editor [[User Talk:Swfritter|Swfritter]] wrote on Google docs, which I've found to be quite reliable. The speadsheet can be found [https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pNquO1xUb3u-rvNJSEkQcaw here]. Be sure to only use the shaded cells and don't modify any other cells.

The Google Books snippet view which is malfunctioning as I speak claims the title is "Home, Sweet Home". Will you please doublecheck?

<br />
:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help. Grammatically, the comma version would be correct and I think Benson would be grammatical, so I'll be happy to amend the story title accordingly, if that's what you suggest, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

::: Thanks for Checking. We will update that record to match the title page of the story. When you get a chance, please review [[Help:Screen:EditPub#Title_2|Contents Titles]] in the Wiki Help. Our standard is that the 'official' title of a work is whatever is printed on the starting page of the story.. which is page 408 in this case.

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks.

Please check at the bottom of either the last page of text or the last page and you might find a printing code, like 5-76. Airmont usually put such in later printings, not always, but usually! FYI --[[User:Bluesman|~ Bill, Bluesman]] 23:15, 4 December 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:On the last page of text is the code "6/80". Am I to take it that this is a publication date of June 1980? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:25, 4 December 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: Exactly! --[[User:Bluesman|~ Bill, Bluesman]] 23:38, 4 December 2011 (UTC)<br />

I have your submission to add a Tandem edition on hold. The submission has the same ISBN and year as an existing Panther edition. Did you just forget to change some data on a Cloning, or could this just be the same edition? --[[User:Bluesman|~ Bill, Bluesman]] 23:41, 4 December 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Sorry, Bill, I may have forgotten to change the ISBN from the edition I cloned off. The Tandem edition has ISBN-10: 0426134184; ISBN-13: 9780426134183, according to the Goodreads entry. This is a different edition from those already in ISFDB: the publisher and cover are different. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:46, 4 December 2011 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:::::Sorry, I don't understand your question. The information I took from Goodreads was taken today as was the page count, ISBN, publication year (I didn't take the day/month as this is 01/January, and I'm suspicious of it). The cover image was taken from the Vault of Evil website (which also confirms the publication year taken from Goodreads), as were the contents, which tallied with those in the publication I cloned from. Hope this answers your question. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 00:38, 5 December 2011 (UTC)<br />

:::::: A recent software change meant that GoodReads is now one of the "Other Sites" available when you view a publication.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided). Our practice is to notify after the fact for additions and to ask in advance about data changes. Some editors will have more specific instructions on their talk pages. If a verifier is not active, "ask in advance" becomes simply notify.... I left a note on [[User:Gloinson]]'s page about the additions to ''The Vultures of Whapeton''. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 14:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />

Hi, I have changed pub series to Gollancz SF Masterworks (II) in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?367439 this] verified pub. I know, it's a bit awkward, but new, unnumbered issues as well as reprints go there. Cheers, [[User:P-Brane|P-Brane]] 05:46, 1 February 2012 (UTC).<br />

== adding covers to verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one. Adding a cover where there is none seems like a very minor thing, but having the verifier compare does turn up different printings from time to time. I left a note about {{P|45775|The Queen of Swords}}, so just keep it in mind for future cover additions. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 17:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I do know this, but occasionally forget to leave a message for the verify. Thanks for reminding me and I will try to be more diligent in future. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:40, 19 February 2012 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Lady of the Shroud'' ==<br />
<br />
I believe you may have made a double submission for the same book. Please look at the two 1963 Arrow records for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?14559 this title]. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:30, 2 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I did intend to add two editions, but managed to add the same one twice! I've added cover images and edited the edition info on the duplicated entry. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 00:47, 2 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Star Trek 8 ==<br />
<br />
You'd like to change the publication date of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?215257 this 12th printing] from 0000-00-00 to 1974-00-00, but the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?293135 9th printing] appeared in 1976, which makes 1974 highly unlikely. OCLC gets its data from participating libraries and then combines duplicate records, so it's probably a data recording or deduplication error of some sort. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:22, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: Good catch - thanks for that. In future, I'll be sure to check the printing information within ISFDB before trusting other sources. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 10:58, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: Sounds good, I have rejected the submission. One of the things that I have learned over the years is that different sources have different strengths and weaknesses. For example, Amazon's page counts are almost invariably wrong, but they have surprisingly good information about publication dates, even for older books from the 1960s and 1970s (especially at Amazon UK.)

== ''I Can't Sleep at Night'' ==<br />
<br />
Are you certain that your copy of this title is not the same as [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?193705 this record]? Does it state that it's a second printing? (Your submission doesn't make that clear.) Also, if you derive the ISBN from a stated SBN or catalog number you should record that number in the note field and note the source of the ISBN as given in the record (in this case it being a derivation). [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:26, 11 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
:It is a different publication: different year and has an SBN number, whereas the earlier version does not. I will add a note about the derivation of the ISBN. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:59, 11 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Jungle Tales of Tarzan, Novel or Collection? ==<br />
<br />
I'm proposing that we change the title type of ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9691 Jungle Tales of Tarzan]'' from NOVEL to COLLECTION.

== ''Great Tales of Terror from Europe and America'' ==<br />
<br />
Can you see if the authors of the uncredited stories are explicitly credited to "Anonymous" in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 this anthology]? We try not to use that credit unless it's actually given that way on the story's title page. Thanks for checking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, they are credited to "Anonymous" on the title page of each story. The editor of the book, Peter Haining, notes in his introduction that due to the then "sensational" nature of Gothic fiction, many such stories were published anonymously. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 21:43, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Thanks for looking. I just wanted to make sure. It appears that other records of this publication incorrectly credit these stories. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:31, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Sorry, I think I may have linked to the wrong volume of the anthology. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382348 this one] there's a combination of "uncredited" and "anonymous". Can you check this book as well? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::This one's the same - Anonymous in the book, not Uncredited. I did specify this in the mod note when I added it, but as it wasn't altered I just assumed that it was a naming convention I was unaware of. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record. You have to actually update the record in order for it to match your publication. You can remove the records of those stories that don't match and then add new content records. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:49, 26 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Oh, right - that seems fair enough :-) I've looked at the editing options for titles and none of them seems quite right for what I need to do. I don't want to change the author to Anonymous in the main story title, as it's associated to other publications where it might actually be Uncredited. Do I create a Variant Title? That didn't seem quite right, either. Could you please advise the appropriate steps to take and I will update each record in this publication that needs to be amended. Thanks.

== Amazon images ==<br />
<br />
I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== ''The Frankenstein Omnibus'' ==<br />
<br />
I know you went through much effort and time to add the contents to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285964 this record]. I just don't have the time to merge all of the content records with those that are already in the database. You could have saved yourself all of this by simply importing the contents from [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285966 this record] (in one submission), and then making adjustments for any differences between the two (in a second one). Which is what I will do. You should always check to see if another record has contents similar to the one you're updating. I'll reject the submission. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:03, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion" ==<br />
<br />
I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title. Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 12:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

:Hi. Neither book has a list of copyright dates for individual stories, so I would guess that whoever added the story to {{P|381852|this pub}} just took the date for the collection as a whole.

== ''Mistress of Mistresses'' ==<br />
<br />
About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5. There is no reference on the cover or in the book stating "Ballantine Books (UK)", however, the first price listed is "U.K. (8/-) 40p". On the back cover, top right hand corner it states "Cover printed in Canada". The copyright page states that the book was printed in Canada and it quotes "BALLANTINE BOOKS, INC." and gives their New York address. Hope this helps :-) .<br />
<br />
::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards. I added the zero to the SBN to create a valid ISBN, and added the "(UK)" to the publisher name. This is standard practice to disambiguate publishers who have the same name. In this case, to make it clear that this was a UK printing by the US publisher. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 18:12, 9 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

== Spelling differences in Dune appendix titles ==<br />
<br />
Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles. The question is: Are these spelling mistakes that were made when the ISFDB titles were created, or do these spelling mistakes actually exist in printed pubs? To clear this up, could you please check the following things in your book?<br />
* What is the spelling of the appendix IV title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}<br />
* What is the spelling of the cartographic notes title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1338986|Cartographic Notes}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514596|Cartographic Notes for Map}}<br />
I need to know the titles as they appear inside the book, but it might also be interesting to know if there are differences in the table of contents (assuming your book has a TOC).

:::Hi - I don't know if you still need this info, but just in case you do, the spelling of Appendix IV in my copy is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}} on the Contents page, but the appendix title on page 486 is the variant {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}.

== Incorrectly uploaded cover image file ==<br />
<br />
[http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Image:Frank_Herbert0001.jpg This file] was incorrectly uploaded. Please go to the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?469860 publication record] and use the "Upload cover scan" link, following the prompts. If you have any questions about this message, don't hesitate to ask. In the future, if you have questions about uploading cover images, ask on the [[ISFDB:Help desk]]. Thanks.

:Hi. I uploaded the image the same way I've done for dozens of others, and the edit was accepted by Stonecreek and was displaying OK earlier today. To save me wasting anybody's time, can you tell me what was incorrect about the upload? Thanks, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 20:38, 20 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::You used the "Upload file" link in the wiki section (here), instead of the upload link of the publication record. Compare [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Image:THSCNDPNBK1969.jpg this file] you uploaded back in June with the one you uploaded earlier today. It has a "fair use" disclaimer (required for copyrighted work), it has a link back to the publication record, it has a unique file name which matches the tag of the publication record from which it was linked. If an artist had been credited, it would have been linked to that artist's image files in a separate category on the wiki. The [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Image:Frank_Herbert0001.jpg file] you uploaded has none of these features which are generated automatically when you use the link on the publication record. <br />
<br />
::This is easily fixed by going to the publication record, clicking on the "Upload cover scan" link, and following the directions. The moderator who accepted the submission linking the previously uploaded image file to the publication record didn't notice that the name of the file was unusual ("Frank_Herbert0001.jpg") and would not have known that the image file was improperly uploaded to the wiki otherwise.

<br />
:::Thanks for taking the time to explain that for me - I don't know how or why I uploaded from the wiki page instead of the publication page, but knowing that I did will ensure that I'm aware of, and avoiding doing it, in the future. I'll do it properly now :-) [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:22, 20 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

Hello, I've put your submission on hold to clone this title as it seems to me to be the same book as [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?302292 this already existing one], can you confirm that yours is indeed another printing ? Thanks. [[User:Hauck|Hauck]] 12:56, 31 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi - the other record in the Database for the 1976 edition states that it is the second printing. My copy states as follows: "First British edition published 1976 by Pan Books Limited". There is no statement that it is the second printing, nor any number line from which one might deduce it to be a subsequent printing. On that basis I've taken it to be the first printing. Hope this helps :-) Regards [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 13:02, 31 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Verne's ''Twenty Thousand Leagues...'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

== ''The Memoirs of a Survivor'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />
<br />
If you do have a copy, please do a primary verification of the record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 09:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)<br />

:Hi. You're right, I missed the edit on the date. I've corrected it to 1976. This is actually stated on the copyright page, so I'm not sure why I went to World Cat for it.

== Author of "The Bottle-Imp" ==<br />
<br />
In your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 verified pub] authorship is attributed to Johann Karl August Musäus. It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there's ''Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural'' (verified copies: [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?517709 (1)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289442 (2)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?415777 (3)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?435921 (4)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366609 (5)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?446362 (6)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?577863 (7)]), which contains "A Terribly Strange Bed," "The Three Strangers," "The Most Dangerous Game," "Leiningen Versus the Ants," "A Rose for Emily," "Taboo," and undoubtedly other non-supernatural ones that I'm not noticing at the moment. Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />

<br />
In ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 The Captain of the Pole-Star]'' I intend to mark the following stories non-genre: "The Man from Archangel" (synopsis: John McVittie, sick of human company, retires to a small cottage on the shores of Scotland. One day, he rescues a woman from a wrecked ship. Disaster follows after her when a man from the same ship arrives.); "That Little Square Box" (Mr. Hammond, traveling aboard a steamer, overhears two strangers talking about their mechanism that they are going to set in motion that evening, and assumes they mean a bomb. But it turns out they are just testing the abilities of homing pigeons.); "John Huxford's Hiatus" (Young John Huxford left his wife to find work, but was robbed and hit on the head and lost his memory. He made a new life, and only after 50 years did his memory return. He went back to his wife and found that she had been keeping their home exactly the same all those decades in hopes he might turn up.); and "Elias B. Hopkins: The Parson of Jackman's Gulch" (Parson Hopkins tries to get the miners in an Australian settlement to give up blaspheming every time he enters a saloon. His preaching is impressive enough that he is asked to hold a worship service in a saloon's back room one Sunday. But the service is interrupted by criminous events.) Any objections? --[[User:Vasha77|Vasha]] 21:42, 19 November 2017 (EST)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
Hi, You verified and may be our only source for this 1993 edition of ''Frankenstein'' P{{p|326251}}. Concerning its two "Selections from the Fantasmagoria": <br />
*302 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: Preface • essay by J. B. B. Eyries<br />
*305 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: The Gray Room: A True Story • short story by unknown <br />
# Is Eyries thus credited, without the diacritical mark (Eyriès)? This appears to be our only published attribution to JBBE by name.<br />
# Is the spelling Fantasmagoria correct? The 1812 anthology translated by JBBE is <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> T{{t|1895152}}.<br />
# Does the book identify a translator, preferably with a date, for either work? If not, and you choose to compare the Preface texts, Mrs. Utterson (who didn't include The Grey Room in her anthology) translated the "Preface of the French Translator" in 1813, (viewed at HathiTrust) [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/loc.ark:/13960/t5bc55t6p?urlappend=%3Bseq=11 pp. iii]-viii, with 4 bibliographical footnotes, only one containing English. <br />
<br />
"The Gray Room: A True Story" must be some version of Die Graue Stube by H. Clauren--whose 2005 translator-editor calls that one the first publication in English, T{{t|1895539}}. Ideally we should also know whether your 1993 text is translated from German or from the 1812 French (JBBE). <br />
<br />
Two publication records for ''The Essential Frankenstein'' in a later edition contain almost no data and identify no sources or ISFDB editors. Both of those list as content "Annotations (The Essential Frankenstein)" by Leonard Wolf T{{t|918991}}, which would not be listed in the printed Contents list. If I find one of these in a library before you reply, I will reply to myself with what I learn from that. --[[User:Pwendt|Pwendt]]|[[User talk:Pwendt|talk]] 17:52, 3 January 2020 (EST)<br />
::Hi, Pwendt<br />
# There is no diacritical mark in the author's name as printed.<br />
# I misspelled it, and Fantasmagoriana is correct in both instances. I'm happy for you to make the edit :-)<br />
# The introductory comment to Appendix B states that it is a translation from the French, but does not give a name nor a date.<br />
<br />

:::The text of the Translator's Preface as given in this work is different to the one shown in your link to the Hathi Trust.

I accepted your addition of {{P|768005|The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes}}, but made some changes to match our standards:<br />
*As a non-genre publication, only genre contents or stories by genre authors above the threshold are to be included. I removed contents that are not applicable and add a pub note. In addition to Carnacki's story, I left "Madame Sara" as it is borderline genre (none of the events are but the protagonist has mystical knowledge), "The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railway" as it's been listed in other borderline genre collecctions, and "The Game Played in the Dark" as the rest of the series is listed as genre in the database.<br />
*The information from the copyright page has been moved from the title notes to the pub notes (as it's specific to that publication).<br />
*The publisher has been standardized to Penguin Books.<br />
*The page field should just have the number.<br />

==Star Trek II cover art==<br />
[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?3056899 This cover art] for The Wrath of Khan is currently attributed to Borris Vallejo (two 'r's), which is obviously a typo. I'll submit a correction. If you find the chance, maybe you can have a look at your copy to check whether the typo is actually somewhere in the publication as opposed to someone making it while transcribing. [[User:TerokNor|TerokNor]] 15:09, 2 August 2022 (EDT)<br />
: Hi. The book link you gave is broken, seemingly as the edition using the ISBN I have is no longer in the database. I'll try to add it back in again (been a while since I did that!). Looking at the book itself, Vallejo isn't identified anywhere as the cover artist, not even his signature is visible on the painting. As far as this edition is concerned, then, the misspelling of his name must have been a typo of the person adding it to the database. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 14:00, 3 September 2022 (EDT)<br />
:: Ah, yes, I see from the notes in another edition that the book I have had ISBN 0708822207 on the back cover, but 0708880959 in the copyright page, the latter being used to identify this publication. Either way, Vallejo isn't identified here 🙂 [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 14:08, 3 September 2022 (EDT)<br />

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />
As I said, all very minor, and you're under no obligation to add content records for the art -- I only mention it to be sure you're aware that you can if you'd like. Thanks for contributing! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, Marty. I've added Christopher Bing as INTERIORART, as you suggested, and note your other comments - I'll re-read the editing conventions as well!! [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 20:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
I had to reject your submission to change the author credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?825962 this title record] from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to Mary Shelley. Look at the record and you see that there are two other books published with the full name. Accepting the submission to change this title record would effect all three pubs currently listed under it. Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the feedback - I've submitted an unmerge request for the "Mary Shelley" edition of the work that I have and will see how I get on with making it a variant. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 15:53, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Unmerge and variant submissions were fine, but there's another problem: there are two novel records in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?326251 the publication record]. One will have to be removed. The problem here is that the actual novel contained in the book isn't the same title as the book itself. What is the actual title and credit given on the title page on which the novel begins (page 20)? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:15, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: It's <i>Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus</i> and the editor's note on the text confirms that it is the 1818 edition.<br />
<br />
:::: And the author is credited as "Mary Shelley"? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::: Yes, definitely as Mary Shelley: Book cover, title page and copyright page all give her name in that form. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:46, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::This will take several submissions in order to straighten out, so I'm going to do it myself. Most book entries are not as complicated as this one, so I don't want you think this is typical. In most cases, there's one author, one title without any variants. This is a special case. Thanks for your patience. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:04, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::Thanks - looks like I dived in at the deep end! You've probably noticed that in the contents I gave authorship to the Novel as <i>Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley</i>, which I was going to change to <i>Mary Shelley</i>, as this is obviously how it's given in this particular volume - I was doing the edit rather late at night - but if you would also change that it will save me a job. Thanks, again. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:26, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks.

<br />
:It states on the copyright page that it's printed 2000 and is the third impression.

::The submission was approved before I left the message (otherwise I would not have been able to link to it.)

::::: "Fairly firm"? Does this mean if I code it, it will come? ;-) (Probably needs a bit of discussion first, as I'm not clear about what we should ''base'' printing numbers on.) [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 01:21, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::: There are two major unresolved questions about printing numbers (that I know of.) First, do we make it a numeric field or a regular free text field? Second, do we capture just the stated printing number (based on an explicit statement in the book or on the number line) or do we also add a field for the "actual printing number" in case the publisher has committed the unforgivable sin known as "printing number reset". And yes, we'll need to move this discussion to the Community Portal. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Time and Timothy Grenville ==<br />
<br />
I've place on hold the submission adding the cover art credit to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?100371 this publication]. It is considered good etiquette on the ISFDB for an editor to notify the primary verifier for any significant changes in a verified publication record. Some editors have placed a preference policy at the top of their talk pages about which changes they wish to be notified. I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:10, 25 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:: It looks like Feibush may have done the hardcover only. I'd let the note through for all the additional prices, but I'm not so sure about the artist - I couldn't find the cover on [http://www.brucepennington.co.uk/ Bruce Pennington's web page] or on [http://www.djabbic.co.uk/BookCover.php?artistID=2 djabbic]. The latter of which reminds me that we really could usefully add a page of cover-image thumbnails to ISFDB. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 16:33, 25 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I've emailed the Bruce Pennington website to see if they will confirm whether Pennington is the artist. I'll advise of any response I get back. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 11:39, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::: Thanks! We Mods are so over-worked that we can rarely spare the time to check-up on small issues.

== ''Eschatus'' by Pennington ==<br />
<br />
I would not give Nostradamus credit for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?284153 this book], but would note the quotations in the note field. And because you've done a verification of the record, you can remove and previous note that no longer applies to the verified record. For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it? In this case, I would suggest removing "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." to "Publication date from Locus #212 (July 1978).". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I meant to type "1976-1977", but even so it's slightly odd. It probably relates to the date that Pennington copyrighted the artwork, rather than being the publication date of the book. I will leave the Pub date as is and also the note that this data came from Locus. Thanks, again. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 21:57, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I approved your edits to {{P|179437|The Robert E. Howard Omnibus}}. When you modify the listing for a Primary-verified pub, you should leave note on the verifier's talk page (unless there's a note on the page telling you to do otherwise). If you've obtained information from a reliable secondary source and are adding, it's generally ok to edit first, notify after (if you think you've found something in the pub that the primary verifier missed, you should ask first, then edit). I left a note for [[User:Unapersson]] about this submission, so just something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks, --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 01:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Sourcing data ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission adding this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358074 new publication record], but, unless you're working from the book-in-hand, it's necessary that you note the source for your data in the submission's note field.

I see that you've given the English titles of the novels in this German publication, which I suspect is incorrect. That can be corrected by updating the record and writing over the titles in the content title fields. Also "Kane" is a title series, not a publication series.

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks.

== Notification of a record being primary verified ==<br />
<br />
I saw that you're leaving a moderator note on updated records that you have a copy and have verified the book. In cases where you've already verified the record, there's no need to note that. Moderators are warned when an verified record is being changed. In fact, we're told who verified the record. If we see that the update is from the same editor, we accept it (almost) immediately. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 19:56, 29 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Secondary sources for data elements ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I accepted your submission of the Patrick Woodroffe credit for {{P|114111|Dwellers in the Mirage}}. When you get data from a source other than the book, you should add to the notes, citing the source (so later editors and browsers can tell where it came from). The "moderator notes" are not preserved -- they are just your comments about the submission, to help the moderator. I used the information you provided in the moderator notes to make a note in the publication, and I also notified the verifier, [[User:BLongley]]. Nice find! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:37, 4 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Clare Winger Harris' The Miracle of the Lily ==<br />
<br />
In {{P|323585|this pub}}, you verified {{T|1316607|The Miracle of the Lily}} as a short story (<= 7,500 words). There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged. If it is truly an abridged version, then the date should be changed to the first printing of the abridged version and a note added. Thanks. --[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] 17:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There were other stories in that [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?323585 anthology] that had not been merged with the current ISFDB records because of a couple of typos ("The Mortal Imortal" [sic] and "he Ultimate Ingredient" [sic]). So I went ahead and merged them, correcting the typos. About "The Miracle of the Lily", I believe the two records are for the same version of the story and I'll merge them as a novelette. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::"The Miracle of the Lily" is 20 pages long in {{P|323585|this pub}} - I haven't counted the number of words. Based on the Help page saying that a short story is "Roughly, 20 or fewer pages in a book" I went for that, but if you think it should be a novellete ("Roughly 20 to 50 pages in a book"), I'm easy. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest. The story is 28 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?3412 this publication]. Only 17 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?57834 this publication], and 24 pages in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?5704 this publication] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?209077 this one]. The Help section gives a rough guideline. When other factors outweigh those guidelines, it's better to use them instead. You can also use a word counter that ISFDB editor [[User Talk:Swfritter|Swfritter]] wrote on Google docs, which I've found to be quite reliable. The speadsheet can be found [https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pNquO1xUb3u-rvNJSEkQcaw here]. Be sure to only use the shaded cells and don't modify any other cells.

== "The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson" ==<br />
<br />
: You verified [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?182233 The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson] on 2011-09-18. You claim that the story "Home Sweet Home" lacks a comma in the title. The Google Books snippet view which is malfunctioning as I speak claims the title is "Home, Sweet Home". Will you please doublecheck? What does it say in the table of contents and what does it say on the actual story title page, which I believe is page 408. Thanks. [[User:Zxcvbnm|Zxcvbnm]] 00:45, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help. Grammatically, the comma version would be correct and I think Benson would be grammatical, so I'll be happy to amend the story title accordingly, if that's what you suggest, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Thanks for Checking. We will update that record to match the title page of the story. When you get a chance, please review [[Help:Screen:EditPub#Title_2|Contents Titles]] in the Wiki Help. Our standard is that the 'official' title of a work is whatever is printed on the starting page of the story.. which is page 408 in this case. (We know that a title can appear in the contents, on the title page, and also maybe in an index.. so when there is a difference, the story title page 'wins'). [[User:Kpulliam|Kevin]] 15:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Personally what I do is I enter things from the contents page.. then I check every title page. That helps me find things where the page number is off, or the title changes, or the authors name changes. (In all cases, the actual starting page of the story is the official answer. Thanks again [[User:Kpulliam|Kevin]] 15:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::No, they aren't titled, so "Solomon Kane (map)" seems like the right solution. I will change them both to that, but I don't know how to merge the titles - are you OK to do that?<br />

I'm holding a submission adding a third printing by Warner Books of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?4895 this title]. There's already a record for the second printing with the same date and ISBN as the one you're creating. The only difference is your price is in British currency. Is this a stickered price or is it printed directly on the book? (It may have the US printing exported to the UK.) Thanks for looking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:47, 19 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

:::The back cover has extremely small printing (testing my less than perfect eyesight) saying "Printed in U.S.A.". This is confirmed in clear type on the copyright page.

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided). Our practice is to notify after the fact for additions and to ask in advance about data changes. Some editors will have more specific instructions on their talk pages.

Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one.

:Yes, they are credited to "Anonymous" on the title page of each story.

::Sorry, I think I may have linked to the wrong volume of the anthology. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382348 this one] there's a combination of "uncredited" and "anonymous". Can you check this book as well? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record.

:::::Oh, right - that seems fair enough :-) I've looked at the editing options for titles and none of them seems quite right for what I need to do. I don't want to change the author to Anonymous in the main story title, as it's associated to other publications where it might actually be Uncredited. Do I create a Variant Title? That didn't seem quite right, either. Could you please advise the appropriate steps to take and I will update each record in this publication that needs to be amended. Thanks.

== Amazon images ==<br />
<br />
I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title. Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 12:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

::::Sorry it's taken me a little while to attend to this, but I've just submitted edits for the individual letters in {{P|181381|The Howard Collector}} and trust that you will be able to do the merges.

:Hi. Neither book has a list of copyright dates for individual stories, so I would guess that whoever added the story to {{P|381852|this pub}} just took the date for the collection as a whole.

About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5. There is no reference on the cover or in the book stating "Ballantine Books (UK)", however, the first price listed is "U.K. (8/-) 40p". On the back cover, top right hand corner it states "Cover printed in Canada". The copyright page states that the book was printed in Canada and it quotes "BALLANTINE BOOKS, INC." and gives their New York address. Hope this helps :-) .<br />
<br />
::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards.

Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles.

<br />
The wrong method was used to upload [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Image:Long_Tomorrow0001.jpg this cover image] to the ISFDB. It doesn't have a license tag, a requirement for all copyrighted images uploaded to the ISFDB server. This tag would have been automatically created and added to the file if you'd used the link on the publication record "Upload cover scan". Please click on that and follow the directions on the screen. For further information read the "Semi-automated Procedure" described on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_upload_images_to_the_ISFDB_wiki this help page]. Using this method also creates a file name which matches the publication record (a unique number) and creates a link back to the database publication record from the file's wiki page. Thanks.

::::Hi, Bob. You're right in that there is no specific author attribution for the Introduction starting on page 99. Both Glenn Lord and Darrell C.

:::::If the introduction as published isn't explicitly credited, it should be credited to "uncredited".

:Hi. The Publishers section of the Wiki Help (http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Publishers) lists Granada and Mayflower separately, though noting that Mayflower was an imprint of Granada for a while.

It has a "fair use" disclaimer (required for copyrighted work), it has a link back to the publication record, it has a unique file name which matches the tag of the publication record from which it was linked. If an artist had been credited, it would have been linked to that artist's image files in a separate category on the wiki.

<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

== ''The Memoirs of a Survivor'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />

== Author of "The Bottle-Imp" ==<br />
<br />
In your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 verified pub] authorship is attributed to Johann Karl August Musäus. It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

I'm going to change the title of an Oliver Onions' story that appears in your verified collection ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?363374 Tales from Beyond the Grave]'' from "IO" to "Io". My reason for doing so is that the secondary sources that I'm looking at for the story's original appearance all only capitalize the first letter. If you have some reason to believe that the title should be in all caps, please let me know. Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 16:28, 20 December 2015 (UTC)<br />

== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there's ''Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural'' (verified copies: [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?517709 (1)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289442 (2)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?415777 (3)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?435921 (4)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366609 (5)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?446362 (6)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?577863 (7)]), which contains "A Terribly Strange Bed," "The Three Strangers," "The Most Dangerous Game," "Leiningen Versus the Ants," "A Rose for Emily," "Taboo," and undoubtedly other non-supernatural ones that I'm not noticing at the moment. Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />

In ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 The Captain of the Pole-Star]'' I intend to mark the following stories non-genre: "The Man from Archangel" (synopsis: John McVittie, sick of human company, retires to a small cottage on the shores of Scotland. One day, he rescues a woman from a wrecked ship. Disaster follows after her when a man from the same ship arrives.); "That Little Square Box" (Mr. Hammond, traveling aboard a steamer, overhears two strangers talking about their mechanism that they are going to set in motion that evening, and assumes they mean a bomb. But it turns out they are just testing the abilities of homing pigeons.); "John Huxford's Hiatus" (Young John Huxford left his wife to find work, but was robbed and hit on the head and lost his memory. He made a new life, and only after 50 years did his memory return. He went back to his wife and found that she had been keeping their home exactly the same all those decades in hopes he might turn up.); and "Elias B. Hopkins: The Parson of Jackman's Gulch" (Parson Hopkins tries to get the miners in an Australian settlement to give up blaspheming every time he enters a saloon. His preaching is impressive enough that he is asked to hold a worship service in a saloon's back room one Sunday. But the service is interrupted by criminous events.)

Hello, can you check your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 verified] and see if the "The Captain of the "Pole-Star"" story has the quotes around the last word? Thanks! [[User:Anniemod|Annie]] 18:40, 23 November 2019 (EST)<br />
::Hi, Annie. The book title has no quotation marks around the ship's name, nor does the story title in the contents list, however, the short story itself is titled with them, and they are repeated on the page-top heading throughout. In the text itself, the occasions on which the ship is named, it is rendered in italics without quotation marks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:45, 24 February 2020 (EST)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
Hi, You verified and may be our only source for this 1993 edition of ''Frankenstein'' P{{p|326251}}. Concerning its two "Selections from the Fantasmagoria": <br />
*302 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: Preface • essay by J. B. B. Eyries<br />
*305 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: The Gray Room: A True Story • short story by unknown <br />
# Is Eyries thus credited, without the diacritical mark (Eyriès)? This appears to be our only published attribution to JBBE by name.<br />
# Is the spelling Fantasmagoria correct? The 1812 anthology translated by JBBE is <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> T{{t|1895152}}.<br />
# Does the book identify a translator, preferably with a date, for either work? If not, and you choose to compare the Preface texts, Mrs. Utterson (who didn't include The Grey Room in her anthology) translated the "Preface of the French Translator" in 1813, (viewed at HathiTrust) [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/loc.ark:/13960/t5bc55t6p?urlappend=%3Bseq=11 pp. iii]-viii, with 4 bibliographical footnotes, only one containing English. <br />
<br />
"The Gray Room: A True Story" must be some version of Die Graue Stube by H. Clauren--whose 2005 translator-editor calls that one the first publication in English, T{{t|1895539}}. Ideally we should also know whether your 1993 text is translated from German or from the 1812 French (JBBE). <br />
<br />
Two publication records for ''The Essential Frankenstein'' in a later edition contain almost no data and identify no sources or ISFDB editors. Both of those list as content "Annotations (The Essential Frankenstein)" by Leonard Wolf T{{t|918991}}, which would not be listed in the printed Contents list. If I find one of these in a library before you reply, I will reply to myself with what I learn from that. --[[User:Pwendt|Pwendt]]|[[User talk:Pwendt|talk]] 17:52, 3 January 2020 (EST)<br />
::Hi, Pwendt<br />
# There is no diacritical mark in the author's name as printed.<br />
# I misspelled it, and Fantasmagoriana is correct in both instances. I'm happy for you to make the edit :-)<br />
# The introductory comment to Appendix B states that it is a translation from the French, but does not give a name nor a date.<br />
<br />
No, there is no Contents entry for Wolf as annotator, but there is an entry "About Leonard Wolf ... 357" [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:03, 24 February 2020 (EST)<br />
:::The text of the Translator's Preface as given in this work is different to the one shown in your link to the Hathi Trust.

== The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes ==<br />
<br />
I accepted your addition of {{P|768005|The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes}}, but made some changes to match our standards:<br />
*As a non-genre publication, only genre contents or stories by genre authors above the threshold are to be included. I removed contents that are not applicable and add a pub note. In addition to Carnacki's story, I left "Madame Sara" as it is borderline genre (none of the events are but the protagonist has mystical knowledge), "The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railway" as it's been listed in other borderline genre collecctions, and "The Game Played in the Dark" as the rest of the series is listed as genre in the database.<br />
*The information from the copyright page has been moved from the title notes to the pub notes (as it's specific to that publication).<br />
*The publisher has been standardized to Penguin Books.<br />
*The page field should just have the number.<br />

: Hi. The book link you gave is broken, seemingly as the edition using the ISBN I have is no longer in the database. I'll try to add it back in again (been a while since I did that!). Looking at the book itself, Vallejo isn't identified anywhere as the cover artist, not even his signature is visible on the painting. As far as this edition is concerned, then, the misspelling of his name must have been a typo of the person adding it to the database. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 14:00, 3 September 2022 (EDT)<br />

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />
As I said, all very minor, and you're under no obligation to add content records for the art -- I only mention it to be sure you're aware that you can if you'd like. Thanks for contributing! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
I had to reject your submission to change the author credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?825962 this title record] from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to Mary Shelley. Look at the record and you see that there are two other books published with the full name. Accepting the submission to change this title record would effect all three pubs currently listed under it. Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

::Unmerge and variant submissions were fine, but there's another problem: there are two novel records in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?326251 the publication record].

::::::This will take several submissions in order to straighten out, so I'm going to do it myself. Most book entries are not as complicated as this one, so I don't want you think this is typical.

== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks.

I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks.

<br />
:: It looks like Feibush may have done the hardcover only. I'd let the note through for all the additional prices, but I'm not so sure about the artist - I couldn't find the cover on [http://www.brucepennington.co.uk/ Bruce Pennington's web page] or on [http://www.djabbic.co.uk/BookCover.php?artistID=2 djabbic]. The latter of which reminds me that we really could usefully add a page of cover-image thumbnails to ISFDB. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 16:33, 25 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''Eschatus'' by Pennington ==<br />
<br />
I would not give Nostradamus credit for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?284153 this book], but would note the quotations in the note field. And because you've done a verification of the record, you can remove and previous note that no longer applies to the verified record. For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it? In this case, I would suggest removing "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." to "Publication date from Locus #212 (July 1978).". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I meant to type "1976-1977", but even so it's slightly odd. It probably relates to the date that Pennington copyrighted the artwork, rather than being the publication date of the book.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I approved your edits to {{P|179437|The Robert E. Howard Omnibus}}. When you modify the listing for a Primary-verified pub, you should leave note on the verifier's talk page (unless there's a note on the page telling you to do otherwise). If you've obtained information from a reliable secondary source and are adding, it's generally ok to edit first, notify after (if you think you've found something in the pub that the primary verifier missed, you should ask first, then edit). I left a note for [[User:Unapersson]] about this submission, so just something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks, --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 01:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Sourcing data ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission adding this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358074 new publication record], but, unless you're working from the book-in-hand, it's necessary that you note the source for your data in the submission's note field. If you're working from the book-in-hand, let the moderators know in the "Note to the Moderator" field that you have the book and will be doing a primary verification of the record. For information on how to do a primary verification, go [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_verify_data here]. Thanks for your cooperation, and thanks for contributing.

<br />
:Same situation with [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358077 Das Buch Kane]. Please note the source of your data or do a primary verification of the record. I see that you've given the English titles of the novels in this German publication, which I suspect is incorrect. That can be corrected by updating the record and writing over the titles in the content title fields. Also "Kane" is a title series, not a publication series. Here is a [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_work_with_series help page] that explains the difference in the types of series and how to work with each. Thanks.

I'm holding the submission to change the date in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?294669 this record]. Is the date stated in your copy? Is there a stated printing?

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 01:35, 24 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

:I've no great feelings about it - I was just interpreting the Help topic on length of publications. If this has been debated and a decision made then I'm happy that it should be left as is. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 10:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Notification of a record being primary verified ==<br />

I saw that you're leaving a moderator note on updated records that you have a copy and have verified the book. In cases where you've already verified the record, there's no need to note that. Moderators are warned when an verified record is being changed. In fact, we're told who verified the record. If we see that the update is from the same editor, we accept it (almost) immediately.

The "moderator notes" are not preserved -- they are just your comments about the submission, to help the moderator. I used the information you provided in the moderator notes to make a note in the publication, and I also notified the verifier, [[User:BLongley]].

<br />
In {{P|323585|this pub}}, you verified {{T|1316607|The Miracle of the Lily}} as a short story (<= 7,500 words). There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged. If it is truly an abridged version, then the date should be changed to the first printing of the abridged version and a note added. Thanks. --[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] 17:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There were other stories in that [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?323585 anthology] that had not been merged with the current ISFDB records because of a couple of typos ("The Mortal Imortal" [sic] and "he Ultimate Ingredient" [sic]). So I went ahead and merged them, correcting the typos. About "The Miracle of the Lily", I believe the two records are for the same version of the story and I'll merge them as a novelette. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::"The Miracle of the Lily" is 20 pages long in {{P|323585|this pub}} - I haven't counted the number of words. Based on the Help page saying that a short story is "Roughly, 20 or fewer pages in a book" I went for that, but if you think it should be a novellete ("Roughly 20 to 50 pages in a book"), I'm easy. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest. The story is 28 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?3412 this publication]. Only 17 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?57834 this publication], and 24 pages in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?5704 this publication] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?209077 this one]. The Help section gives a rough guideline. When other factors outweigh those guidelines, it's better to use them instead. You can also use a word counter that ISFDB editor [[User Talk:Swfritter|Swfritter]] wrote on Google docs, which I've found to be quite reliable. The speadsheet can be found [https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pNquO1xUb3u-rvNJSEkQcaw here]. Be sure to only use the shaded cells and don't modify any other cells.

: You verified [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?182233 The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson] on 2011-09-18. You claim that the story "Home Sweet Home" lacks a comma in the title. The Google Books snippet view which is malfunctioning as I speak claims the title is "Home, Sweet Home". Will you please doublecheck? What does it say in the table of contents and what does it say on the actual story title page, which I believe is page 408. Thanks. [[User:Zxcvbnm|Zxcvbnm]] 00:45, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help. Grammatically, the comma version would be correct and I think Benson would be grammatical, so I'll be happy to amend the story title accordingly, if that's what you suggest, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Thanks for Checking. We will update that record to match the title page of the story. When you get a chance, please review [[Help:Screen:EditPub#Title_2|Contents Titles]] in the Wiki Help. Our standard is that the 'official' title of a work is whatever is printed on the starting page of the story.. which is page 408 in this case. (We know that a title can appear in the contents, on the title page, and also maybe in an index.. so when there is a difference, the story title page 'wins').

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided). Our practice is to notify after the fact for additions and to ask in advance about data changes. Some editors will have more specific instructions on their talk pages. If a verifier is not active, "ask in advance" becomes simply notify.... I left a note on [[User:Gloinson]]'s page about the additions to ''The Vultures of Whapeton''. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 14:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

== adding covers to verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one. Adding a cover where there is none seems like a very minor thing, but having the verifier compare does turn up different printings from time to time. I left a note about {{P|45775|The Queen of Swords}}, so just keep it in mind for future cover additions. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 17:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Star Trek 8 ==<br />
<br />
You'd like to change the publication date of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?215257 this 12th printing] from 0000-00-00 to 1974-00-00, but the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?293135 9th printing] appeared in 1976, which makes 1974 highly unlikely. OCLC gets its data from participating libraries and then combines duplicate records, so it's probably a data recording or deduplication error of some sort. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:22, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: Good catch - thanks for that. In future, I'll be sure to check the printing information within ISFDB before trusting other sources. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 10:58, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: Sounds good, I have rejected the submission. One of the things that I have learned over the years is that different sources have different strengths and weaknesses.

(Your submission doesn't make that clear.) Also, if you derive the ISBN from a stated SBN or catalog number you should record that number in the note field and note the source of the ISBN as given in the record (in this case it being a derivation). [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:26, 11 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Can you see if the authors of the uncredited stories are explicitly credited to "Anonymous" in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 this anthology]? We try not to use that credit unless it's actually given that way on the story's title page. Thanks for checking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, they are credited to "Anonymous" on the title page of each story. The editor of the book, Peter Haining, notes in his introduction that due to the then "sensational" nature of Gothic fiction, many such stories were published anonymously. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 21:43, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Thanks for looking. I just wanted to make sure. It appears that other records of this publication incorrectly credit these stories. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:31, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Sorry, I think I may have linked to the wrong volume of the anthology. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382348 this one] there's a combination of "uncredited" and "anonymous". Can you check this book as well? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::This one's the same - Anonymous in the book, not Uncredited. I did specify this in the mod note when I added it, but as it wasn't altered I just assumed that it was a naming convention I was unaware of. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record. You have to actually update the record in order for it to match your publication. You can remove the records of those stories that don't match and then add new content records. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:49, 26 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Oh, right - that seems fair enough :-) I've looked at the editing options for titles and none of them seems quite right for what I need to do. I don't want to change the author to Anonymous in the main story title, as it's associated to other publications where it might actually be Uncredited. Do I create a Variant Title? That didn't seem quite right, either. Could you please advise the appropriate steps to take and I will update each record in this publication that needs to be amended. Thanks.

== Amazon images ==<br />
<br />
I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

I know you went through much effort and time to add the contents to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285964 this record].

You could have saved yourself all of this by simply importing the contents from [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285966 this record] (in one submission), and then making adjustments for any differences between the two (in a second one). Which is what I will do. You should always check to see if another record has contents similar to the one you're updating. I'll reject the submission.

<br />
I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title. Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 12:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

:Hi. Neither book has a list of copyright dates for individual stories, so I would guess that whoever added the story to {{P|381852|this pub}} just took the date for the collection as a whole.

About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks.

:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5. There is no reference on the cover or in the book stating "Ballantine Books (UK)", however, the first price listed is "U.K. (8/-) 40p".

::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards.

== Variant of the poem "Solomon Kane's Homecoming" ==<br />

Could you check how the title page in Howard's ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381 The Howard Collector]'' lists the title of the variant of the poem "Solomon Kane's Homecoming" on its title page? In a different collection it is listed simply as "Solomon Kane's Homecoming (Variant)" and I'm trying to determine whether it is ever presented with the title "Solomon Kane's Homecoming (variant version)". If so, I'll try to get the variant titles set up correctly. Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 00:17, 7 September 2012 (UTC)<br />

You verified this pub, and the first verifier is no longer active, so I'm asking you - again. Sorry to be a pest. There is a letter to August Derleth on p. 184 that contains an untitled poem.

== Spelling differences in Dune appendix titles ==<br />
<br />
Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles. The question is: Are these spelling mistakes that were made when the ISFDB titles were created, or do these spelling mistakes actually exist in printed pubs? To clear this up, could you please check the following things in your book?<br />
* What is the spelling of the appendix IV title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}<br />
* What is the spelling of the cartographic notes title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1338986|Cartographic Notes}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514596|Cartographic Notes for Map}}<br />
I need to know the titles as they appear inside the book, but it might also be interesting to know if there are differences in the table of contents (assuming your book has a TOC). Thanks for your time, Patrick -- [[User:Herzbube|Herzbube]] <sup>[[User talk:Herzbube|Talk]]</sup> 19:43, 28 October 2012 (UTC)<br />

:::Hi - I don't know if you still need this info, but just in case you do, the spelling of Appendix IV in my copy is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}} on the Contents page, but the appendix title on page 486 is the variant {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}.

:::: Thanks for checking, and sorry for my own late reply. After such a long time I had to double-check, and it looks as if all pub/title records now match reality. If you feel generous :-) you could add a note to your pub record that explains that the Contents page has a different spelling (a similar note exists in {{P|87958|this pub}}), but I don't think that it's really necessary.

Hello, I've put your submission on hold to clone this title as it seems to me to be the same book as [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?302292 this already existing one], can you confirm that yours is indeed another printing ? Thanks. [[User:Hauck|Hauck]] 12:56, 31 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi - the other record in the Database for the 1976 edition states that it is the second printing. My copy states as follows: "First British edition published 1976 by Pan Books Limited". There is no statement that it is the second printing, nor any number line from which one might deduce it to be a subsequent printing. On that basis I've taken it to be the first printing. Hope this helps :-) Regards [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 13:02, 31 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Verne's ''Twenty Thousand Leagues...'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

== ''The Memoirs of a Survivor'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />
<br />
If you do have a copy, please do a primary verification of the record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 09:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)<br />

:Hi. You're right, I missed the edit on the date. I've corrected it to 1976. This is actually stated on the copyright page, so I'm not sure why I went to World Cat for it.

== Author of "The Bottle-Imp" ==<br />
<br />
In your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 verified pub] authorship is attributed to Johann Karl August Musäus. It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there's ''Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural'' (verified copies: [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?517709 (1)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289442 (2)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?415777 (3)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?435921 (4)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366609 (5)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?446362 (6)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?577863 (7)]), which contains "A Terribly Strange Bed," "The Three Strangers," "The Most Dangerous Game," "Leiningen Versus the Ants," "A Rose for Emily," "Taboo," and undoubtedly other non-supernatural ones that I'm not noticing at the moment. Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />

== nongenre stories in The Captain of the Pole-Star ==<br />
<br />
In ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 The Captain of the Pole-Star]'' I intend to mark the following stories non-genre: "The Man from Archangel" (synopsis: John McVittie, sick of human company, retires to a small cottage on the shores of Scotland. One day, he rescues a woman from a wrecked ship. Disaster follows after her when a man from the same ship arrives.); "That Little Square Box" (Mr. Hammond, traveling aboard a steamer, overhears two strangers talking about their mechanism that they are going to set in motion that evening, and assumes they mean a bomb. But it turns out they are just testing the abilities of homing pigeons.); "John Huxford's Hiatus" (Young John Huxford left his wife to find work, but was robbed and hit on the head and lost his memory. He made a new life, and only after 50 years did his memory return. He went back to his wife and found that she had been keeping their home exactly the same all those decades in hopes he might turn up.); and "Elias B. Hopkins: The Parson of Jackman's Gulch" (Parson Hopkins tries to get the miners in an Australian settlement to give up blaspheming every time he enters a saloon. His preaching is impressive enough that he is asked to hold a worship service in a saloon's back room one Sunday. But the service is interrupted by criminous events.) Any objections? --[[User:Vasha77|Vasha]] 21:42, 19 November 2017 (EST)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
Hi, You verified and may be our only source for this 1993 edition of ''Frankenstein'' P{{p|326251}}. Concerning its two "Selections from the Fantasmagoria": <br />
*302 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: Preface • essay by J. B. B. Eyries<br />
*305 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: The Gray Room: A True Story • short story by unknown <br />
# Is Eyries thus credited, without the diacritical mark (Eyriès)? This appears to be our only published attribution to JBBE by name.<br />
# Is the spelling Fantasmagoria correct? The 1812 anthology translated by JBBE is <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> T{{t|1895152}}.<br />
# Does the book identify a translator, preferably with a date, for either work? If not, and you choose to compare the Preface texts, Mrs. Utterson (who didn't include The Grey Room in her anthology) translated the "Preface of the French Translator" in 1813, (viewed at HathiTrust) [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/loc.ark:/13960/t5bc55t6p?urlappend=%3Bseq=11 pp. iii]-viii, with 4 bibliographical footnotes, only one containing English. <br />
<br />
"The Gray Room: A True Story" must be some version of Die Graue Stube by H. Clauren--whose 2005 translator-editor calls that one the first publication in English, T{{t|1895539}}. Ideally we should also know whether your 1993 text is translated from German or from the 1812 French (JBBE). <br />
<br />
Two publication records for ''The Essential Frankenstein'' in a later edition contain almost no data and identify no sources or ISFDB editors. Both of those list as content "Annotations (The Essential Frankenstein)" by Leonard Wolf T{{t|918991}}, which would not be listed in the printed Contents list. If I find one of these in a library before you reply, I will reply to myself with what I learn from that. --[[User:Pwendt|Pwendt]]|[[User talk:Pwendt|talk]] 17:52, 3 January 2020 (EST)<br />
::Hi, Pwendt<br />
# There is no diacritical mark in the author's name as printed.<br />
# I misspelled it, and Fantasmagoriana is correct in both instances. I'm happy for you to make the edit :-)<br />
# The introductory comment to Appendix B states that it is a translation from the French, but does not give a name nor a date.<br />

I accepted your addition of {{P|768005|The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes}}, but made some changes to match our standards:<br />
*As a non-genre publication, only genre contents or stories by genre authors above the threshold are to be included. I removed contents that are not applicable and add a pub note. In addition to Carnacki's story, I left "Madame Sara" as it is borderline genre (none of the events are but the protagonist has mystical knowledge), "The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railway" as it's been listed in other borderline genre collecctions, and "The Game Played in the Dark" as the rest of the series is listed as genre in the database.<br />
*The information from the copyright page has been moved from the title notes to the pub notes (as it's specific to that publication).<br />
*The publisher has been standardized to Penguin Books.<br />
*The page field should just have the number.<br />

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

There were two images uploaded, but one had been reverted to the original image, and I deleted it by mistake. I apologize for the error and ask that you upload it again.

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />
As I said, all very minor, and you're under no obligation to add content records for the art -- I only mention it to be sure you're aware that you can if you'd like. Thanks for contributing! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, Marty. I've added Christopher Bing as INTERIORART, as you suggested, and note your other comments - I'll re-read the editing conventions as well!! [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 20:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
::I'm very much a tyro with HTML, but think I have correctly added some breaks to the Notes field so that it's not a block of text. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 20:24, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Both submissions were accepted. Good job. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
I had to reject your submission to change the author credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?825962 this title record] from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to Mary Shelley. Look at the record and you see that there are two other books published with the full name. Accepting the submission to change this title record would effect all three pubs currently listed under it. Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the feedback - I've submitted an unmerge request for the "Mary Shelley" edition of the work that I have and will see how I get on with making it a variant. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 15:53, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Unmerge and variant submissions were fine, but there's another problem: there are two novel records in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?326251 the publication record]. One will have to be removed. The problem here is that the actual novel contained in the book isn't the same title as the book itself. What is the actual title and credit given on the title page on which the novel begins (page 20)? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:15, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: It's <i>Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus</i> and the editor's note on the text confirms that it is the 1818 edition.<br />
<br />
:::: And the author is credited as "Mary Shelley"? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::: Yes, definitely as Mary Shelley: Book cover, title page and copyright page all give her name in that form. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:46, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::This will take several submissions in order to straighten out, so I'm going to do it myself. Most book entries are not as complicated as this one, so I don't want you think this is typical. In most cases, there's one author, one title without any variants. This is a special case. Thanks for your patience. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:04, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::Thanks - looks like I dived in at the deep end! You've probably noticed that in the contents I gave authorship to the Novel as <i>Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley</i>, which I was going to change to <i>Mary Shelley</i>, as this is obviously how it's given in this particular volume - I was doing the edit rather late at night - but if you would also change that it will save me a job. Thanks, again. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:26, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:01, 22 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== The Forever War ==<br />
<br />
Except for the date [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?355650 the record] you just added is identical to an earlier [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?109731 pub record]. Does your copy state the date and/or a printing number? Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:01, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It states on the copyright page that it's printed 2000 and is the third impression. The cover artist is stated on the back cover as Chris Moore, but the art itself is different to the other editions already in the list. I will upload a cover scan if this edition is approved. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 00:14, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The submission was approved before I left the message (otherwise I would not have been able to link to it.)

:::: There are fairly firm plans to add a new field for "printing number", but it hasn't happened yet. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 00:44, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::: "Fairly firm"? Does this mean if I code it, it will come? ;-) (Probably needs a bit of discussion first, as I'm not clear about what we should ''base'' printing numbers on.) [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 01:21, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::: There are two major unresolved questions about printing numbers (that I know of.) First, do we make it a numeric field or a regular free text field? Second, do we capture just the stated printing number (based on an explicit statement in the book or on the number line) or do we also add a field for the "actual printing number" in case the publisher has committed the unforgivable sin known as "printing number reset". And yes, we'll need to move this discussion to the Community Portal. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Time and Timothy Grenville ==<br />
<br />
I've place on hold the submission adding the cover art credit to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?100371 this publication]. It is considered good etiquette on the ISFDB for an editor to notify the primary verifier for any significant changes in a verified publication record. Some editors have placed a preference policy at the top of their talk pages about which changes they wish to be notified. I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:10, 25 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: We might have an answer if Hauck can check {{T|1266914|this}}. It may be Ray Feibush. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 13:53, 25 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: It looks like Feibush may have done the hardcover only. I'd let the note through for all the additional prices, but I'm not so sure about the artist - I couldn't find the cover on [http://www.brucepennington.co.uk/ Bruce Pennington's web page] or on [http://www.djabbic.co.uk/BookCover.php?artistID=2 djabbic]. The latter of which reminds me that we really could usefully add a page of cover-image thumbnails to ISFDB. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 16:33, 25 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I've emailed the Bruce Pennington website to see if they will confirm whether Pennington is the artist. I'll advise of any response I get back. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 11:39, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::: Thanks! We Mods are so over-worked that we can rarely spare the time to check-up on small issues.

== ''Eschatus'' by Pennington ==<br />
<br />
I would not give Nostradamus credit for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?284153 this book], but would note the quotations in the note field. And because you've done a verification of the record, you can remove and previous note that no longer applies to the verified record. For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it? In this case, I would suggest removing "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." to "Publication date from Locus #212 (July 1978).". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I meant to type "1976-1977", but even so it's slightly odd. It probably relates to the date that Pennington copyrighted the artwork, rather than being the publication date of the book. I will leave the Pub date as is and also the note that this data came from Locus. Thanks, again. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 21:57, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I approved your edits to {{P|179437|The Robert E. Howard Omnibus}}. When you modify the listing for a Primary-verified pub, you should leave note on the verifier's talk page (unless there's a note on the page telling you to do otherwise). If you've obtained information from a reliable secondary source and are adding, it's generally ok to edit first, notify after (if you think you've found something in the pub that the primary verifier missed, you should ask first, then edit). I left a note for [[User:Unapersson]] about this submission, so just something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks, --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 01:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Sourcing data ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission adding this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358074 new publication record], but, unless you're working from the book-in-hand, it's necessary that you note the source for your data in the submission's note field.

:Same situation with [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358077 Das Buch Kane]. Please note the source of your data or do a primary verification of the record. I see that you've given the English titles of the novels in this German publication, which I suspect is incorrect. That can be corrected by updating the record and writing over the titles in the content title fields. Also "Kane" is a title series, not a publication series.

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 01:35, 24 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Hi. I accepted your submission of the Patrick Woodroffe credit for {{P|114111|Dwellers in the Mirage}}. When you get data from a source other than the book, you should add to the notes, citing the source (so later editors and browsers can tell where it came from). The "moderator notes" are not preserved -- they are just your comments about the submission, to help the moderator. I used the information you provided in the moderator notes to make a note in the publication, and I also notified the verifier, [[User:BLongley]]. Nice find! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:37, 4 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Clare Winger Harris' The Miracle of the Lily ==<br />
<br />
In {{P|323585|this pub}}, you verified {{T|1316607|The Miracle of the Lily}} as a short story (<= 7,500 words). There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged. If it is truly an abridged version, then the date should be changed to the first printing of the abridged version and a note added. Thanks. --[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] 17:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There were other stories in that [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?323585 anthology] that had not been merged with the current ISFDB records because of a couple of typos ("The Mortal Imortal" [sic] and "he Ultimate Ingredient" [sic]). So I went ahead and merged them, correcting the typos. About "The Miracle of the Lily", I believe the two records are for the same version of the story and I'll merge them as a novelette. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::"The Miracle of the Lily" is 20 pages long in {{P|323585|this pub}} - I haven't counted the number of words. Based on the Help page saying that a short story is "Roughly, 20 or fewer pages in a book" I went for that, but if you think it should be a novellete ("Roughly 20 to 50 pages in a book"), I'm easy. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest. The story is 28 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?3412 this publication]. Only 17 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?57834 this publication], and 24 pages in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?5704 this publication] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?209077 this one]. The Help section gives a rough guideline. When other factors outweigh those guidelines, it's better to use them instead. You can also use a word counter that ISFDB editor [[User Talk:Swfritter|Swfritter]] wrote on Google docs, which I've found to be quite reliable. The speadsheet can be found [https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pNquO1xUb3u-rvNJSEkQcaw here]. Be sure to only use the shaded cells and don't modify any other cells.

== "The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson" ==<br />
<br />
: You verified [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?182233 The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson] on 2011-09-18. You claim that the story "Home Sweet Home" lacks a comma in the title. The Google Books snippet view which is malfunctioning as I speak claims the title is "Home, Sweet Home". Will you please doublecheck? What does it say in the table of contents and what does it say on the actual story title page, which I believe is page 408. Thanks. [[User:Zxcvbnm|Zxcvbnm]] 00:45, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help. Grammatically, the comma version would be correct and I think Benson would be grammatical, so I'll be happy to amend the story title accordingly, if that's what you suggest, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Thanks for Checking. We will update that record to match the title page of the story. When you get a chance, please review [[Help:Screen:EditPub#Title_2|Contents Titles]] in the Wiki Help. Our standard is that the 'official' title of a work is whatever is printed on the starting page of the story.. which is page 408 in this case. (We know that a title can appear in the contents, on the title page, and also maybe in an index.. so when there is a difference, the story title page 'wins'). [[User:Kpulliam|Kevin]] 15:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Personally what I do is I enter things from the contents page.. then I check every title page. That helps me find things where the page number is off, or the title changes, or the authors name changes. (In all cases, the actual starting page of the story is the official answer. Thanks again [[User:Kpulliam|Kevin]] 15:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::No, they aren't titled, so "Solomon Kane (map)" seems like the right solution. I will change them both to that, but I don't know how to merge the titles - are you OK to do that?<br />

I'm holding a submission adding a third printing by Warner Books of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?4895 this title]. There's already a record for the second printing with the same date and ISBN as the one you're creating. The only difference is your price is in British currency. Is this a stickered price or is it printed directly on the book? (It may have the US printing exported to the UK.) Thanks for looking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:47, 19 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It's printed directly on the back cover. There are no other cover prices, only the UK price. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:48, 19 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

:::The back cover has extremely small printing (testing my less than perfect eyesight) saying "Printed in U.S.A.". This is confirmed in clear type on the copyright page. On the title page it states, "Warner Books are distributed in the United Kingdom by Hamlyn Paperbacks," so it looks like it was printed in the US specifically for the UK market.

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:50, 26 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided). Our practice is to notify after the fact for additions and to ask in advance about data changes. Some editors will have more specific instructions on their talk pages. If a verifier is not active, "ask in advance" becomes simply notify.... I left a note on [[User:Gloinson]]'s page about the additions to ''The Vultures of Whapeton''.

Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one.

::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record.

I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
I know you went through much effort and time to add the contents to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285964 this record]. I just don't have the time to merge all of the content records with those that are already in the database. You could have saved yourself all of this by simply importing the contents from [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285966 this record] (in one submission), and then making adjustments for any differences between the two (in a second one). Which is what I will do. You should always check to see if another record has contents similar to the one you're updating. I'll reject the submission.

<br />
I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title. Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 12:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::Sorry it's taken me a little while to attend to this, but I've just submitted edits for the individual letters in {{P|181381|The Howard Collector}} and trust that you will be able to do the merges.

:Hi. Neither book has a list of copyright dates for individual stories, so I would guess that whoever added the story to {{P|381852|this pub}} just took the date for the collection as a whole. In his introduction to the story, Christopher Lee refers to its original publication in <i>Dracula's Guest</i>, and a quick scan of both stories would indicate that they are the same.

<br />
About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5. There is no reference on the cover or in the book stating "Ballantine Books (UK)", however, the first price listed is "U.K. (8/-) 40p". On the back cover, top right hand corner it states "Cover printed in Canada". The copyright page states that the book was printed in Canada and it quotes "BALLANTINE BOOKS, INC." and gives their New York address. Hope this helps :-) .<br />
<br />
::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards. I added the zero to the SBN to create a valid ISBN, and added the "(UK)" to the publisher name. This is standard practice to disambiguate publishers who have the same name. In this case, to make it clear that this was a UK printing by the US publisher. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 18:12, 9 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

== Spelling differences in Dune appendix titles ==<br />

Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles.

::::Hi, Bob. You're right in that there is no specific author attribution for the Introduction starting on page 99. Both Glenn Lord and Darrell C.

:Hi. The Publishers section of the Wiki Help (http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Publishers) lists Granada and Mayflower separately, though noting that Mayflower was an imprint of Granada for a while.

It has a "fair use" disclaimer (required for copyrighted work), it has a link back to the publication record, it has a unique file name which matches the tag of the publication record from which it was linked.

<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />

== Author of "The Bottle-Imp" ==<br />
<br />
In your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 verified pub] authorship is attributed to Johann Karl August Musäus. It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

== Change to verified ''Realms of Darkness'' ==<br />
<br />
I have gone through ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?383794 Realms of Darkness]'' and removed nongenre stories. --[[User:Vasha77|Vasha]] 20:13, 29 May 2017 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there's ''Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural'' (verified copies: [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?517709 (1)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289442 (2)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?415777 (3)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?435921 (4)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366609 (5)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?446362 (6)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?577863 (7)]), which contains "A Terribly Strange Bed," "The Three Strangers," "The Most Dangerous Game," "Leiningen Versus the Ants," "A Rose for Emily," "Taboo," and undoubtedly other non-supernatural ones that I'm not noticing at the moment. Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />
* "Taboo" by Geoffrey Household - An eastern European community is terrorized by a series of murders. The mystery is solved, but the terror, and other psychological effects, linger on.

<br />
In ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 The Captain of the Pole-Star]'' I intend to mark the following stories non-genre: "The Man from Archangel" (synopsis: John McVittie, sick of human company, retires to a small cottage on the shores of Scotland. One day, he rescues a woman from a wrecked ship. Disaster follows after her when a man from the same ship arrives.); "That Little Square Box" (Mr. Hammond, traveling aboard a steamer, overhears two strangers talking about their mechanism that they are going to set in motion that evening, and assumes they mean a bomb. But it turns out they are just testing the abilities of homing pigeons.); "John Huxford's Hiatus" (Young John Huxford left his wife to find work, but was robbed and hit on the head and lost his memory. He made a new life, and only after 50 years did his memory return. He went back to his wife and found that she had been keeping their home exactly the same all those decades in hopes he might turn up.); and "Elias B. Hopkins: The Parson of Jackman's Gulch" (Parson Hopkins tries to get the miners in an Australian settlement to give up blaspheming every time he enters a saloon. His preaching is impressive enough that he is asked to hold a worship service in a saloon's back room one Sunday. But the service is interrupted by criminous events.)

# Is the spelling Fantasmagoria correct? The 1812 anthology translated by JBBE is <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> T{{t|1895152}}.<br />
# Does the book identify a translator, preferably with a date, for either work?

== The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes ==<br />
<br />
I accepted your addition of {{P|768005|The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes}}, but made some changes to match our standards:<br />
*As a non-genre publication, only genre contents or stories by genre authors above the threshold are to be included. I removed contents that are not applicable and add a pub note. In addition to Carnacki's story, I left "Madame Sara" as it is borderline genre (none of the events are but the protagonist has mystical knowledge), "The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railway" as it's been listed in other borderline genre collecctions, and "The Game Played in the Dark" as the rest of the series is listed as genre in the database.<br />
*The information from the copyright page has been moved from the title notes to the pub notes (as it's specific to that publication).<br />
*The publisher has been standardized to Penguin Books.<br />
*The page field should just have the number.<br />

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />
As I said, all very minor, and you're under no obligation to add content records for the art -- I only mention it to be sure you're aware that you can if you'd like. Thanks for contributing! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />

<br />
I had to reject your submission to change the author credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?825962 this title record] from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to Mary Shelley. Look at the record and you see that there are two other books published with the full name. Accepting the submission to change this title record would effect all three pubs currently listed under it. Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

::::::This will take several submissions in order to straighten out, so I'm going to do it myself. Most book entries are not as complicated as this one, so I don't want you think this is typical.

== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks.

I've place on hold the submission adding the cover art credit to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?100371 this publication]. It is considered good etiquette on the ISFDB for an editor to notify the primary verifier for any significant changes in a verified publication record. Some editors have placed a preference policy at the top of their talk pages about which changes they wish to be notified. I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks.

For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source.

:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it? In this case, I would suggest removing "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." to "Publication date from Locus #212 (July 1978).". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

::I meant to type "1976-1977", but even so it's slightly odd. It probably relates to the date that Pennington copyrighted the artwork, rather than being the publication date of the book.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I approved your edits to {{P|179437|The Robert E. Howard Omnibus}}. When you modify the listing for a Primary-verified pub, you should leave note on the verifier's talk page (unless there's a note on the page telling you to do otherwise). If you've obtained information from a reliable secondary source and are adding, it's generally ok to edit first, notify after (if you think you've found something in the pub that the primary verifier missed, you should ask first, then edit). I left a note for [[User:Unapersson]] about this submission, so just something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks, --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 01:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Sourcing data ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission adding this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358074 new publication record], but, unless you're working from the book-in-hand, it's necessary that you note the source for your data in the submission's note field. If you're working from the book-in-hand, let the moderators know in the "Note to the Moderator" field that you have the book and will be doing a primary verification of the record. For information on how to do a primary verification, go [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_verify_data here]. Thanks for your cooperation, and thanks for contributing.

<br />
:Same situation with [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358077 Das Buch Kane]. Please note the source of your data or do a primary verification of the record. I see that you've given the English titles of the novels in this German publication, which I suspect is incorrect. That can be corrected by updating the record and writing over the titles in the content title fields. Also "Kane" is a title series, not a publication series. Here is a [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_work_with_series help page] that explains the difference in the types of series and how to work with each. Thanks.

I'm holding the submission to change the date in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?294669 this record]. Is the date stated in your copy? Is there a stated printing?

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 01:35, 24 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I've no great feelings about it - I was just interpreting the Help topic on length of publications. If this has been debated and a decision made then I'm happy that it should be left as is. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 10:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Notification of a record being primary verified ==<br />
<br />
I saw that you're leaving a moderator note on updated records that you have a copy and have verified the book. In cases where you've already verified the record, there's no need to note that. Moderators are warned when an verified record is being changed. In fact, we're told who verified the record. If we see that the update is from the same editor, we accept it (almost) immediately.

Hi. I accepted your submission of the Patrick Woodroffe credit for {{P|114111|Dwellers in the Mirage}}. When you get data from a source other than the book, you should add to the notes, citing the source (so later editors and browsers can tell where it came from). The "moderator notes" are not preserved -- they are just your comments about the submission, to help the moderator. I used the information you provided in the moderator notes to make a note in the publication, and I also notified the verifier, [[User:BLongley]].

<br />
In {{P|323585|this pub}}, you verified {{T|1316607|The Miracle of the Lily}} as a short story (<= 7,500 words). There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged. If it is truly an abridged version, then the date should be changed to the first printing of the abridged version and a note added. Thanks. --[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] 17:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There were other stories in that [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?323585 anthology] that had not been merged with the current ISFDB records because of a couple of typos ("The Mortal Imortal" [sic] and "he Ultimate Ingredient" [sic]). So I went ahead and merged them, correcting the typos. About "The Miracle of the Lily", I believe the two records are for the same version of the story and I'll merge them as a novelette. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::"The Miracle of the Lily" is 20 pages long in {{P|323585|this pub}} - I haven't counted the number of words. Based on the Help page saying that a short story is "Roughly, 20 or fewer pages in a book" I went for that, but if you think it should be a novellete ("Roughly 20 to 50 pages in a book"), I'm easy. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest. The story is 28 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?3412 this publication]. Only 17 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?57834 this publication], and 24 pages in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?5704 this publication] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?209077 this one]. The Help section gives a rough guideline. When other factors outweigh those guidelines, it's better to use them instead. You can also use a word counter that ISFDB editor [[User Talk:Swfritter|Swfritter]] wrote on Google docs, which I've found to be quite reliable. The speadsheet can be found [https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pNquO1xUb3u-rvNJSEkQcaw here]. Be sure to only use the shaded cells and don't modify any other cells.

<br />
: You verified [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?182233 The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson] on 2011-09-18. You claim that the story "Home Sweet Home" lacks a comma in the title. The Google Books snippet view which is malfunctioning as I speak claims the title is "Home, Sweet Home". Will you please doublecheck? What does it say in the table of contents and what does it say on the actual story title page, which I believe is page 408. Thanks. [[User:Zxcvbnm|Zxcvbnm]] 00:45, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help. Grammatically, the comma version would be correct and I think Benson would be grammatical, so I'll be happy to amend the story title accordingly, if that's what you suggest, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Thanks for Checking. We will update that record to match the title page of the story. When you get a chance, please review [[Help:Screen:EditPub#Title_2|Contents Titles]] in the Wiki Help. Our standard is that the 'official' title of a work is whatever is printed on the starting page of the story.. which is page 408 in this case. (We know that a title can appear in the contents, on the title page, and also maybe in an index.. so when there is a difference, the story title page 'wins').

::: Personally what I do is I enter things from the contents page.. then I check every title page.

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks.

When convenient, could you please doublecheck the ISBN for {{P|http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?368089|The King of Elfland's Daughter}}? I have apparently the same May 1978 Fourth printing, but the ISBN on mine is 0-345-27867-4 instead of the listed 0-345-25523-2. Possibly left over from a clone? Thanks.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided). Our practice is to notify after the fact for additions and to ask in advance about data changes. Some editors will have more specific instructions on their talk pages. If a verifier is not active, "ask in advance" becomes simply notify.... I left a note on [[User:Gloinson]]'s page about the additions to ''The Vultures of Whapeton''. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 14:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, Marty - I did know this, but didn't notice that the publication had been verified. Thanks for picking that up for me. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:03, 2 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Ubik ==<br />
<br />
Hi, I have changed pub series to Gollancz SF Masterworks (II) in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?367439 this] verified pub. I know, it's a bit awkward, but new, unnumbered issues as well as reprints go there. Cheers, [[User:P-Brane|P-Brane]] 05:46, 1 February 2012 (UTC).<br />

== adding covers to verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one. Adding a cover where there is none seems like a very minor thing, but having the verifier compare does turn up different printings from time to time. I left a note about {{P|45775|The Queen of Swords}}, so just keep it in mind for future cover additions. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 17:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I do know this, but occasionally forget to leave a message for the verify. Thanks for reminding me and I will try to be more diligent in future. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:40, 19 February 2012 (UTC)<br />

I believe you may have made a double submission for the same book. Please look at the two 1963 Arrow records for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?14559 this title]. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:30, 2 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Star Trek 8 ==<br />
<br />
You'd like to change the publication date of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?215257 this 12th printing] from 0000-00-00 to 1974-00-00, but the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?293135 9th printing] appeared in 1976, which makes 1974 highly unlikely. OCLC gets its data from participating libraries and then combines duplicate records, so it's probably a data recording or deduplication error of some sort. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:22, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: Good catch - thanks for that. In future, I'll be sure to check the printing information within ISFDB before trusting other sources. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 10:58, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: Sounds good, I have rejected the submission. One of the things that I have learned over the years is that different sources have different strengths and weaknesses. For example, Amazon's page counts are almost invariably wrong, but they have surprisingly good information about publication dates, even for older books from the 1960s and 1970s (especially at Amazon UK.)

<br />
Are you certain that your copy of this title is not the same as [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?193705 this record]? Does it state that it's a second printing? (Your submission doesn't make that clear.) Also, if you derive the ISBN from a stated SBN or catalog number you should record that number in the note field and note the source of the ISBN as given in the record (in this case it being a derivation). [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:26, 11 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
:It is a different publication: different year and has an SBN number, whereas the earlier version does not. I will add a note about the derivation of the ISBN. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:59, 11 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Jungle Tales of Tarzan, Novel or Collection? ==<br />
<br />
I'm proposing that we change the title type of ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9691 Jungle Tales of Tarzan]'' from NOVEL to COLLECTION.

== ''Great Tales of Terror from Europe and America'' ==<br />
<br />
Can you see if the authors of the uncredited stories are explicitly credited to "Anonymous" in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 this anthology]? We try not to use that credit unless it's actually given that way on the story's title page. Thanks for checking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, they are credited to "Anonymous" on the title page of each story. The editor of the book, Peter Haining, notes in his introduction that due to the then "sensational" nature of Gothic fiction, many such stories were published anonymously. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 21:43, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Thanks for looking. I just wanted to make sure. It appears that other records of this publication incorrectly credit these stories. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:31, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Sorry, I think I may have linked to the wrong volume of the anthology. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382348 this one] there's a combination of "uncredited" and "anonymous". Can you check this book as well? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::This one's the same - Anonymous in the book, not Uncredited. I did specify this in the mod note when I added it, but as it wasn't altered I just assumed that it was a naming convention I was unaware of. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record. You have to actually update the record in order for it to match your publication. You can remove the records of those stories that don't match and then add new content records. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:49, 26 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Oh, right - that seems fair enough :-) I've looked at the editing options for titles and none of them seems quite right for what I need to do. I don't want to change the author to Anonymous in the main story title, as it's associated to other publications where it might actually be Uncredited. Do I create a Variant Title? That didn't seem quite right, either. Could you please advise the appropriate steps to take and I will update each record in this publication that needs to be amended. Thanks.

== Amazon images ==<br />
<br />
I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Frankenstein Omnibus'' ==<br />
<br />
I know you went through much effort and time to add the contents to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285964 this record]. I just don't have the time to merge all of the content records with those that are already in the database. You could have saved yourself all of this by simply importing the contents from [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285966 this record] (in one submission), and then making adjustments for any differences between the two (in a second one). Which is what I will do. You should always check to see if another record has contents similar to the one you're updating. I'll reject the submission.

== Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion" ==<br />
<br />
I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title. Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 12:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::Sorry it's taken me a little while to attend to this, but I've just submitted edits for the individual letters in {{P|181381|The Howard Collector}} and trust that you will be able to do the merges.

:Hi. Neither book has a list of copyright dates for individual stories, so I would guess that whoever added the story to {{P|381852|this pub}} just took the date for the collection as a whole. In his introduction to the story, Christopher Lee refers to its original publication in <i>Dracula's Guest</i>, and a quick scan of both stories would indicate that they are the same.

About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5. There is no reference on the cover or in the book stating "Ballantine Books (UK)", however, the first price listed is "U.K. (8/-) 40p". On the back cover, top right hand corner it states "Cover printed in Canada". The copyright page states that the book was printed in Canada and it quotes "BALLANTINE BOOKS, INC." and gives their New York address. Hope this helps :-) .<br />
<br />
::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards. I added the zero to the SBN to create a valid ISBN, and added the "(UK)" to the publisher name. This is standard practice to disambiguate publishers who have the same name. In this case, to make it clear that this was a UK printing by the US publisher. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 18:12, 9 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
You verified this pub, and the first verifier is no longer active, so I'm asking you - again. Sorry to be a pest. There is a letter to August Derleth on p. 184 that contains an untitled poem. I would like to know if that poem appears on p. 184 or 185. I'm merging Howard's poems, and will enter that poem in the contents for <i>The Howard Collector</i> so I can merge that pub with the others containing the same poem. Thanks for your help!

== Spelling differences in Dune appendix titles ==<br />
<br />
Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles. The question is: Are these spelling mistakes that were made when the ISFDB titles were created, or do these spelling mistakes actually exist in printed pubs? To clear this up, could you please check the following things in your book?<br />
* What is the spelling of the appendix IV title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}<br />
* What is the spelling of the cartographic notes title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1338986|Cartographic Notes}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514596|Cartographic Notes for Map}}<br />
I need to know the titles as they appear inside the book, but it might also be interesting to know if there are differences in the table of contents (assuming your book has a TOC). Thanks for your time, Patrick -- [[User:Herzbube|Herzbube]] <sup>[[User talk:Herzbube|Talk]]</sup> 19:43, 28 October 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] has already approved my edit for the appendix IV title, and the title records in question have been merged. The cartographic notes titles are still unmerged. Please let me know if you do not agree with what happened. I will continue to monitor your talk page for a few days more for your response, afterwards please write directly to my talk page.

:::Hi - I don't know if you still need this info, but just in case you do, the spelling of Appendix IV in my copy is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}} on the Contents page, but the appendix title on page 486 is the variant {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}.

:::: Thanks for checking, and sorry for my own late reply. After such a long time I had to double-check, and it looks as if all pub/title records now match reality. If you feel generous :-) you could add a note to your pub record that explains that the Contents page has a different spelling (a similar note exists in {{P|87958|this pub}}), but I don't think that it's really necessary.

::::Hi, Bob. You're right in that there is no specific author attribution for the Introduction starting on page 99. Both Glenn Lord and Darrell C.

== Verne's ''Twenty Thousand Leagues...'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

== ''The Memoirs of a Survivor'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />
<br />
If you do have a copy, please do a primary verification of the record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 09:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)<br />

:Hi. You're right, I missed the edit on the date. I've corrected it to 1976. This is actually stated on the copyright page, so I'm not sure why I went to World Cat for it. I've removed that ref from the publication notes. I note what you say about best practice re cloning. Thanks for the pointers :-) [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 11:21, 8 March 2015 (UTC)<br />

== Author of "The Bottle-Imp" ==<br />
<br />
In your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 verified pub] authorship is attributed to Johann Karl August Musäus. It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there's ''Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural'' (verified copies: [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?517709 (1)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289442 (2)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?415777 (3)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?435921 (4)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366609 (5)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?446362 (6)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?577863 (7)]), which contains "A Terribly Strange Bed," "The Three Strangers," "The Most Dangerous Game," "Leiningen Versus the Ants," "A Rose for Emily," "Taboo," and undoubtedly other non-supernatural ones that I'm not noticing at the moment. Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />

== nongenre stories in The Captain of the Pole-Star ==<br />
<br />
In ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 The Captain of the Pole-Star]'' I intend to mark the following stories non-genre: "The Man from Archangel" (synopsis: John McVittie, sick of human company, retires to a small cottage on the shores of Scotland. One day, he rescues a woman from a wrecked ship. Disaster follows after her when a man from the same ship arrives.); "That Little Square Box" (Mr. Hammond, traveling aboard a steamer, overhears two strangers talking about their mechanism that they are going to set in motion that evening, and assumes they mean a bomb. But it turns out they are just testing the abilities of homing pigeons.); "John Huxford's Hiatus" (Young John Huxford left his wife to find work, but was robbed and hit on the head and lost his memory. He made a new life, and only after 50 years did his memory return. He went back to his wife and found that she had been keeping their home exactly the same all those decades in hopes he might turn up.); and "Elias B. Hopkins: The Parson of Jackman's Gulch" (Parson Hopkins tries to get the miners in an Australian settlement to give up blaspheming every time he enters a saloon. His preaching is impressive enough that he is asked to hold a worship service in a saloon's back room one Sunday. But the service is interrupted by criminous events.) Any objections? --[[User:Vasha77|Vasha]] 21:42, 19 November 2017 (EST)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
Hi, You verified and may be our only source for this 1993 edition of ''Frankenstein'' P{{p|326251}}. Concerning its two "Selections from the Fantasmagoria": <br />
*302 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: Preface • essay by J. B. B. Eyries<br />
*305 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: The Gray Room: A True Story • short story by unknown <br />
# Is Eyries thus credited, without the diacritical mark (Eyriès)? This appears to be our only published attribution to JBBE by name.<br />
# Is the spelling Fantasmagoria correct? The 1812 anthology translated by JBBE is <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> T{{t|1895152}}.<br />
# Does the book identify a translator, preferably with a date, for either work? If not, and you choose to compare the Preface texts, Mrs. Utterson (who didn't include The Grey Room in her anthology) translated the "Preface of the French Translator" in 1813, (viewed at HathiTrust) [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/loc.ark:/13960/t5bc55t6p?urlappend=%3Bseq=11 pp. iii]-viii, with 4 bibliographical footnotes, only one containing English. <br />
<br />
"The Gray Room: A True Story" must be some version of Die Graue Stube by H. Clauren--whose 2005 translator-editor calls that one the first publication in English, T{{t|1895539}}. Ideally we should also know whether your 1993 text is translated from German or from the 1812 French (JBBE). <br />
<br />
Two publication records for ''The Essential Frankenstein'' in a later edition contain almost no data and identify no sources or ISFDB editors. Both of those list as content "Annotations (The Essential Frankenstein)" by Leonard Wolf T{{t|918991}}, which would not be listed in the printed Contents list. If I find one of these in a library before you reply, I will reply to myself with what I learn from that. --[[User:Pwendt|Pwendt]]|[[User talk:Pwendt|talk]] 17:52, 3 January 2020 (EST)<br />
::Hi, Pwendt<br />
# There is no diacritical mark in the author's name as printed.<br />
# I misspelled it, and Fantasmagoriana is correct in both instances. I'm happy for you to make the edit :-)<br />
# The introductory comment to Appendix B states that it is a translation from the French, but does not give a name nor a date.<br />

I accepted your addition of {{P|768005|The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes}}, but made some changes to match our standards:<br />
*As a non-genre publication, only genre contents or stories by genre authors above the threshold are to be included. I removed contents that are not applicable and add a pub note. In addition to Carnacki's story, I left "Madame Sara" as it is borderline genre (none of the events are but the protagonist has mystical knowledge), "The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railway" as it's been listed in other borderline genre collecctions, and "The Game Played in the Dark" as the rest of the series is listed as genre in the database.<br />
*The information from the copyright page has been moved from the title notes to the pub notes (as it's specific to that publication).<br />
*The publisher has been standardized to Penguin Books.<br />
*The page field should just have the number.<br />

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />
As I said, all very minor, and you're under no obligation to add content records for the art -- I only mention it to be sure you're aware that you can if you'd like. Thanks for contributing! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

::Unmerge and variant submissions were fine, but there's another problem: there are two novel records in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?326251 the publication record]. One will have to be removed. The problem here is that the actual novel contained in the book isn't the same title as the book itself.

:::::::Thanks - looks like I dived in at the deep end!

== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks.

== Time and Timothy Grenville ==<br />
<br />
I've place on hold the submission adding the cover art credit to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?100371 this publication]. It is considered good etiquette on the ISFDB for an editor to notify the primary verifier for any significant changes in a verified publication record. Some editors have placed a preference policy at the top of their talk pages about which changes they wish to be notified. I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks.

<br />
I would not give Nostradamus credit for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?284153 this book], but would note the quotations in the note field. And because you've done a verification of the record, you can remove and previous note that no longer applies to the verified record. For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it?

Hi. I approved your edits to {{P|179437|The Robert E. Howard Omnibus}}. When you modify the listing for a Primary-verified pub, you should leave note on the verifier's talk page (unless there's a note on the page telling you to do otherwise). If you've obtained information from a reliable secondary source and are adding, it's generally ok to edit first, notify after (if you think you've found something in the pub that the primary verifier missed, you should ask first, then edit). I left a note for [[User:Unapersson]] about this submission, so just something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks, --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 01:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

<br />
I accepted the submission adding this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358074 new publication record], but, unless you're working from the book-in-hand, it's necessary that you note the source for your data in the submission's note field.

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks.

There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged.

:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest.

:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help.

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Thongor Against the Gods ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding a submission adding a third printing by Warner Books of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?4895 this title]. There's already a record for the second printing with the same date and ISBN as the one you're creating. The only difference is your price is in British currency. Is this a stickered price or is it printed directly on the book? (It may have the US printing exported to the UK.) Thanks for looking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:47, 19 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It's printed directly on the back cover. There are no other cover prices, only the UK price. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:48, 19 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

::I've accepted the submission. Can you check to see if there's a statement about where the book was printed? Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 18:25, 19 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The back cover has extremely small printing (testing my less than perfect eyesight) saying "Printed in U.S.A.". This is confirmed in clear type on the copyright page. On the title page it states, "Warner Books are distributed in the United Kingdom by Hamlyn Paperbacks," so it looks like it was printed in the US specifically for the UK market.

You want to change the date of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/mod/tv_update.cgi?1725089 this title] to 1976-05-00. What is the source of your date? It seems that this was first published in the Nelson Doubleday omnibus in December 1975. I was unable to find an earlier publication. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]]<br />
<br />
:It's "signed" June, 1975 in the book, but now that you've made me think about it, I realise that this is the date de Camp wrote it, not the date first published. Sorry to put you to any trouble. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 18:09, 19 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:50, 26 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

Please check at the bottom of either the last page of text or the last page and you might find a printing code, like 5-76. Airmont usually put such in later printings, not always, but usually! FYI --[[User:Bluesman|~ Bill, Bluesman]] 23:15, 4 December 2011 (UTC)<br />

:Sorry, Bill, I may have forgotten to change the ISBN from the edition I cloned off. The Tandem edition has ISBN-10: 0426134184; ISBN-13: 9780426134183, according to the Goodreads entry.

:::::Sorry, I don't understand your question. The information I took from Goodreads was taken today as was the page count, ISBN, publication year (I didn't take the day/month as this is 01/January, and I'm suspicious of it). The cover image was taken from the Vault of Evil website (which also confirms the publication year taken from Goodreads), as were the contents, which tallied with those in the publication I cloned from.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided). Our practice is to notify after the fact for additions and to ask in advance about data changes. Some editors will have more specific instructions on their talk pages. If a verifier is not active, "ask in advance" becomes simply notify.... I left a note on [[User:Gloinson]]'s page about the additions to ''The Vultures of Whapeton''. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 14:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

== adding covers to verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one. Adding a cover where there is none seems like a very minor thing, but having the verifier compare does turn up different printings from time to time. I left a note about {{P|45775|The Queen of Swords}}, so just keep it in mind for future cover additions. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 17:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)<br />

You'd like to change the publication date of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?215257 this 12th printing] from 0000-00-00 to 1974-00-00, but the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?293135 9th printing] appeared in 1976, which makes 1974 highly unlikely. OCLC gets its data from participating libraries and then combines duplicate records, so it's probably a data recording or deduplication error of some sort. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:22, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

:: Sounds good, I have rejected the submission. One of the things that I have learned over the years is that different sources have different strengths and weaknesses.

Can you see if the authors of the uncredited stories are explicitly credited to "Anonymous" in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 this anthology]? We try not to use that credit unless it's actually given that way on the story's title page. Thanks for checking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, they are credited to "Anonymous" on the title page of each story. The editor of the book, Peter Haining, notes in his introduction that due to the then "sensational" nature of Gothic fiction, many such stories were published anonymously.

::Sorry, I think I may have linked to the wrong volume of the anthology. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382348 this one] there's a combination of "uncredited" and "anonymous". Can you check this book as well? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::This one's the same - Anonymous in the book, not Uncredited. I did specify this in the mod note when I added it, but as it wasn't altered I just assumed that it was a naming convention I was unaware of. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record. You have to actually update the record in order for it to match your publication. You can remove the records of those stories that don't match and then add new content records. Thanks.

<br />
:::::Oh, right - that seems fair enough :-) I've looked at the editing options for titles and none of them seems quite right for what I need to do. I don't want to change the author to Anonymous in the main story title, as it's associated to other publications where it might actually be Uncredited. Do I create a Variant Title?

== Amazon images ==<br />
<br />
I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title.

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category.

:Hi. Neither book has a list of copyright dates for individual stories, so I would guess that whoever added the story to {{P|381852|this pub}} just took the date for the collection as a whole. In his introduction to the story, Christopher Lee refers to its original publication in <i>Dracula's Guest</i>, and a quick scan of both stories would indicate that they are the same. So, should be OK for you to merge the publications to the earlier date. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 09:11, 19 May 2012 (UTC)<br />

About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5. There is no reference on the cover or in the book stating "Ballantine Books (UK)", however, the first price listed is "U.K. (8/-) 40p". On the back cover, top right hand corner it states "Cover printed in Canada". The copyright page states that the book was printed in Canada and it quotes "BALLANTINE BOOKS, INC." and gives their New York address. Hope this helps :-) .<br />
<br />
::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards. I added the zero to the SBN to create a valid ISBN, and added the "(UK)" to the publisher name. This is standard practice to disambiguate publishers who have the same name. In this case, to make it clear that this was a UK printing by the US publisher. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 18:12, 9 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

== Spelling differences in Dune appendix titles ==<br />
<br />
Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles. The question is: Are these spelling mistakes that were made when the ISFDB titles were created, or do these spelling mistakes actually exist in printed pubs? To clear this up, could you please check the following things in your book?<br />
* What is the spelling of the appendix IV title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}<br />
* What is the spelling of the cartographic notes title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1338986|Cartographic Notes}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514596|Cartographic Notes for Map}}<br />
I need to know the titles as they appear inside the book, but it might also be interesting to know if there are differences in the table of contents (assuming your book has a TOC).

:Hi. The Publishers section of the Wiki Help (http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Publishers) lists Granada and Mayflower separately, though noting that Mayflower was an imprint of Granada for a while.

<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />

== Author of "The Bottle-Imp" ==<br />
<br />
In your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 verified pub] authorship is attributed to Johann Karl August Musäus. It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />

Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />

<br />
In ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 The Captain of the Pole-Star]'' I intend to mark the following stories non-genre: "The Man from Archangel" (synopsis: John McVittie, sick of human company, retires to a small cottage on the shores of Scotland. One day, he rescues a woman from a wrecked ship. Disaster follows after her when a man from the same ship arrives.); "That Little Square Box" (Mr. Hammond, traveling aboard a steamer, overhears two strangers talking about their mechanism that they are going to set in motion that evening, and assumes they mean a bomb. But it turns out they are just testing the abilities of homing pigeons.); "John Huxford's Hiatus" (Young John Huxford left his wife to find work, but was robbed and hit on the head and lost his memory. He made a new life, and only after 50 years did his memory return. He went back to his wife and found that she had been keeping their home exactly the same all those decades in hopes he might turn up.); and "Elias B. Hopkins: The Parson of Jackman's Gulch" (Parson Hopkins tries to get the miners in an Australian settlement to give up blaspheming every time he enters a saloon. His preaching is impressive enough that he is asked to hold a worship service in a saloon's back room one Sunday. But the service is interrupted by criminous events.) Any objections? --[[User:Vasha77|Vasha]] 21:42, 19 November 2017 (EST)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
Hi, You verified and may be our only source for this 1993 edition of ''Frankenstein'' P{{p|326251}}. Concerning its two "Selections from the Fantasmagoria": <br />
*302 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: Preface • essay by J. B. B. Eyries<br />
*305 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: The Gray Room: A True Story • short story by unknown <br />
# Is Eyries thus credited, without the diacritical mark (Eyriès)? This appears to be our only published attribution to JBBE by name.<br />
# Is the spelling Fantasmagoria correct? The 1812 anthology translated by JBBE is <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> T{{t|1895152}}.<br />
# Does the book identify a translator, preferably with a date, for either work? If not, and you choose to compare the Preface texts, Mrs. Utterson (who didn't include The Grey Room in her anthology) translated the "Preface of the French Translator" in 1813, (viewed at HathiTrust) [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/loc.ark:/13960/t5bc55t6p?urlappend=%3Bseq=11 pp. iii]-viii, with 4 bibliographical footnotes, only one containing English. <br />
<br />
"The Gray Room: A True Story" must be some version of Die Graue Stube by H. Clauren--whose 2005 translator-editor calls that one the first publication in English, T{{t|1895539}}. Ideally we should also know whether your 1993 text is translated from German or from the 1812 French (JBBE). <br />
<br />
Two publication records for ''The Essential Frankenstein'' in a later edition contain almost no data and identify no sources or ISFDB editors. Both of those list as content "Annotations (The Essential Frankenstein)" by Leonard Wolf T{{t|918991}}, which would not be listed in the printed Contents list. If I find one of these in a library before you reply, I will reply to myself with what I learn from that. --[[User:Pwendt|Pwendt]]|[[User talk:Pwendt|talk]] 17:52, 3 January 2020 (EST)<br />
::Hi, Pwendt<br />
# There is no diacritical mark in the author's name as printed.<br />
# I misspelled it, and Fantasmagoriana is correct in both instances. I'm happy for you to make the edit :-)<br />
# The introductory comment to Appendix B states that it is a translation from the French, but does not give a name nor a date.<br />
<br />
No, there is no Contents entry for Wolf as annotator, but there is an entry "About Leonard Wolf ... 357" [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:03, 24 February 2020 (EST)<br />
:::The text of the Translator's Preface as given in this work is different to the one shown in your link to the Hathi Trust.

== The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes ==<br />
<br />
I accepted your addition of {{P|768005|The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes}}, but made some changes to match our standards:<br />
*As a non-genre publication, only genre contents or stories by genre authors above the threshold are to be included. I removed contents that are not applicable and add a pub note. In addition to Carnacki's story, I left "Madame Sara" as it is borderline genre (none of the events are but the protagonist has mystical knowledge), "The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railway" as it's been listed in other borderline genre collecctions, and "The Game Played in the Dark" as the rest of the series is listed as genre in the database.<br />
*The information from the copyright page has been moved from the title notes to the pub notes (as it's specific to that publication).<br />
*The publisher has been standardized to Penguin Books.<br />
*The page field should just have the number.<br />

== Jules Verne translations ==<br />
<br />
I have been documenting the various translations of Jules Verne's works and trying to identify a piece of text from each translation so editors can position their publications under the correct title record. You are on record as a primary verifier for one or more publications for which I am looking for text or which are placed under a generic translation title. I would be grateful if you could assist in this by checking your copies, as listed below, and providing the initial text for missing translations or an indication of the translation for those unspecified. These are listed on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Jules_Verne_Translations Jules Verne Translations] wiki. Thank you. ../[[User:Holmesd|Doug H]] 14:33, 10 May 2020 (EDT)<br />

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />
As I said, all very minor, and you're under no obligation to add content records for the art -- I only mention it to be sure you're aware that you can if you'd like. Thanks for contributing! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, Marty. I've added Christopher Bing as INTERIORART, as you suggested, and note your other comments - I'll re-read the editing conventions as well!! [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 20:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
I had to reject your submission to change the author credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?825962 this title record] from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to Mary Shelley. Look at the record and you see that there are two other books published with the full name. Accepting the submission to change this title record would effect all three pubs currently listed under it. Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the feedback - I've submitted an unmerge request for the "Mary Shelley" edition of the work that I have and will see how I get on with making it a variant. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 15:53, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Unmerge and variant submissions were fine, but there's another problem: there are two novel records in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?326251 the publication record]. One will have to be removed. The problem here is that the actual novel contained in the book isn't the same title as the book itself. What is the actual title and credit given on the title page on which the novel begins (page 20)? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:15, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: It's <i>Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus</i> and the editor's note on the text confirms that it is the 1818 edition.<br />
<br />
:::: And the author is credited as "Mary Shelley"? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::: Yes, definitely as Mary Shelley: Book cover, title page and copyright page all give her name in that form. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:46, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::This will take several submissions in order to straighten out, so I'm going to do it myself. Most book entries are not as complicated as this one, so I don't want you think this is typical. In most cases, there's one author, one title without any variants. This is a special case. Thanks for your patience. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:04, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::Thanks - looks like I dived in at the deep end! You've probably noticed that in the contents I gave authorship to the Novel as <i>Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley</i>, which I was going to change to <i>Mary Shelley</i>, as this is obviously how it's given in this particular volume - I was doing the edit rather late at night - but if you would also change that it will save me a job.

<br />
== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks.

:It states on the copyright page that it's printed 2000 and is the third impression.

::The submission was approved before I left the message (otherwise I would not have been able to link to it.)

<br />
:::::: There are two major unresolved questions about printing numbers (that I know of.) First, do we make it a numeric field or a regular free text field? Second, do we capture just the stated printing number (based on an explicit statement in the book or on the number line) or do we also add a field for the "actual printing number" in case the publisher has committed the unforgivable sin known as "printing number reset". And yes, we'll need to move this discussion to the Community Portal. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Time and Timothy Grenville ==<br />
<br />
I've place on hold the submission adding the cover art credit to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?100371 this publication]. It is considered good etiquette on the ISFDB for an editor to notify the primary verifier for any significant changes in a verified publication record. Some editors have placed a preference policy at the top of their talk pages about which changes they wish to be notified. I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:10, 25 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:: It looks like Feibush may have done the hardcover only. I'd let the note through for all the additional prices, but I'm not so sure about the artist - I couldn't find the cover on [http://www.brucepennington.co.uk/ Bruce Pennington's web page] or on [http://www.djabbic.co.uk/BookCover.php?artistID=2 djabbic]. The latter of which reminds me that we really could usefully add a page of cover-image thumbnails to ISFDB. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 16:33, 25 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:::: Thanks! We Mods are so over-worked that we can rarely spare the time to check-up on small issues.

== ''Eschatus'' by Pennington ==<br />
<br />
I would not give Nostradamus credit for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?284153 this book], but would note the quotations in the note field. And because you've done a verification of the record, you can remove and previous note that no longer applies to the verified record. For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it? In this case, I would suggest removing "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." to "Publication date from Locus #212 (July 1978).". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I meant to type "1976-1977", but even so it's slightly odd. It probably relates to the date that Pennington copyrighted the artwork, rather than being the publication date of the book.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I approved your edits to {{P|179437|The Robert E. Howard Omnibus}}. When you modify the listing for a Primary-verified pub, you should leave note on the verifier's talk page (unless there's a note on the page telling you to do otherwise). If you've obtained information from a reliable secondary source and are adding, it's generally ok to edit first, notify after (if you think you've found something in the pub that the primary verifier missed, you should ask first, then edit). I left a note for [[User:Unapersson]] about this submission, so just something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks, --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 01:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Sourcing data ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission adding this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358074 new publication record], but, unless you're working from the book-in-hand, it's necessary that you note the source for your data in the submission's note field. If you're working from the book-in-hand, let the moderators know in the "Note to the Moderator" field that you have the book and will be doing a primary verification of the record.

:Same situation with [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358077 Das Buch Kane]. Please note the source of your data or do a primary verification of the record. I see that you've given the English titles of the novels in this German publication, which I suspect is incorrect. That can be corrected by updating the record and writing over the titles in the content title fields. Also "Kane" is a title series, not a publication series.

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 01:35, 24 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I've no great feelings about it - I was just interpreting the Help topic on length of publications. If this has been debated and a decision made then I'm happy that it should be left as is. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 10:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Notification of a record being primary verified ==<br />
<br />
I saw that you're leaving a moderator note on updated records that you have a copy and have verified the book. In cases where you've already verified the record, there's no need to note that. Moderators are warned when an verified record is being changed. In fact, we're told who verified the record. If we see that the update is from the same editor, we accept it (almost) immediately. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 19:56, 29 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Secondary sources for data elements ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I accepted your submission of the Patrick Woodroffe credit for {{P|114111|Dwellers in the Mirage}}. When you get data from a source other than the book, you should add to the notes, citing the source (so later editors and browsers can tell where it came from). The "moderator notes" are not preserved -- they are just your comments about the submission, to help the moderator. I used the information you provided in the moderator notes to make a note in the publication, and I also notified the verifier, [[User:BLongley]]. Nice find! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:37, 4 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Clare Winger Harris' The Miracle of the Lily ==<br />
<br />
In {{P|323585|this pub}}, you verified {{T|1316607|The Miracle of the Lily}} as a short story (<= 7,500 words). There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged. If it is truly an abridged version, then the date should be changed to the first printing of the abridged version and a note added. Thanks. --[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] 17:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There were other stories in that [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?323585 anthology] that had not been merged with the current ISFDB records because of a couple of typos ("The Mortal Imortal" [sic] and "he Ultimate Ingredient" [sic]). So I went ahead and merged them, correcting the typos. About "The Miracle of the Lily", I believe the two records are for the same version of the story and I'll merge them as a novelette. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::"The Miracle of the Lily" is 20 pages long in {{P|323585|this pub}} - I haven't counted the number of words. Based on the Help page saying that a short story is "Roughly, 20 or fewer pages in a book" I went for that, but if you think it should be a novellete ("Roughly 20 to 50 pages in a book"), I'm easy. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest. The story is 28 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?3412 this publication]. Only 17 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?57834 this publication], and 24 pages in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?5704 this publication] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?209077 this one]. The Help section gives a rough guideline. When other factors outweigh those guidelines, it's better to use them instead. You can also use a word counter that ISFDB editor [[User Talk:Swfritter|Swfritter]] wrote on Google docs, which I've found to be quite reliable. The speadsheet can be found [https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pNquO1xUb3u-rvNJSEkQcaw here]. Be sure to only use the shaded cells and don't modify any other cells.

== "The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson" ==<br />
<br />
: You verified [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?182233 The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson] on 2011-09-18. You claim that the story "Home Sweet Home" lacks a comma in the title. The Google Books snippet view which is malfunctioning as I speak claims the title is "Home, Sweet Home". Will you please doublecheck? What does it say in the table of contents and what does it say on the actual story title page, which I believe is page 408. Thanks. [[User:Zxcvbnm|Zxcvbnm]] 00:45, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help. Grammatically, the comma version would be correct and I think Benson would be grammatical, so I'll be happy to amend the story title accordingly, if that's what you suggest, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Thanks for Checking. We will update that record to match the title page of the story. When you get a chance, please review [[Help:Screen:EditPub#Title_2|Contents Titles]] in the Wiki Help. Our standard is that the 'official' title of a work is whatever is printed on the starting page of the story.. which is page 408 in this case. (We know that a title can appear in the contents, on the title page, and also maybe in an index.. so when there is a difference, the story title page 'wins'). [[User:Kpulliam|Kevin]] 15:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Personally what I do is I enter things from the contents page.. then I check every title page. That helps me find things where the page number is off, or the title changes, or the authors name changes. (In all cases, the actual starting page of the story is the official answer.

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::No, they aren't titled, so "Solomon Kane (map)" seems like the right solution. I will change them both to that, but I don't know how to merge the titles - are you OK to do that?<br />

There's already a record for the second printing with the same date and ISBN as the one you're creating. The only difference is your price is in British currency.

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />

Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided).

Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one.

== ''Great Tales of Terror from Europe and America'' ==<br />
<br />
Can you see if the authors of the uncredited stories are explicitly credited to "Anonymous" in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 this anthology]? We try not to use that credit unless it's actually given that way on the story's title page. Thanks for checking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, they are credited to "Anonymous" on the title page of each story. The editor of the book, Peter Haining, notes in his introduction that due to the then "sensational" nature of Gothic fiction, many such stories were published anonymously. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 21:43, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Thanks for looking. I just wanted to make sure. It appears that other records of this publication incorrectly credit these stories. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:31, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Sorry, I think I may have linked to the wrong volume of the anthology. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382348 this one] there's a combination of "uncredited" and "anonymous". Can you check this book as well? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::This one's the same - Anonymous in the book, not Uncredited. I did specify this in the mod note when I added it, but as it wasn't altered I just assumed that it was a naming convention I was unaware of. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record. You have to actually update the record in order for it to match your publication. You can remove the records of those stories that don't match and then add new content records. Thanks.

<br />
:::::Oh, right - that seems fair enough :-) I've looked at the editing options for titles and none of them seems quite right for what I need to do. I don't want to change the author to Anonymous in the main story title, as it's associated to other publications where it might actually be Uncredited. Do I create a Variant Title? That didn't seem quite right, either. Could you please advise the appropriate steps to take and I will update each record in this publication that needs to be amended. Thanks.

== Amazon images ==<br />
<br />
I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

I know you went through much effort and time to add the contents to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285964 this record].

You could have saved yourself all of this by simply importing the contents from [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285966 this record] (in one submission), and then making adjustments for any differences between the two (in a second one). Which is what I will do. You should always check to see if another record has contents similar to the one you're updating. I'll reject the submission.

== Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion" ==<br />
<br />
I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title. Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 12:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::Sorry it's taken me a little while to attend to this, but I've just submitted edits for the individual letters in {{P|181381|The Howard Collector}} and trust that you will be able to do the merges.

:Hi. Neither book has a list of copyright dates for individual stories, so I would guess that whoever added the story to {{P|381852|this pub}} just took the date for the collection as a whole. In his introduction to the story, Christopher Lee refers to its original publication in <i>Dracula's Guest</i>, and a quick scan of both stories would indicate that they are the same.

<br />
About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5. There is no reference on the cover or in the book stating "Ballantine Books (UK)", however, the first price listed is "U.K. (8/-) 40p". On the back cover, top right hand corner it states "Cover printed in Canada". The copyright page states that the book was printed in Canada and it quotes "BALLANTINE BOOKS, INC." and gives their New York address. Hope this helps :-) .<br />
<br />
::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards. I added the zero to the SBN to create a valid ISBN, and added the "(UK)" to the publisher name. This is standard practice to disambiguate publishers who have the same name.

Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles.

Hi, could you please check the situation with the essays by Vincent Price in this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380904 pub] you verified ? What strikes me as strange is that the variant of the essay is credited to the editor.

Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />

== Author of "The Bottle-Imp" ==<br />
<br />
In your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 verified pub] authorship is attributed to Johann Karl August Musäus. It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

A few queries regarding your verified pub of Mike Ashley's [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?323585 The Dreaming Sex]...<br />
*my copy with the same ISBN and price is clearly tp rather than pb.<br />
*you have the first story 'The Blue Laboratory' as by "L.T. Mead"; my pub has it as by "L.T Meade" (also note the omission of the second period).<br />
*'Good Lady Ducayne' is as by Mary E. Braddon on the page it appears, not Mary Elizabeth Braddon.<br />

I'm going to change the title of an Oliver Onions' story that appears in your verified collection ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?363374 Tales from Beyond the Grave]'' from "IO" to "Io".

== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there's ''Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural'' (verified copies: [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?517709 (1)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289442 (2)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?415777 (3)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?435921 (4)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366609 (5)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?446362 (6)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?577863 (7)]), which contains "A Terribly Strange Bed," "The Three Strangers," "The Most Dangerous Game," "Leiningen Versus the Ants," "A Rose for Emily," "Taboo," and undoubtedly other non-supernatural ones that I'm not noticing at the moment. Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />
* "Taboo" by Geoffrey Household - An eastern European community is terrorized by a series of murders. The mystery is solved, but the terror, and other psychological effects, linger on.

In ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 The Captain of the Pole-Star]'' I intend to mark the following stories non-genre: "The Man from Archangel" (synopsis: John McVittie, sick of human company, retires to a small cottage on the shores of Scotland. One day, he rescues a woman from a wrecked ship. Disaster follows after her when a man from the same ship arrives.); "That Little Square Box" (Mr. Hammond, traveling aboard a steamer, overhears two strangers talking about their mechanism that they are going to set in motion that evening, and assumes they mean a bomb. But it turns out they are just testing the abilities of homing pigeons.); "John Huxford's Hiatus" (Young John Huxford left his wife to find work, but was robbed and hit on the head and lost his memory. He made a new life, and only after 50 years did his memory return. He went back to his wife and found that she had been keeping their home exactly the same all those decades in hopes he might turn up.); and "Elias B. Hopkins: The Parson of Jackman's Gulch" (Parson Hopkins tries to get the miners in an Australian settlement to give up blaspheming every time he enters a saloon. His preaching is impressive enough that he is asked to hold a worship service in a saloon's back room one Sunday. But the service is interrupted by criminous events.) Any objections? --[[User:Vasha77|Vasha]] 21:42, 19 November 2017 (EST)<br />

Hi. You verified the 2001 Bloomsbury publication P{{p|244641}} with Contents that include<br />

Is that, now under that title, identical to the untitled 7-stanza poem sometimes called the dedication (see 1916 instance at HathiTrust [http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015085433129?urlappend=%3Bseq=11 p5] [http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015085433129?urlappend=%3Bseq=17 p11])?<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
Hi, You verified and may be our only source for this 1993 edition of ''Frankenstein'' P{{p|326251}}. Concerning its two "Selections from the Fantasmagoria": <br />
*302 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: Preface • essay by J. B. B. Eyries<br />
*305 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: The Gray Room: A True Story • short story by unknown <br />
# Is Eyries thus credited, without the diacritical mark (Eyriès)? This appears to be our only published attribution to JBBE by name.<br />
# Is the spelling Fantasmagoria correct? The 1812 anthology translated by JBBE is <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> T{{t|1895152}}.<br />
# Does the book identify a translator, preferably with a date, for either work? If not, and you choose to compare the Preface texts, Mrs. Utterson (who didn't include The Grey Room in her anthology) translated the "Preface of the French Translator" in 1813, (viewed at HathiTrust) [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/loc.ark:/13960/t5bc55t6p?urlappend=%3Bseq=11 pp. iii]-viii, with 4 bibliographical footnotes, only one containing English. <br />
<br />
"The Gray Room: A True Story" must be some version of Die Graue Stube by H. Clauren--whose 2005 translator-editor calls that one the first publication in English, T{{t|1895539}}. Ideally we should also know whether your 1993 text is translated from German or from the 1812 French (JBBE). <br />
<br />
Two publication records for ''The Essential Frankenstein'' in a later edition contain almost no data and identify no sources or ISFDB editors. Both of those list as content "Annotations (The Essential Frankenstein)" by Leonard Wolf T{{t|918991}}, which would not be listed in the printed Contents list. If I find one of these in a library before you reply, I will reply to myself with what I learn from that. --[[User:Pwendt|Pwendt]]|[[User talk:Pwendt|talk]] 17:52, 3 January 2020 (EST)<br />

# There is no diacritical mark in the author's name as printed.<br />
# I misspelled it, and Fantasmagoriana is correct in both instances. I'm happy for you to make the edit :-)<br />
# The introductory comment to Appendix B states that it is a translation from the French, but does not give a name nor a date.<br />

<br />
I accepted your addition of {{P|768005|The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes}}, but made some changes to match our standards:<br />
*As a non-genre publication, only genre contents or stories by genre authors above the threshold are to be included. I removed contents that are not applicable and add a pub note. In addition to Carnacki's story, I left "Madame Sara" as it is borderline genre (none of the events are but the protagonist has mystical knowledge), "The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railway" as it's been listed in other borderline genre collecctions, and "The Game Played in the Dark" as the rest of the series is listed as genre in the database.<br />
*The information from the copyright page has been moved from the title notes to the pub notes (as it's specific to that publication).<br />
*The publisher has been standardized to Penguin Books.<br />
*The page field should just have the number.<br />

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />
As I said, all very minor, and you're under no obligation to add content records for the art -- I only mention it to be sure you're aware that you can if you'd like. Thanks for contributing! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
I had to reject your submission to change the author credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?825962 this title record] from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to Mary Shelley. Look at the record and you see that there are two other books published with the full name. Accepting the submission to change this title record would effect all three pubs currently listed under it. Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

::Unmerge and variant submissions were fine, but there's another problem: there are two novel records in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?326251 the publication record].

::::: Yes, definitely as Mary Shelley: Book cover, title page and copyright page all give her name in that form. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:46, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::This will take several submissions in order to straighten out, so I'm going to do it myself. Most book entries are not as complicated as this one, so I don't want you think this is typical.

:::::::Thanks - looks like I dived in at the deep end!

== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks.

I've place on hold the submission adding the cover art credit to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?100371 this publication]. It is considered good etiquette on the ISFDB for an editor to notify the primary verifier for any significant changes in a verified publication record. Some editors have placed a preference policy at the top of their talk pages about which changes they wish to be notified. I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks.

== ''Eschatus'' by Pennington ==<br />
<br />
I would not give Nostradamus credit for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?284153 this book], but would note the quotations in the note field. And because you've done a verification of the record, you can remove and previous note that no longer applies to the verified record. For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it?

::I meant to type "1976-1977", but even so it's slightly odd. It probably relates to the date that Pennington copyrighted the artwork, rather than being the publication date of the book.

Hi. I approved your edits to {{P|179437|The Robert E. Howard Omnibus}}. When you modify the listing for a Primary-verified pub, you should leave note on the verifier's talk page (unless there's a note on the page telling you to do otherwise). If you've obtained information from a reliable secondary source and are adding, it's generally ok to edit first, notify after (if you think you've found something in the pub that the primary verifier missed, you should ask first, then edit).

If you're working from the book-in-hand, let the moderators know in the "Note to the Moderator" field that you have the book and will be doing a primary verification of the record.

:Same situation with [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358077 Das Buch Kane]. Please note the source of your data or do a primary verification of the record. I see that you've given the English titles of the novels in this German publication, which I suspect is incorrect. That can be corrected by updating the record and writing over the titles in the content title fields. Also "Kane" is a title series, not a publication series. Here is a [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_work_with_series help page] that explains the difference in the types of series and how to work with each. Thanks.

== Number Lines ==<br />

I'm afraid that "the number line is simply 10, so I think it's a first printing" for {{P|294669|The Complete Chronicles of Conan: Centenary Edition}} is an incorrect assumption - that's a tenth printing.

== Conan Centenary Edition ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission to change the date in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?294669 this record]. Is the date stated in your copy? Is there a stated printing? I ask because we already have a [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358976 record] for January 2006 edition, and it has a different price than yours. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:36, 16 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 01:35, 24 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

:I've no great feelings about it - I was just interpreting the Help topic on length of publications. If this has been debated and a decision made then I'm happy that it should be left as is. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 10:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Notification of a record being primary verified ==<br />

I saw that you're leaving a moderator note on updated records that you have a copy and have verified the book. In cases where you've already verified the record, there's no need to note that. Moderators are warned when an verified record is being changed. In fact, we're told who verified the record. If we see that the update is from the same editor, we accept it (almost) immediately.

== Clare Winger Harris' The Miracle of the Lily ==<br />
<br />
In {{P|323585|this pub}}, you verified {{T|1316607|The Miracle of the Lily}} as a short story (<= 7,500 words). There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged. If it is truly an abridged version, then the date should be changed to the first printing of the abridged version and a note added. Thanks. --[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] 17:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There were other stories in that [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?323585 anthology] that had not been merged with the current ISFDB records because of a couple of typos ("The Mortal Imortal" [sic] and "he Ultimate Ingredient" [sic]). So I went ahead and merged them, correcting the typos. About "The Miracle of the Lily", I believe the two records are for the same version of the story and I'll merge them as a novelette. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::"The Miracle of the Lily" is 20 pages long in {{P|323585|this pub}} - I haven't counted the number of words. Based on the Help page saying that a short story is "Roughly, 20 or fewer pages in a book" I went for that, but if you think it should be a novellete ("Roughly 20 to 50 pages in a book"), I'm easy. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest. The story is 28 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?3412 this publication]. Only 17 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?57834 this publication], and 24 pages in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?5704 this publication] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?209077 this one]. The Help section gives a rough guideline. When other factors outweigh those guidelines, it's better to use them instead. You can also use a word counter that ISFDB editor [[User Talk:Swfritter|Swfritter]] wrote on Google docs, which I've found to be quite reliable. The speadsheet can be found [https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pNquO1xUb3u-rvNJSEkQcaw here]. Be sure to only use the shaded cells and don't modify any other cells.

<br />
: You verified [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?182233 The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson] on 2011-09-18. You claim that the story "Home Sweet Home" lacks a comma in the title. The Google Books snippet view which is malfunctioning as I speak claims the title is "Home, Sweet Home". Will you please doublecheck? What does it say in the table of contents and what does it say on the actual story title page, which I believe is page 408. Thanks. [[User:Zxcvbnm|Zxcvbnm]] 00:45, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help. Grammatically, the comma version would be correct and I think Benson would be grammatical, so I'll be happy to amend the story title accordingly, if that's what you suggest, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Thanks for Checking. We will update that record to match the title page of the story. When you get a chance, please review [[Help:Screen:EditPub#Title_2|Contents Titles]] in the Wiki Help. Our standard is that the 'official' title of a work is whatever is printed on the starting page of the story.. which is page 408 in this case. (We know that a title can appear in the contents, on the title page, and also maybe in an index.. so when there is a difference, the story title page 'wins'). [[User:Kpulliam|Kevin]] 15:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Personally what I do is I enter things from the contents page.. then I check every title page.

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::No, they aren't titled, so "Solomon Kane (map)" seems like the right solution. I will change them both to that, but I don't know how to merge the titles - are you OK to do that?<br />

There's already a record for the second printing with the same date and ISBN as the one you're creating. The only difference is your price is in British currency.

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks.

Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided).

== adding covers to verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one. Adding a cover where there is none seems like a very minor thing, but having the verifier compare does turn up different printings from time to time. I left a note about {{P|45775|The Queen of Swords}}, so just keep it in mind for future cover additions. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 17:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I do know this, but occasionally forget to leave a message for the verify. Thanks for reminding me and I will try to be more diligent in future. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:40, 19 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== ''The Lady of the Shroud'' ==<br />
<br />
I believe you may have made a double submission for the same book. Please look at the two 1963 Arrow records for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?14559 this title]. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:30, 2 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

:I did intend to add two editions, but managed to add the same one twice! I've added cover images and edited the edition info on the duplicated entry. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 00:47, 2 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Star Trek 8 ==<br />
<br />
You'd like to change the publication date of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?215257 this 12th printing] from 0000-00-00 to 1974-00-00, but the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?293135 9th printing] appeared in 1976, which makes 1974 highly unlikely. OCLC gets its data from participating libraries and then combines duplicate records, so it's probably a data recording or deduplication error of some sort. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:22, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: Good catch - thanks for that. In future, I'll be sure to check the printing information within ISFDB before trusting other sources. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 10:58, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: Sounds good, I have rejected the submission. One of the things that I have learned over the years is that different sources have different strengths and weaknesses. For example, Amazon's page counts are almost invariably wrong, but they have surprisingly good information about publication dates, even for older books from the 1960s and 1970s (especially at Amazon UK.)

Are you certain that your copy of this title is not the same as [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?193705 this record]? Does it state that it's a second printing? (Your submission doesn't make that clear.) Also, if you derive the ISBN from a stated SBN or catalog number you should record that number in the note field and note the source of the ISBN as given in the record (in this case it being a derivation). [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:26, 11 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
:It is a different publication: different year and has an SBN number, whereas the earlier version does not. I will add a note about the derivation of the ISBN. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:59, 11 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Can you see if the authors of the uncredited stories are explicitly credited to "Anonymous" in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 this anthology]? We try not to use that credit unless it's actually given that way on the story's title page. Thanks for checking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, they are credited to "Anonymous" on the title page of each story. The editor of the book, Peter Haining, notes in his introduction that due to the then "sensational" nature of Gothic fiction, many such stories were published anonymously. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 21:43, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

::Thanks for looking. I just wanted to make sure. It appears that other records of this publication incorrectly credit these stories. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:31, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Sorry, I think I may have linked to the wrong volume of the anthology. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382348 this one] there's a combination of "uncredited" and "anonymous". Can you check this book as well? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::This one's the same - Anonymous in the book, not Uncredited. I did specify this in the mod note when I added it, but as it wasn't altered I just assumed that it was a naming convention I was unaware of. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record. You have to actually update the record in order for it to match your publication. You can remove the records of those stories that don't match and then add new content records. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:49, 26 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Oh, right - that seems fair enough :-) I've looked at the editing options for titles and none of them seems quite right for what I need to do. I don't want to change the author to Anonymous in the main story title, as it's associated to other publications where it might actually be Uncredited. Do I create a Variant Title? That didn't seem quite right, either. Could you please advise the appropriate steps to take and I will update each record in this publication that needs to be amended. Thanks.

== Amazon images ==<br />
<br />
I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

I know you went through much effort and time to add the contents to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285964 this record]. I just don't have the time to merge all of the content records with those that are already in the database. You could have saved yourself all of this by simply importing the contents from [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285966 this record] (in one submission), and then making adjustments for any differences between the two (in a second one). Which is what I will do. You should always check to see if another record has contents similar to the one you're updating. I'll reject the submission.

== Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion" ==<br />
<br />
I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title. Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 12:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

::::Sorry it's taken me a little while to attend to this, but I've just submitted edits for the individual letters in {{P|181381|The Howard Collector}} and trust that you will be able to do the merges.

:Hi. Neither book has a list of copyright dates for individual stories, so I would guess that whoever added the story to {{P|381852|this pub}} just took the date for the collection as a whole. In his introduction to the story, Christopher Lee refers to its original publication in <i>Dracula's Guest</i>, and a quick scan of both stories would indicate that they are the same.

About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)<br />

:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5. There is no reference on the cover or in the book stating "Ballantine Books (UK)", however, the first price listed is "U.K. (8/-) 40p". On the back cover, top right hand corner it states "Cover printed in Canada".

::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards.

== Spelling differences in Dune appendix titles ==<br />
<br />
Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles. The question is: Are these spelling mistakes that were made when the ISFDB titles were created, or do these spelling mistakes actually exist in printed pubs? To clear this up, could you please check the following things in your book?<br />
* What is the spelling of the appendix IV title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}<br />
* What is the spelling of the cartographic notes title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1338986|Cartographic Notes}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514596|Cartographic Notes for Map}}<br />

<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />

It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this book]. Just wanted to check that your copy has two small black bars on front cover top left and right (presumably covering the catalogue number and price) and has "Cover printed in Canada" in black box on rear cover (top right). Has statements for first, second and third printings (Aug 1967, Sep 1967, May 1968) and First Canadian printing 1967 with Printed in Canada in bold underneath. I have (initially) verified this based upon the notes. (I haven't replaced the cover with one scanned from my own copy as the difference in brightness/sharpness between the two is minor.)

== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there's ''Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural'' (verified copies: [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?517709 (1)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289442 (2)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?415777 (3)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?435921 (4)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366609 (5)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?446362 (6)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?577863 (7)]), which contains "A Terribly Strange Bed," "The Three Strangers," "The Most Dangerous Game," "Leiningen Versus the Ants," "A Rose for Emily," "Taboo," and undoubtedly other non-supernatural ones that I'm not noticing at the moment. Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />

You have verified a number of Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan books where the notes state there are "Other Prices: UK: £0.95". Is this from a sticker or printed on the cover / interior of the book? My copy has no such notation but I'd be very interested if it were actually printed in the copies. <br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
Hi, You verified and may be our only source for this 1993 edition of ''Frankenstein'' P{{p|326251}}. Concerning its two "Selections from the Fantasmagoria": <br />
*302 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: Preface • essay by J. B. B. Eyries<br />
*305 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: The Gray Room: A True Story • short story by unknown <br />
# Is Eyries thus credited, without the diacritical mark (Eyriès)? This appears to be our only published attribution to JBBE by name.<br />
# Is the spelling Fantasmagoria correct? The 1812 anthology translated by JBBE is <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> T{{t|1895152}}.<br />
# Does the book identify a translator, preferably with a date, for either work? If not, and you choose to compare the Preface texts, Mrs. Utterson (who didn't include The Grey Room in her anthology) translated the "Preface of the French Translator" in 1813, (viewed at HathiTrust) [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/loc.ark:/13960/t5bc55t6p?urlappend=%3Bseq=11 pp. iii]-viii, with 4 bibliographical footnotes, only one containing English. <br />
<br />
"The Gray Room: A True Story" must be some version of Die Graue Stube by H. Clauren--whose 2005 translator-editor calls that one the first publication in English, T{{t|1895539}}. Ideally we should also know whether your 1993 text is translated from German or from the 1812 French (JBBE). <br />
<br />
Two publication records for ''The Essential Frankenstein'' in a later edition contain almost no data and identify no sources or ISFDB editors. Both of those list as content "Annotations (The Essential Frankenstein)" by Leonard Wolf T{{t|918991}}, which would not be listed in the printed Contents list. If I find one of these in a library before you reply, I will reply to myself with what I learn from that. --[[User:Pwendt|Pwendt]]|[[User talk:Pwendt|talk]] 17:52, 3 January 2020 (EST)<br />

# I misspelled it, and Fantasmagoriana is correct in both instances. I'm happy for you to make the edit :-)<br />
# The introductory comment to Appendix B states that it is a translation from the French, but does not give a name nor a date.<br />

I accepted your addition of {{P|768005|The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes}}, but made some changes to match our standards:<br />
*As a non-genre publication, only genre contents or stories by genre authors above the threshold are to be included. I removed contents that are not applicable and add a pub note. In addition to Carnacki's story, I left "Madame Sara" as it is borderline genre (none of the events are but the protagonist has mystical knowledge), "The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railway" as it's been listed in other borderline genre collecctions, and "The Game Played in the Dark" as the rest of the series is listed as genre in the database.<br />
*The information from the copyright page has been moved from the title notes to the pub notes (as it's specific to that publication).<br />
*The publisher has been standardized to Penguin Books.<br />
*The page field should just have the number.<br />

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />
As I said, all very minor, and you're under no obligation to add content records for the art -- I only mention it to be sure you're aware that you can if you'd like. Thanks for contributing! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, Marty. I've added Christopher Bing as INTERIORART, as you suggested, and note your other comments - I'll re-read the editing conventions as well!! [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 20:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
I had to reject your submission to change the author credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?825962 this title record] from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to Mary Shelley. Look at the record and you see that there are two other books published with the full name. Accepting the submission to change this title record would effect all three pubs currently listed under it. Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

::Unmerge and variant submissions were fine, but there's another problem: there are two novel records in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?326251 the publication record].

::: It's <i>Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus</i> and the editor's note on the text confirms that it is the 1818 edition.<br />
<br />
:::: And the author is credited as "Mary Shelley"? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::: Yes, definitely as Mary Shelley: Book cover, title page and copyright page all give her name in that form. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:46, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::This will take several submissions in order to straighten out, so I'm going to do it myself. Most book entries are not as complicated as this one, so I don't want you think this is typical. In most cases, there's one author, one title without any variants. This is a special case. Thanks for your patience. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:04, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::Thanks - looks like I dived in at the deep end!

== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks.

<br />
I've place on hold the submission adding the cover art credit to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?100371 this publication]. It is considered good etiquette on the ISFDB for an editor to notify the primary verifier for any significant changes in a verified publication record. Some editors have placed a preference policy at the top of their talk pages about which changes they wish to be notified. I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks.

<br />
I would not give Nostradamus credit for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?284153 this book], but would note the quotations in the note field. And because you've done a verification of the record, you can remove and previous note that no longer applies to the verified record. For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it? In this case, I would suggest removing "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." to "Publication date from Locus #212 (July 1978).". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I meant to type "1976-1977", but even so it's slightly odd. It probably relates to the date that Pennington copyrighted the artwork, rather than being the publication date of the book. I will leave the Pub date as is and also the note that this data came from Locus. Thanks, again. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 21:57, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I approved your edits to {{P|179437|The Robert E. Howard Omnibus}}. When you modify the listing for a Primary-verified pub, you should leave note on the verifier's talk page (unless there's a note on the page telling you to do otherwise). If you've obtained information from a reliable secondary source and are adding, it's generally ok to edit first, notify after (if you think you've found something in the pub that the primary verifier missed, you should ask first, then edit). I left a note for [[User:Unapersson]] about this submission, so just something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks, --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 01:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Sourcing data ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission adding this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358074 new publication record], but, unless you're working from the book-in-hand, it's necessary that you note the source for your data in the submission's note field. If you're working from the book-in-hand, let the moderators know in the "Note to the Moderator" field that you have the book and will be doing a primary verification of the record. For information on how to do a primary verification, go [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_verify_data here]. Thanks for your cooperation, and thanks for contributing. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:30, 1 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Same situation with [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358077 Das Buch Kane]. Please note the source of your data or do a primary verification of the record. I see that you've given the English titles of the novels in this German publication, which I suspect is incorrect. That can be corrected by updating the record and writing over the titles in the content title fields. Also "Kane" is a title series, not a publication series. Here is a [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_work_with_series help page] that explains the difference in the types of series and how to work with each. Thanks.

== Number Lines ==<br />

== Conan Centenary Edition ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission to change the date in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?294669 this record]. Is the date stated in your copy? Is there a stated printing? I ask because we already have a [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358976 record] for January 2006 edition, and it has a different price than yours. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:36, 16 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: See section above - Nimravus originally tried to edit the January 2006 edition to his, but had misread the number-line. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 17:52, 16 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Look at [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/mod/pv_update.cgi?1662122 the submission]. Ten printings in one year would be extremely high, even for a Conan collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 02:02, 17 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Agreed, especially with a price change. This really is probably an unknown date, as I left it. But the "10th printing" is worth a note. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 08:41, 17 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 01:35, 24 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I've no great feelings about it - I was just interpreting the Help topic on length of publications. If this has been debated and a decision made then I'm happy that it should be left as is. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 10:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Notification of a record being primary verified ==<br />
<br />
I saw that you're leaving a moderator note on updated records that you have a copy and have verified the book. In cases where you've already verified the record, there's no need to note that. Moderators are warned when an verified record is being changed. In fact, we're told who verified the record. If we see that the update is from the same editor, we accept it (almost) immediately.

== Secondary sources for data elements ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I accepted your submission of the Patrick Woodroffe credit for {{P|114111|Dwellers in the Mirage}}. When you get data from a source other than the book, you should add to the notes, citing the source (so later editors and browsers can tell where it came from). The "moderator notes" are not preserved -- they are just your comments about the submission, to help the moderator. I used the information you provided in the moderator notes to make a note in the publication, and I also notified the verifier, [[User:BLongley]].

== Clare Winger Harris' The Miracle of the Lily ==<br />
<br />
In {{P|323585|this pub}}, you verified {{T|1316607|The Miracle of the Lily}} as a short story (<= 7,500 words). There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged. If it is truly an abridged version, then the date should be changed to the first printing of the abridged version and a note added. Thanks. --[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] 17:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There were other stories in that [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?323585 anthology] that had not been merged with the current ISFDB records because of a couple of typos ("The Mortal Imortal" [sic] and "he Ultimate Ingredient" [sic]). So I went ahead and merged them, correcting the typos. About "The Miracle of the Lily", I believe the two records are for the same version of the story and I'll merge them as a novelette. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::"The Miracle of the Lily" is 20 pages long in {{P|323585|this pub}} - I haven't counted the number of words. Based on the Help page saying that a short story is "Roughly, 20 or fewer pages in a book" I went for that, but if you think it should be a novellete ("Roughly 20 to 50 pages in a book"), I'm easy. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest. The story is 28 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?3412 this publication]. Only 17 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?57834 this publication], and 24 pages in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?5704 this publication] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?209077 this one]. The Help section gives a rough guideline. When other factors outweigh those guidelines, it's better to use them instead. You can also use a word counter that ISFDB editor [[User Talk:Swfritter|Swfritter]] wrote on Google docs, which I've found to be quite reliable. The speadsheet can be found [https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pNquO1xUb3u-rvNJSEkQcaw here]. Be sure to only use the shaded cells and don't modify any other cells.

<br />
: You verified [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?182233 The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson] on 2011-09-18. You claim that the story "Home Sweet Home" lacks a comma in the title. The Google Books snippet view which is malfunctioning as I speak claims the title is "Home, Sweet Home". Will you please doublecheck? What does it say in the table of contents and what does it say on the actual story title page, which I believe is page 408. Thanks. [[User:Zxcvbnm|Zxcvbnm]] 00:45, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help. Grammatically, the comma version would be correct and I think Benson would be grammatical, so I'll be happy to amend the story title accordingly, if that's what you suggest, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Thanks for Checking. We will update that record to match the title page of the story. When you get a chance, please review [[Help:Screen:EditPub#Title_2|Contents Titles]] in the Wiki Help. Our standard is that the 'official' title of a work is whatever is printed on the starting page of the story.. which is page 408 in this case. (We know that a title can appear in the contents, on the title page, and also maybe in an index.. so when there is a difference, the story title page 'wins'). [[User:Kpulliam|Kevin]] 15:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

::: Personally what I do is I enter things from the contents page.. then I check every title page.

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks.

When convenient, could you please doublecheck the ISBN for {{P|http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?368089|The King of Elfland's Daughter}}? I have apparently the same May 1978 Fourth printing, but the ISBN on mine is 0-345-27867-4 instead of the listed 0-345-25523-2. Possibly left over from a clone? Thanks.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided). Our practice is to notify after the fact for additions and to ask in advance about data changes. Some editors will have more specific instructions on their talk pages. If a verifier is not active, "ask in advance" becomes simply notify.... I left a note on [[User:Gloinson]]'s page about the additions to ''The Vultures of Whapeton''. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 14:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, Marty - I did know this, but didn't notice that the publication had been verified. Thanks for picking that up for me. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:03, 2 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Ubik ==<br />
<br />
Hi, I have changed pub series to Gollancz SF Masterworks (II) in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?367439 this] verified pub. I know, it's a bit awkward, but new, unnumbered issues as well as reprints go there. Cheers, [[User:P-Brane|P-Brane]] 05:46, 1 February 2012 (UTC).<br />

== adding covers to verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one. Adding a cover where there is none seems like a very minor thing, but having the verifier compare does turn up different printings from time to time. I left a note about {{P|45775|The Queen of Swords}}, so just keep it in mind for future cover additions. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 17:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I do know this, but occasionally forget to leave a message for the verify. Thanks for reminding me and I will try to be more diligent in future. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:40, 19 February 2012 (UTC)<br />

I believe you may have made a double submission for the same book. Please look at the two 1963 Arrow records for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?14559 this title]. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:30, 2 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Star Trek 8 ==<br />
<br />
You'd like to change the publication date of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?215257 this 12th printing] from 0000-00-00 to 1974-00-00, but the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?293135 9th printing] appeared in 1976, which makes 1974 highly unlikely. OCLC gets its data from participating libraries and then combines duplicate records, so it's probably a data recording or deduplication error of some sort. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:22, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: Good catch - thanks for that. In future, I'll be sure to check the printing information within ISFDB before trusting other sources. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 10:58, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: Sounds good, I have rejected the submission. One of the things that I have learned over the years is that different sources have different strengths and weaknesses. For example, Amazon's page counts are almost invariably wrong, but they have surprisingly good information about publication dates, even for older books from the 1960s and 1970s (especially at Amazon UK.)

<br />
Are you certain that your copy of this title is not the same as [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?193705 this record]? Does it state that it's a second printing? (Your submission doesn't make that clear.) Also, if you derive the ISBN from a stated SBN or catalog number you should record that number in the note field and note the source of the ISBN as given in the record (in this case it being a derivation). [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:26, 11 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
:It is a different publication: different year and has an SBN number, whereas the earlier version does not. I will add a note about the derivation of the ISBN. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:59, 11 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Jungle Tales of Tarzan, Novel or Collection? ==<br />
<br />
I'm proposing that we change the title type of ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9691 Jungle Tales of Tarzan]'' from NOVEL to COLLECTION.

== ''Great Tales of Terror from Europe and America'' ==<br />
<br />
Can you see if the authors of the uncredited stories are explicitly credited to "Anonymous" in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 this anthology]? We try not to use that credit unless it's actually given that way on the story's title page. Thanks for checking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, they are credited to "Anonymous" on the title page of each story. The editor of the book, Peter Haining, notes in his introduction that due to the then "sensational" nature of Gothic fiction, many such stories were published anonymously. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 21:43, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Thanks for looking. I just wanted to make sure. It appears that other records of this publication incorrectly credit these stories. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:31, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Sorry, I think I may have linked to the wrong volume of the anthology. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382348 this one] there's a combination of "uncredited" and "anonymous". Can you check this book as well? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::This one's the same - Anonymous in the book, not Uncredited. I did specify this in the mod note when I added it, but as it wasn't altered I just assumed that it was a naming convention I was unaware of. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record. You have to actually update the record in order for it to match your publication. You can remove the records of those stories that don't match and then add new content records. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:49, 26 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Oh, right - that seems fair enough :-) I've looked at the editing options for titles and none of them seems quite right for what I need to do. I don't want to change the author to Anonymous in the main story title, as it's associated to other publications where it might actually be Uncredited. Do I create a Variant Title? That didn't seem quite right, either. Could you please advise the appropriate steps to take and I will update each record in this publication that needs to be amended. Thanks.

== Amazon images ==<br />
<br />
I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Frankenstein Omnibus'' ==<br />
<br />
I know you went through much effort and time to add the contents to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285964 this record]. I just don't have the time to merge all of the content records with those that are already in the database. You could have saved yourself all of this by simply importing the contents from [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285966 this record] (in one submission), and then making adjustments for any differences between the two (in a second one). Which is what I will do. You should always check to see if another record has contents similar to the one you're updating. I'll reject the submission.

== Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion" ==<br />
<br />
I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title. Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 12:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::Sorry it's taken me a little while to attend to this, but I've just submitted edits for the individual letters in {{P|181381|The Howard Collector}} and trust that you will be able to do the merges.

:Hi. Neither book has a list of copyright dates for individual stories, so I would guess that whoever added the story to {{P|381852|this pub}} just took the date for the collection as a whole. In his introduction to the story, Christopher Lee refers to its original publication in <i>Dracula's Guest</i>, and a quick scan of both stories would indicate that they are the same.

About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5. There is no reference on the cover or in the book stating "Ballantine Books (UK)", however, the first price listed is "U.K. (8/-) 40p". On the back cover, top right hand corner it states "Cover printed in Canada". The copyright page states that the book was printed in Canada and it quotes "BALLANTINE BOOKS, INC." and gives their New York address. Hope this helps :-) .<br />
<br />
::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards. I added the zero to the SBN to create a valid ISBN, and added the "(UK)" to the publisher name. This is standard practice to disambiguate publishers who have the same name. In this case, to make it clear that this was a UK printing by the US publisher. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 18:12, 9 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
You verified this pub, and the first verifier is no longer active, so I'm asking you - again. Sorry to be a pest. There is a letter to August Derleth on p. 184 that contains an untitled poem. I would like to know if that poem appears on p. 184 or 185. I'm merging Howard's poems, and will enter that poem in the contents for <i>The Howard Collector</i> so I can merge that pub with the others containing the same poem. Thanks for your help!

== Spelling differences in Dune appendix titles ==<br />
<br />
Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles. The question is: Are these spelling mistakes that were made when the ISFDB titles were created, or do these spelling mistakes actually exist in printed pubs? To clear this up, could you please check the following things in your book?<br />
* What is the spelling of the appendix IV title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}<br />
* What is the spelling of the cartographic notes title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1338986|Cartographic Notes}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514596|Cartographic Notes for Map}}<br />
I need to know the titles as they appear inside the book, but it might also be interesting to know if there are differences in the table of contents (assuming your book has a TOC). Thanks for your time, Patrick -- [[User:Herzbube|Herzbube]] <sup>[[User talk:Herzbube|Talk]]</sup> 19:43, 28 October 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] has already approved my edit for the appendix IV title, and the title records in question have been merged. The cartographic notes titles are still unmerged. Please let me know if you do not agree with what happened. I will continue to monitor your talk page for a few days more for your response, afterwards please write directly to my talk page.

:::Hi - I don't know if you still need this info, but just in case you do, the spelling of Appendix IV in my copy is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}} on the Contents page, but the appendix title on page 486 is the variant {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}.

:::: Thanks for checking, and sorry for my own late reply. After such a long time I had to double-check, and it looks as if all pub/title records now match reality. If you feel generous :-) you could add a note to your pub record that explains that the Contents page has a different spelling (a similar note exists in {{P|87958|this pub}}), but I don't think that it's really necessary.

::::Hi, Bob. You're right in that there is no specific author attribution for the Introduction starting on page 99. Both Glenn Lord and Darrell C.

== Verne's ''Twenty Thousand Leagues...'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

== ''The Memoirs of a Survivor'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />
<br />
If you do have a copy, please do a primary verification of the record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 09:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)<br />

:Hi. You're right, I missed the edit on the date. I've corrected it to 1976. This is actually stated on the copyright page, so I'm not sure why I went to World Cat for it. I've removed that ref from the publication notes. I note what you say about best practice re cloning. Thanks for the pointers :-) [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 11:21, 8 March 2015 (UTC)<br />

== Author of "The Bottle-Imp" ==<br />
<br />
In your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 verified pub] authorship is attributed to Johann Karl August Musäus. It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there's ''Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural'' (verified copies: [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?517709 (1)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289442 (2)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?415777 (3)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?435921 (4)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366609 (5)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?446362 (6)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?577863 (7)]), which contains "A Terribly Strange Bed," "The Three Strangers," "The Most Dangerous Game," "Leiningen Versus the Ants," "A Rose for Emily," "Taboo," and undoubtedly other non-supernatural ones that I'm not noticing at the moment. Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />

== nongenre stories in The Captain of the Pole-Star ==<br />
<br />
In ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 The Captain of the Pole-Star]'' I intend to mark the following stories non-genre: "The Man from Archangel" (synopsis: John McVittie, sick of human company, retires to a small cottage on the shores of Scotland. One day, he rescues a woman from a wrecked ship. Disaster follows after her when a man from the same ship arrives.); "That Little Square Box" (Mr. Hammond, traveling aboard a steamer, overhears two strangers talking about their mechanism that they are going to set in motion that evening, and assumes they mean a bomb. But it turns out they are just testing the abilities of homing pigeons.); "John Huxford's Hiatus" (Young John Huxford left his wife to find work, but was robbed and hit on the head and lost his memory. He made a new life, and only after 50 years did his memory return. He went back to his wife and found that she had been keeping their home exactly the same all those decades in hopes he might turn up.); and "Elias B. Hopkins: The Parson of Jackman's Gulch" (Parson Hopkins tries to get the miners in an Australian settlement to give up blaspheming every time he enters a saloon. His preaching is impressive enough that he is asked to hold a worship service in a saloon's back room one Sunday. But the service is interrupted by criminous events.) Any objections? --[[User:Vasha77|Vasha]] 21:42, 19 November 2017 (EST)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
Hi, You verified and may be our only source for this 1993 edition of ''Frankenstein'' P{{p|326251}}. Concerning its two "Selections from the Fantasmagoria": <br />
*302 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: Preface • essay by J. B. B. Eyries<br />
*305 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: The Gray Room: A True Story • short story by unknown <br />
# Is Eyries thus credited, without the diacritical mark (Eyriès)? This appears to be our only published attribution to JBBE by name.<br />
# Is the spelling Fantasmagoria correct? The 1812 anthology translated by JBBE is <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> T{{t|1895152}}.<br />
# Does the book identify a translator, preferably with a date, for either work? If not, and you choose to compare the Preface texts, Mrs. Utterson (who didn't include The Grey Room in her anthology) translated the "Preface of the French Translator" in 1813, (viewed at HathiTrust) [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/loc.ark:/13960/t5bc55t6p?urlappend=%3Bseq=11 pp. iii]-viii, with 4 bibliographical footnotes, only one containing English. <br />
<br />
"The Gray Room: A True Story" must be some version of Die Graue Stube by H. Clauren--whose 2005 translator-editor calls that one the first publication in English, T{{t|1895539}}. Ideally we should also know whether your 1993 text is translated from German or from the 1812 French (JBBE). <br />
<br />
Two publication records for ''The Essential Frankenstein'' in a later edition contain almost no data and identify no sources or ISFDB editors. Both of those list as content "Annotations (The Essential Frankenstein)" by Leonard Wolf T{{t|918991}}, which would not be listed in the printed Contents list. If I find one of these in a library before you reply, I will reply to myself with what I learn from that. --[[User:Pwendt|Pwendt]]|[[User talk:Pwendt|talk]] 17:52, 3 January 2020 (EST)<br />

# The introductory comment to Appendix B states that it is a translation from the French, but does not give a name nor a date.<br />

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />
As I said, all very minor, and you're under no obligation to add content records for the art -- I only mention it to be sure you're aware that you can if you'd like. Thanks for contributing! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, Marty. I've added Christopher Bing as INTERIORART, as you suggested, and note your other comments - I'll re-read the editing conventions as well!! [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 20:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
I had to reject your submission to change the author credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?825962 this title record] from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to Mary Shelley. Look at the record and you see that there are two other books published with the full name. Accepting the submission to change this title record would effect all three pubs currently listed under it. Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

::Unmerge and variant submissions were fine, but there's another problem: there are two novel records in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?326251 the publication record].

:::: And the author is credited as "Mary Shelley"? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

::::::This will take several submissions in order to straighten out, so I'm going to do it myself. Most book entries are not as complicated as this one, so I don't want you think this is typical.

== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks.

It is considered good etiquette on the ISFDB for an editor to notify the primary verifier for any significant changes in a verified publication record. Some editors have placed a preference policy at the top of their talk pages about which changes they wish to be notified. I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks.

<br />
:: It looks like Feibush may have done the hardcover only. I'd let the note through for all the additional prices, but I'm not so sure about the artist - I couldn't find the cover on [http://www.brucepennington.co.uk/ Bruce Pennington's web page] or on [http://www.djabbic.co.uk/BookCover.php?artistID=2 djabbic]. The latter of which reminds me that we really could usefully add a page of cover-image thumbnails to ISFDB. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 16:33, 25 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''Eschatus'' by Pennington ==<br />
<br />
I would not give Nostradamus credit for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?284153 this book], but would note the quotations in the note field. And because you've done a verification of the record, you can remove and previous note that no longer applies to the verified record. For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it? In this case, I would suggest removing "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." to "Publication date from Locus #212 (July 1978).". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I meant to type "1976-1977", but even so it's slightly odd. It probably relates to the date that Pennington copyrighted the artwork, rather than being the publication date of the book.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I approved your edits to {{P|179437|The Robert E. Howard Omnibus}}. When you modify the listing for a Primary-verified pub, you should leave note on the verifier's talk page (unless there's a note on the page telling you to do otherwise). If you've obtained information from a reliable secondary source and are adding, it's generally ok to edit first, notify after (if you think you've found something in the pub that the primary verifier missed, you should ask first, then edit). I left a note for [[User:Unapersson]] about this submission, so just something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks, --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 01:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Sourcing data ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission adding this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358074 new publication record], but, unless you're working from the book-in-hand, it's necessary that you note the source for your data in the submission's note field. If you're working from the book-in-hand, let the moderators know in the "Note to the Moderator" field that you have the book and will be doing a primary verification of the record. For information on how to do a primary verification, go [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_verify_data here]. Thanks for your cooperation, and thanks for contributing.

<br />
:Same situation with [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358077 Das Buch Kane]. Please note the source of your data or do a primary verification of the record. I see that you've given the English titles of the novels in this German publication, which I suspect is incorrect. That can be corrected by updating the record and writing over the titles in the content title fields. Also "Kane" is a title series, not a publication series. Here is a [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_work_with_series help page] that explains the difference in the types of series and how to work with each. Thanks.

I'm holding the submission to change the date in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?294669 this record]. Is the date stated in your copy? Is there a stated printing?

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 01:35, 24 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

:I've no great feelings about it - I was just interpreting the Help topic on length of publications. If this has been debated and a decision made then I'm happy that it should be left as is. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 10:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Notification of a record being primary verified ==<br />

I saw that you're leaving a moderator note on updated records that you have a copy and have verified the book. In cases where you've already verified the record, there's no need to note that. Moderators are warned when an verified record is being changed. In fact, we're told who verified the record. If we see that the update is from the same editor, we accept it (almost) immediately.

The "moderator notes" are not preserved -- they are just your comments about the submission, to help the moderator. I used the information you provided in the moderator notes to make a note in the publication, and I also notified the verifier, [[User:BLongley]].

<br />
In {{P|323585|this pub}}, you verified {{T|1316607|The Miracle of the Lily}} as a short story (<= 7,500 words). There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged. If it is truly an abridged version, then the date should be changed to the first printing of the abridged version and a note added. Thanks. --[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] 17:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There were other stories in that [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?323585 anthology] that had not been merged with the current ISFDB records because of a couple of typos ("The Mortal Imortal" [sic] and "he Ultimate Ingredient" [sic]). So I went ahead and merged them, correcting the typos. About "The Miracle of the Lily", I believe the two records are for the same version of the story and I'll merge them as a novelette. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::"The Miracle of the Lily" is 20 pages long in {{P|323585|this pub}} - I haven't counted the number of words. Based on the Help page saying that a short story is "Roughly, 20 or fewer pages in a book" I went for that, but if you think it should be a novellete ("Roughly 20 to 50 pages in a book"), I'm easy. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest. The story is 28 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?3412 this publication]. Only 17 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?57834 this publication], and 24 pages in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?5704 this publication] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?209077 this one]. The Help section gives a rough guideline. When other factors outweigh those guidelines, it's better to use them instead. You can also use a word counter that ISFDB editor [[User Talk:Swfritter|Swfritter]] wrote on Google docs, which I've found to be quite reliable. The speadsheet can be found [https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pNquO1xUb3u-rvNJSEkQcaw here]. Be sure to only use the shaded cells and don't modify any other cells.

: You verified [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?182233 The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson] on 2011-09-18. You claim that the story "Home Sweet Home" lacks a comma in the title. The Google Books snippet view which is malfunctioning as I speak claims the title is "Home, Sweet Home". Will you please doublecheck? What does it say in the table of contents and what does it say on the actual story title page, which I believe is page 408. Thanks. [[User:Zxcvbnm|Zxcvbnm]] 00:45, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help. Grammatically, the comma version would be correct and I think Benson would be grammatical, so I'll be happy to amend the story title accordingly, if that's what you suggest, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Thanks for Checking. We will update that record to match the title page of the story. When you get a chance, please review [[Help:Screen:EditPub#Title_2|Contents Titles]] in the Wiki Help. Our standard is that the 'official' title of a work is whatever is printed on the starting page of the story.. which is page 408 in this case.

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks.

:::::Sorry, I don't understand your question. The information I took from Goodreads was taken today as was the page count, ISBN, publication year (I didn't take the day/month as this is 01/January, and I'm suspicious of it). The cover image was taken from the Vault of Evil website (which also confirms the publication year taken from Goodreads), as were the contents, which tallied with those in the publication I cloned from.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided). Our practice is to notify after the fact for additions and to ask in advance about data changes. Some editors will have more specific instructions on their talk pages. If a verifier is not active, "ask in advance" becomes simply notify.... I left a note on [[User:Gloinson]]'s page about the additions to ''The Vultures of Whapeton''. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 14:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

== adding covers to verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one. Adding a cover where there is none seems like a very minor thing, but having the verifier compare does turn up different printings from time to time. I left a note about {{P|45775|The Queen of Swords}}, so just keep it in mind for future cover additions. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 17:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Star Trek 8 ==<br />
<br />
You'd like to change the publication date of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?215257 this 12th printing] from 0000-00-00 to 1974-00-00, but the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?293135 9th printing] appeared in 1976, which makes 1974 highly unlikely. OCLC gets its data from participating libraries and then combines duplicate records, so it's probably a data recording or deduplication error of some sort. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:22, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: Good catch - thanks for that. In future, I'll be sure to check the printing information within ISFDB before trusting other sources. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 10:58, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: Sounds good, I have rejected the submission. One of the things that I have learned over the years is that different sources have different strengths and weaknesses. For example, Amazon's page counts are almost invariably wrong, but they have surprisingly good information about publication dates, even for older books from the 1960s and 1970s (especially at Amazon UK.)

Are you certain that your copy of this title is not the same as [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?193705 this record]? Does it state that it's a second printing? (Your submission doesn't make that clear.) Also, if you derive the ISBN from a stated SBN or catalog number you should record that number in the note field and note the source of the ISBN as given in the record (in this case it being a derivation). [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:26, 11 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
:It is a different publication: different year and has an SBN number, whereas the earlier version does not. I will add a note about the derivation of the ISBN. Thanks. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:59, 11 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

== ''Great Tales of Terror from Europe and America'' ==<br />
<br />
Can you see if the authors of the uncredited stories are explicitly credited to "Anonymous" in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 this anthology]? We try not to use that credit unless it's actually given that way on the story's title page. Thanks for checking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, they are credited to "Anonymous" on the title page of each story. The editor of the book, Peter Haining, notes in his introduction that due to the then "sensational" nature of Gothic fiction, many such stories were published anonymously. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 21:43, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Thanks for looking. I just wanted to make sure. It appears that other records of this publication incorrectly credit these stories. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:31, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Sorry, I think I may have linked to the wrong volume of the anthology. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382348 this one] there's a combination of "uncredited" and "anonymous". Can you check this book as well? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::This one's the same - Anonymous in the book, not Uncredited. I did specify this in the mod note when I added it, but as it wasn't altered I just assumed that it was a naming convention I was unaware of. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record. You have to actually update the record in order for it to match your publication. You can remove the records of those stories that don't match and then add new content records. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:49, 26 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Oh, right - that seems fair enough :-) I've looked at the editing options for titles and none of them seems quite right for what I need to do. I don't want to change the author to Anonymous in the main story title, as it's associated to other publications where it might actually be Uncredited. Do I create a Variant Title? That didn't seem quite right, either. Could you please advise the appropriate steps to take and I will update each record in this publication that needs to be amended. Thanks.

== Amazon images ==<br />
<br />
I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

I know you went through much effort and time to add the contents to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285964 this record]. I just don't have the time to merge all of the content records with those that are already in the database. You could have saved yourself all of this by simply importing the contents from [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285966 this record] (in one submission), and then making adjustments for any differences between the two (in a second one). Which is what I will do. You should always check to see if another record has contents similar to the one you're updating. I'll reject the submission.

<br />
I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title. Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 12:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

:Hi. Neither book has a list of copyright dates for individual stories, so I would guess that whoever added the story to {{P|381852|this pub}} just took the date for the collection as a whole.

<br />
About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks.

:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5.

The copyright page states that the book was printed in Canada and it quotes "BALLANTINE BOOKS, INC." and gives their New York address. Hope this helps :-) .<br />

::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards. I added the zero to the SBN to create a valid ISBN, and added the "(UK)" to the publisher name. This is standard practice to disambiguate publishers who have the same name. In this case, to make it clear that this was a UK printing by the US publisher. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 18:12, 9 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

== Variant of the poem "Solomon Kane's Homecoming" ==<br />

Could you check how the title page in Howard's ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381 The Howard Collector]'' lists the title of the variant of the poem "Solomon Kane's Homecoming" on its title page? In a different collection it is listed simply as "Solomon Kane's Homecoming (Variant)" and I'm trying to determine whether it is ever presented with the title "Solomon Kane's Homecoming (variant version)". If so, I'll try to get the variant titles set up correctly. Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 00:17, 7 September 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Spelling differences in Dune appendix titles ==<br />
<br />
Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles. The question is: Are these spelling mistakes that were made when the ISFDB titles were created, or do these spelling mistakes actually exist in printed pubs? To clear this up, could you please check the following things in your book?<br />
* What is the spelling of the appendix IV title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}<br />
* What is the spelling of the cartographic notes title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1338986|Cartographic Notes}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514596|Cartographic Notes for Map}}<br />
I need to know the titles as they appear inside the book, but it might also be interesting to know if there are differences in the table of contents (assuming your book has a TOC). Thanks for your time, Patrick -- [[User:Herzbube|Herzbube]] <sup>[[User talk:Herzbube|Talk]]</sup> 19:43, 28 October 2012 (UTC)<br />

:::Hi - I don't know if you still need this info, but just in case you do, the spelling of Appendix IV in my copy is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}} on the Contents page, but the appendix title on page 486 is the variant {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}.

:::: Thanks for checking, and sorry for my own late reply. After such a long time I had to double-check, and it looks as if all pub/title records now match reality. If you feel generous :-) you could add a note to your pub record that explains that the Contents page has a different spelling (a similar note exists in {{P|87958|this pub}}), but I don't think that it's really necessary.

Hello, I've put your submission on hold to clone this title as it seems to me to be the same book as [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?302292 this already existing one], can you confirm that yours is indeed another printing ? Thanks. [[User:Hauck|Hauck]] 12:56, 31 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi - the other record in the Database for the 1976 edition states that it is the second printing. My copy states as follows: "First British edition published 1976 by Pan Books Limited". There is no statement that it is the second printing, nor any number line from which one might deduce it to be a subsequent printing. On that basis I've taken it to be the first printing. Hope this helps :-) Regards [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 13:02, 31 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Verne's ''Twenty Thousand Leagues...'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

== ''The Memoirs of a Survivor'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />
<br />
If you do have a copy, please do a primary verification of the record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 09:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)<br />

:Hi. You're right, I missed the edit on the date. I've corrected it to 1976. This is actually stated on the copyright page, so I'm not sure why I went to World Cat for it.

== Author of "The Bottle-Imp" ==<br />
<br />
In your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 verified pub] authorship is attributed to Johann Karl August Musäus. It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there's ''Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural'' (verified copies: [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?517709 (1)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289442 (2)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?415777 (3)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?435921 (4)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366609 (5)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?446362 (6)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?577863 (7)]), which contains "A Terribly Strange Bed," "The Three Strangers," "The Most Dangerous Game," "Leiningen Versus the Ants," "A Rose for Emily," "Taboo," and undoubtedly other non-supernatural ones that I'm not noticing at the moment. Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />

== nongenre stories in The Captain of the Pole-Star ==<br />
<br />
In ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 The Captain of the Pole-Star]'' I intend to mark the following stories non-genre: "The Man from Archangel" (synopsis: John McVittie, sick of human company, retires to a small cottage on the shores of Scotland. One day, he rescues a woman from a wrecked ship. Disaster follows after her when a man from the same ship arrives.); "That Little Square Box" (Mr. Hammond, traveling aboard a steamer, overhears two strangers talking about their mechanism that they are going to set in motion that evening, and assumes they mean a bomb. But it turns out they are just testing the abilities of homing pigeons.); "John Huxford's Hiatus" (Young John Huxford left his wife to find work, but was robbed and hit on the head and lost his memory. He made a new life, and only after 50 years did his memory return. He went back to his wife and found that she had been keeping their home exactly the same all those decades in hopes he might turn up.); and "Elias B. Hopkins: The Parson of Jackman's Gulch" (Parson Hopkins tries to get the miners in an Australian settlement to give up blaspheming every time he enters a saloon. His preaching is impressive enough that he is asked to hold a worship service in a saloon's back room one Sunday. But the service is interrupted by criminous events.) Any objections? --[[User:Vasha77|Vasha]] 21:42, 19 November 2017 (EST)<br />

You have verified a number of Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan books where the notes state there are "Other Prices: UK: £0.95". Is this from a sticker or printed on the cover / interior of the book? My copy has no such notation but I'd be very interested if it were actually printed in the copies. <br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
Hi, You verified and may be our only source for this 1993 edition of ''Frankenstein'' P{{p|326251}}. Concerning its two "Selections from the Fantasmagoria": <br />
*302 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: Preface • essay by J. B. B. Eyries<br />
*305 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: The Gray Room: A True Story • short story by unknown <br />
# Is Eyries thus credited, without the diacritical mark (Eyriès)? This appears to be our only published attribution to JBBE by name.<br />
# Is the spelling Fantasmagoria correct? The 1812 anthology translated by JBBE is <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> T{{t|1895152}}.<br />
# Does the book identify a translator, preferably with a date, for either work? If not, and you choose to compare the Preface texts, Mrs. Utterson (who didn't include The Grey Room in her anthology) translated the "Preface of the French Translator" in 1813, (viewed at HathiTrust) [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/loc.ark:/13960/t5bc55t6p?urlappend=%3Bseq=11 pp. iii]-viii, with 4 bibliographical footnotes, only one containing English. <br />
<br />
"The Gray Room: A True Story" must be some version of Die Graue Stube by H. Clauren--whose 2005 translator-editor calls that one the first publication in English, T{{t|1895539}}. Ideally we should also know whether your 1993 text is translated from German or from the 1812 French (JBBE). <br />
<br />
Two publication records for ''The Essential Frankenstein'' in a later edition contain almost no data and identify no sources or ISFDB editors. Both of those list as content "Annotations (The Essential Frankenstein)" by Leonard Wolf T{{t|918991}}, which would not be listed in the printed Contents list. If I find one of these in a library before you reply, I will reply to myself with what I learn from that. --[[User:Pwendt|Pwendt]]|[[User talk:Pwendt|talk]] 17:52, 3 January 2020 (EST)<br />

# I misspelled it, and Fantasmagoriana is correct in both instances. I'm happy for you to make the edit :-)<br />
# The introductory comment to Appendix B states that it is a translation from the French, but does not give a name nor a date.<br />

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />
As I said, all very minor, and you're under no obligation to add content records for the art -- I only mention it to be sure you're aware that you can if you'd like. Thanks for contributing! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, Marty. I've added Christopher Bing as INTERIORART, as you suggested, and note your other comments - I'll re-read the editing conventions as well!! [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 20:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
I had to reject your submission to change the author credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?825962 this title record] from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to Mary Shelley. Look at the record and you see that there are two other books published with the full name. Accepting the submission to change this title record would effect all three pubs currently listed under it. Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

::Unmerge and variant submissions were fine, but there's another problem: there are two novel records in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?326251 the publication record].

<br />
:::: And the author is credited as "Mary Shelley"? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks.

I've place on hold the submission adding the cover art credit to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?100371 this publication]. It is considered good etiquette on the ISFDB for an editor to notify the primary verifier for any significant changes in a verified publication record. Some editors have placed a preference policy at the top of their talk pages about which changes they wish to be notified. I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks.

== ''Eschatus'' by Pennington ==<br />
<br />
I would not give Nostradamus credit for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?284153 this book], but would note the quotations in the note field. And because you've done a verification of the record, you can remove and previous note that no longer applies to the verified record. For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it?

Hi. I approved your edits to {{P|179437|The Robert E. Howard Omnibus}}. When you modify the listing for a Primary-verified pub, you should leave note on the verifier's talk page (unless there's a note on the page telling you to do otherwise). If you've obtained information from a reliable secondary source and are adding, it's generally ok to edit first, notify after (if you think you've found something in the pub that the primary verifier missed, you should ask first, then edit).

I accepted the submission adding this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358074 new publication record], but, unless you're working from the book-in-hand, it's necessary that you note the source for your data in the submission's note field.

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks.

There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged. If it is truly an abridged version, then the date should be changed to the first printing of the abridged version and a note added.

:There were other stories in that [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?323585 anthology] that had not been merged with the current ISFDB records because of a couple of typos ("The Mortal Imortal" [sic] and "he Ultimate Ingredient" [sic]).

[[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest.

The Help section gives a rough guideline. When other factors outweigh those guidelines, it's better to use them instead.

:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help. Grammatically, the comma version would be correct and I think Benson would be grammatical, so I'll be happy to amend the story title accordingly, if that's what you suggest, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

<br />
You want to change the date of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/mod/tv_update.cgi?1725089 this title] to 1976-05-00. What is the source of your date? It seems that this was first published in the Nelson Doubleday omnibus in December 1975. I was unable to find an earlier publication. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]]<br />
<br />
:It's "signed" June, 1975 in the book, but now that you've made me think about it, I realise that this is the date de Camp wrote it, not the date first published. Sorry to put you to any trouble. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 18:09, 19 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:50, 26 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

Please check at the bottom of either the last page of text or the last page and you might find a printing code, like 5-76. Airmont usually put such in later printings, not always, but usually! FYI --[[User:Bluesman|~ Bill, Bluesman]] 23:15, 4 December 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided). Our practice is to notify after the fact for additions and to ask in advance about data changes. Some editors will have more specific instructions on their talk pages. If a verifier is not active, "ask in advance" becomes simply notify.... I left a note on [[User:Gloinson]]'s page about the additions to ''The Vultures of Whapeton''. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 14:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

== adding covers to verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one. Adding a cover where there is none seems like a very minor thing, but having the verifier compare does turn up different printings from time to time. I left a note about {{P|45775|The Queen of Swords}}, so just keep it in mind for future cover additions. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 17:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)<br />

You'd like to change the publication date of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?215257 this 12th printing] from 0000-00-00 to 1974-00-00, but the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?293135 9th printing] appeared in 1976, which makes 1974 highly unlikely. OCLC gets its data from participating libraries and then combines duplicate records, so it's probably a data recording or deduplication error of some sort. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:22, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:: Sounds good, I have rejected the submission. One of the things that I have learned over the years is that different sources have different strengths and weaknesses.

Can you see if the authors of the uncredited stories are explicitly credited to "Anonymous" in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 this anthology]? We try not to use that credit unless it's actually given that way on the story's title page. Thanks for checking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, they are credited to "Anonymous" on the title page of each story. The editor of the book, Peter Haining, notes in his introduction that due to the then "sensational" nature of Gothic fiction, many such stories were published anonymously.

::Sorry, I think I may have linked to the wrong volume of the anthology. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382348 this one] there's a combination of "uncredited" and "anonymous". Can you check this book as well? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::This one's the same - Anonymous in the book, not Uncredited. I did specify this in the mod note when I added it, but as it wasn't altered I just assumed that it was a naming convention I was unaware of. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record. You have to actually update the record in order for it to match your publication. You can remove the records of those stories that don't match and then add new content records. Thanks.

<br />
:::::Oh, right - that seems fair enough :-) I've looked at the editing options for titles and none of them seems quite right for what I need to do. I don't want to change the author to Anonymous in the main story title, as it's associated to other publications where it might actually be Uncredited. Do I create a Variant Title?

== Amazon images ==<br />
<br />
I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title.

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category.

<br />
I think I have the same edition as [[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?362273 this]] but there is no statement on the copyright page about additional words added and a quick comparison to the '64 Ballantine shows the two editions to be the same text.

:Hi Bill. My edition definitely states on the copyright page that it has an extra 21,000 words. I note from the Bibliography page for this work that there is this note: <i>Expanded from a novella first published as a three-part serial in All-Story, starting on June 30, 1917.</i> I'd guess that the copyright statement refers to its original publication in magazine serial form.

== ''Mistress of Mistresses'' ==<br />
<br />
About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5. There is no reference on the cover or in the book stating "Ballantine Books (UK)", however, the first price listed is "U.K. (8/-) 40p". On the back cover, top right hand corner it states "Cover printed in Canada". The copyright page states that the book was printed in Canada and it quotes "BALLANTINE BOOKS, INC." and gives their New York address. Hope this helps :-) .<br />
<br />
::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards. I added the zero to the SBN to create a valid ISBN, and added the "(UK)" to the publisher name. This is standard practice to disambiguate publishers who have the same name. In this case, to make it clear that this was a UK printing by the US publisher. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 18:12, 9 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

== Spelling differences in Dune appendix titles ==<br />
<br />
Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles. The question is: Are these spelling mistakes that were made when the ISFDB titles were created, or do these spelling mistakes actually exist in printed pubs? To clear this up, could you please check the following things in your book?<br />
* What is the spelling of the appendix IV title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}<br />
* What is the spelling of the cartographic notes title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1338986|Cartographic Notes}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514596|Cartographic Notes for Map}}<br />
I need to know the titles as they appear inside the book, but it might also be interesting to know if there are differences in the table of contents (assuming your book has a TOC).

== Swords and Deviltry ==<br />
<br />
Hello. I have added some notes to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?34110 your verified]. Given the data on title page and spine, shouldn't the publisher be entered as “Mayflower / Granada” ? Thanks. [[User:Linguist|Linguist]] 16:08, 3 July 2014 (UTC).<br />
:Hi. The Publishers section of the Wiki Help (http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Publishers) lists Granada and Mayflower separately, though noting that Mayflower was an imprint of Granada for a while. I think the usual format is to record the imprint rather than the publisher, hence this book should be listed as Mayflower, as it presently is. However, if you want to ask one of the Mods for a ruling, please do :-) [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:46, 3 July 2014 (UTC)<br />

Hello. Added some notes to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181533 your verified], uploaded a new cover scan (better definition), and noted the same problem. I had started a discussion some time ago on this topic on the Rules and standards discussions page, but the differences of opinion made it turn short. My view is that, as long as the “Mayflower / Granada” option exists in the database, why not use it ? Anyway, I have put the data in the notes. Thanks.

It has a "fair use" disclaimer (required for copyrighted work), it has a link back to the publication record, it has a unique file name which matches the tag of the publication record from which it was linked.

:Hi - the other record in the Database for the 1976 edition states that it is the second printing. My copy states as follows: "First British edition published 1976 by Pan Books Limited".

<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

== ''The Memoirs of a Survivor'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />
<br />
If you do have a copy, please do a primary verification of the record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 09:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)<br />

== Author of "The Bottle-Imp" ==<br />
<br />
In your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 verified pub] authorship is attributed to Johann Karl August Musäus. It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />

Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />

<br />
In ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 The Captain of the Pole-Star]'' I intend to mark the following stories non-genre: "The Man from Archangel" (synopsis: John McVittie, sick of human company, retires to a small cottage on the shores of Scotland. One day, he rescues a woman from a wrecked ship. Disaster follows after her when a man from the same ship arrives.); "That Little Square Box" (Mr. Hammond, traveling aboard a steamer, overhears two strangers talking about their mechanism that they are going to set in motion that evening, and assumes they mean a bomb. But it turns out they are just testing the abilities of homing pigeons.); "John Huxford's Hiatus" (Young John Huxford left his wife to find work, but was robbed and hit on the head and lost his memory. He made a new life, and only after 50 years did his memory return. He went back to his wife and found that she had been keeping their home exactly the same all those decades in hopes he might turn up.); and "Elias B. Hopkins: The Parson of Jackman's Gulch" (Parson Hopkins tries to get the miners in an Australian settlement to give up blaspheming every time he enters a saloon. His preaching is impressive enough that he is asked to hold a worship service in a saloon's back room one Sunday. But the service is interrupted by criminous events.) Any objections? --[[User:Vasha77|Vasha]] 21:42, 19 November 2017 (EST)<br />

You have verified a number of Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan books where the notes state there are "Other Prices: UK: £0.95". Is this from a sticker or printed on the cover / interior of the book? My copy has no such notation but I'd be very interested if it were actually printed in the copies. <br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
Hi, You verified and may be our only source for this 1993 edition of ''Frankenstein'' P{{p|326251}}. Concerning its two "Selections from the Fantasmagoria": <br />
*302 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: Preface • essay by J. B. B. Eyries<br />
*305 • Selections from the Fantasmagoria: The Gray Room: A True Story • short story by unknown <br />
# Is Eyries thus credited, without the diacritical mark (Eyriès)? This appears to be our only published attribution to JBBE by name.<br />
# Is the spelling Fantasmagoria correct? The 1812 anthology translated by JBBE is <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> T{{t|1895152}}.<br />
# Does the book identify a translator, preferably with a date, for either work? If not, and you choose to compare the Preface texts, Mrs. Utterson (who didn't include The Grey Room in her anthology) translated the "Preface of the French Translator" in 1813, (viewed at HathiTrust) [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/loc.ark:/13960/t5bc55t6p?urlappend=%3Bseq=11 pp. iii]-viii, with 4 bibliographical footnotes, only one containing English. <br />
<br />
"The Gray Room: A True Story" must be some version of Die Graue Stube by H. Clauren--whose 2005 translator-editor calls that one the first publication in English, T{{t|1895539}}. Ideally we should also know whether your 1993 text is translated from German or from the 1812 French (JBBE). <br />
<br />
Two publication records for ''The Essential Frankenstein'' in a later edition contain almost no data and identify no sources or ISFDB editors. Both of those list as content "Annotations (The Essential Frankenstein)" by Leonard Wolf T{{t|918991}}, which would not be listed in the printed Contents list. If I find one of these in a library before you reply, I will reply to myself with what I learn from that. --[[User:Pwendt|Pwendt]]|[[User talk:Pwendt|talk]] 17:52, 3 January 2020 (EST)</div>Nimravushttps://isfdb.org/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Nimravus&diff=564868User talk:Nimravus2019-11-10T21:47:18Z<p>Nimravus: </p>

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
I had to reject your submission to change the author credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?825962 this title record] from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to Mary Shelley. Look at the record and you see that there are two other books published with the full name. Accepting the submission to change this title record would effect all three pubs currently listed under it. Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

::Unmerge and variant submissions were fine, but there's another problem: there are two novel records in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?326251 the publication record].

== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks.

== Time and Timothy Grenville ==<br />
<br />
I've place on hold the submission adding the cover art credit to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?100371 this publication]. It is considered good etiquette on the ISFDB for an editor to notify the primary verifier for any significant changes in a verified publication record. Some editors have placed a preference policy at the top of their talk pages about which changes they wish to be notified. I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks.

== ''Eschatus'' by Pennington ==<br />
<br />
I would not give Nostradamus credit for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?284153 this book], but would note the quotations in the note field. And because you've done a verification of the record, you can remove and previous note that no longer applies to the verified record. For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it?

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks.

There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged.

:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest.

:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help. Grammatically, the comma version would be correct and I think Benson would be grammatical, so I'll be happy to amend the story title accordingly, if that's what you suggest, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::No, they aren't titled, so "Solomon Kane (map)" seems like the right solution. I will change them both to that, but I don't know how to merge the titles - are you OK to do that?<br />

I'm holding a submission adding a third printing by Warner Books of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?4895 this title]. There's already a record for the second printing with the same date and ISBN as the one you're creating. The only difference is your price is in British currency. Is this a stickered price or is it printed directly on the book? (It may have the US printing exported to the UK.) Thanks for looking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:47, 19 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It's printed directly on the back cover. There are no other cover prices, only the UK price. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:48, 19 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

:::The back cover has extremely small printing (testing my less than perfect eyesight) saying "Printed in U.S.A.". This is confirmed in clear type on the copyright page. On the title page it states, "Warner Books are distributed in the United Kingdom by Hamlyn Paperbacks," so it looks like it was printed in the US specifically for the UK market.

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:50, 26 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided). Our practice is to notify after the fact for additions and to ask in advance about data changes. Some editors will have more specific instructions on their talk pages. If a verifier is not active, "ask in advance" becomes simply notify.... I left a note on [[User:Gloinson]]'s page about the additions to ''The Vultures of Whapeton''. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 14:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

== adding covers to verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one. Adding a cover where there is none seems like a very minor thing, but having the verifier compare does turn up different printings from time to time.

OCLC gets its data from participating libraries and then combines duplicate records, so it's probably a data recording or deduplication error of some sort.

:: Sounds good, I have rejected the submission. One of the things that I have learned over the years is that different sources have different strengths and weaknesses.

<br />
:Yes, they are credited to "Anonymous" on the title page of each story.

<br />
::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record.

:::::Oh, right - that seems fair enough :-) I've looked at the editing options for titles and none of them seems quite right for what I need to do.

== Amazon images ==<br />
<br />
I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title.

== The Howard Collector ==<br />
<br />
I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category.

:Hi. Neither book has a list of copyright dates for individual stories, so I would guess that whoever added the story to {{P|381852|this pub}} just took the date for the collection as a whole. In his introduction to the story, Christopher Lee refers to its original publication in <i>Dracula's Guest</i>, and a quick scan of both stories would indicate that they are the same.

About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5. There is no reference on the cover or in the book stating "Ballantine Books (UK)", however, the first price listed is "U.K. (8/-) 40p". On the back cover, top right hand corner it states "Cover printed in Canada". The copyright page states that the book was printed in Canada and it quotes "BALLANTINE BOOKS, INC." and gives their New York address. Hope this helps :-) .<br />
<br />
::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards. I added the zero to the SBN to create a valid ISBN, and added the "(UK)" to the publisher name. This is standard practice to disambiguate publishers who have the same name. In this case, to make it clear that this was a UK printing by the US publisher. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 18:12, 9 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

== Spelling differences in Dune appendix titles ==<br />
<br />
Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles. The question is: Are these spelling mistakes that were made when the ISFDB titles were created, or do these spelling mistakes actually exist in printed pubs? To clear this up, could you please check the following things in your book?<br />
* What is the spelling of the appendix IV title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}<br />
* What is the spelling of the cartographic notes title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1338986|Cartographic Notes}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514596|Cartographic Notes for Map}}<br />
I need to know the titles as they appear inside the book, but it might also be interesting to know if there are differences in the table of contents (assuming your book has a TOC).

== Swords and Deviltry ==<br />
<br />
Hello. I have added some notes to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?34110 your verified]. Given the data on title page and spine, shouldn't the publisher be entered as “Mayflower / Granada” ? Thanks. [[User:Linguist|Linguist]] 16:08, 3 July 2014 (UTC).<br />
:Hi. The Publishers section of the Wiki Help (http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Publishers) lists Granada and Mayflower separately, though noting that Mayflower was an imprint of Granada for a while. I think the usual format is to record the imprint rather than the publisher, hence this book should be listed as Mayflower, as it presently is. However, if you want to ask one of the Mods for a ruling, please do :-) [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:46, 3 July 2014 (UTC)<br />

Hello. Added some notes to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181533 your verified], uploaded a new cover scan (better definition), and noted the same problem. I had started a discussion some time ago on this topic on the Rules and standards discussions page, but the differences of opinion made it turn short. My view is that, as long as the “Mayflower / Granada” option exists in the database, why not use it ? Anyway, I have put the data in the notes. Thanks.

:Hi. I uploaded the image the same way I've done for dozens of others, and the edit was accepted by Stonecreek and was displaying OK earlier today. To save me wasting anybody's time, can you tell me what was incorrect about the upload? Thanks, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 20:38, 20 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::You used the "Upload file" link in the wiki section (here), instead of the upload link of the publication record. Compare [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Image:THSCNDPNBK1969.jpg this file] you uploaded back in June with the one you uploaded earlier today. It has a "fair use" disclaimer (required for copyrighted work), it has a link back to the publication record, it has a unique file name which matches the tag of the publication record from which it was linked. If an artist had been credited, it would have been linked to that artist's image files in a separate category on the wiki. The [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Image:Frank_Herbert0001.jpg file] you uploaded has none of these features which are generated automatically when you use the link on the publication record. <br />
<br />
::This is easily fixed by going to the publication record, clicking on the "Upload cover scan" link, and following the directions. The moderator who accepted the submission linking the previously uploaded image file to the publication record didn't notice that the name of the file was unusual ("Frank_Herbert0001.jpg") and would not have known that the image file was improperly uploaded to the wiki otherwise.

:Hi - the other record in the Database for the 1976 edition states that it is the second printing. My copy states as follows: "First British edition published 1976 by Pan Books Limited".

== Verne's ''Twenty Thousand Leagues...'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

== ''The Memoirs of a Survivor'' ==<br />
<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />
<br />
If you do have a copy, please do a primary verification of the record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 09:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)<br />

:Hi. You're right, I missed the edit on the date. I've corrected it to 1976. This is actually stated on the copyright page, so I'm not sure why I went to World Cat for it.

== Author of "The Bottle-Imp" ==<br />
<br />
In your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 verified pub] authorship is attributed to Johann Karl August Musäus. It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there's ''Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural'' (verified copies: [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?517709 (1)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289442 (2)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?415777 (3)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?435921 (4)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366609 (5)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?446362 (6)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?577863 (7)]), which contains "A Terribly Strange Bed," "The Three Strangers," "The Most Dangerous Game," "Leiningen Versus the Ants," "A Rose for Emily," "Taboo," and undoubtedly other non-supernatural ones that I'm not noticing at the moment. Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />
* "Taboo" by Geoffrey Household - An eastern European community is terrorized by a series of murders. The mystery is solved, but the terror, and other psychological effects, linger on.

<br />
In ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 The Captain of the Pole-Star]'' I intend to mark the following stories non-genre: "The Man from Archangel" (synopsis: John McVittie, sick of human company, retires to a small cottage on the shores of Scotland. One day, he rescues a woman from a wrecked ship. Disaster follows after her when a man from the same ship arrives.); "That Little Square Box" (Mr. Hammond, traveling aboard a steamer, overhears two strangers talking about their mechanism that they are going to set in motion that evening, and assumes they mean a bomb. But it turns out they are just testing the abilities of homing pigeons.); "John Huxford's Hiatus" (Young John Huxford left his wife to find work, but was robbed and hit on the head and lost his memory. He made a new life, and only after 50 years did his memory return. He went back to his wife and found that she had been keeping their home exactly the same all those decades in hopes he might turn up.); and "Elias B. Hopkins: The Parson of Jackman's Gulch" (Parson Hopkins tries to get the miners in an Australian settlement to give up blaspheming every time he enters a saloon. His preaching is impressive enough that he is asked to hold a worship service in a saloon's back room one Sunday. But the service is interrupted by criminous events.) Any objections? --[[User:Vasha77|Vasha]] 21:42, 19 November 2017 (EST)<br />

You have verified a number of Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan books where the notes state there are "Other Prices: UK: £0.95". Is this from a sticker or printed on the cover / interior of the book? My copy has no such notation but I'd be very interested if it were actually printed in the copies. <br />

== editing Primary-verified publications ==<br />
<br />
Hi. A word about editing practice/etiquette. Publications may have "Primary" verifiers. These are other editors who have compared the record against a physical copy of the publication in their possession. If think you have a copy of the same publication, and the information you see in it disagrees with the verified record, you should ask on the verifier's talk page (the "discussion" tab of the user page) before altering what's there. It's possible you have a different edition. Practice/etiquette for supplying additional information (as opposed to changing something) is to submit the change and leave a note on the verifier's talk page notifying him/her of the change. Some editors will have special instructions at the top of their talk pages. Otherwise, just start a new section.<br />
<br />
I've placed your proposed page count change to {{P|265941|The Unexpected Dimension}} on hold while asking [[User:Dirk_P_Broer]], the Primary verifier, to confirm. Thanks for the detailed note, and thank you for contributing. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== ''The Essential Dracula'' ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I made a couple of minor edits to your now-verified {{P|77467|The Essential Dracula}}. You may want to see [[Help:Screen:EditPub#General_contents]] for further details and reasons behind some of the things we do.<br />
<br />
*It's confusing, but we only use NONFICTION (and NONGENRE) for book-length works. Everything else that isn't fiction or a poem is made an ESSAY (whether it's actually an essay or not). I changed the types on all of those NONFICTION content entries to ESSAY.<br />
<br />
*For what the help calls ''"Standard" titles'' -- basically any sort of generic title that you might expect to see used for completely different text in many other works; i.e., "Introduction", "Acknowledgment", "Foreword", etc. -- we've taken to adding the book's title in parentheses ("Introduction (The Essential Dracula)") so that you can tell one instance of one of these titles from another when looking at an author's summary bibliography. It's mostly useful for prolific authors, but for consistency we apply the same treatment everywhere. I added these to the titles you supplied while I was changing them from NONFICTION.<br />
<br />
*I see your note about the interior art by Bing. If you'd like, you can record this with another content entry. You can make one entry that's the same title as the book, has no page number, has type INTERIORART, and has Bing as the "author". Or if you wanted to record each drawing/painting (if they were significant), you could create multiple such entries, adding [2], [3], etc., and giving the specific page numbers; if these separate drawings had titles or captions, you would use those instead of the book's title, but otherwise do the same.<br />
<br />
As I said, all very minor, and you're under no obligation to add content records for the art -- I only mention it to be sure you're aware that you can if you'd like. Thanks for contributing! --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 10:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, Marty. I've added Christopher Bing as INTERIORART, as you suggested, and note your other comments - I'll re-read the editing conventions as well!! [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 20:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
::I'm very much a tyro with HTML, but think I have correctly added some breaks to the Notes field so that it's not a block of text. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 20:24, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Both submissions were accepted. Good job. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== The Essential Frankenstein ==<br />
<br />
I had to reject your submission to change the author credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?825962 this title record] from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to Mary Shelley. Look at the record and you see that there are two other books published with the full name. Accepting the submission to change this title record would effect all three pubs currently listed under it. Because your pub is differently credited you should unmerge it from its title record and then make your pub a variant of the parent record. Under "Editing Tools" on the title record, you'll find a link to "Unmerge Titles". Click on that then on the next screen, check the box indicating your pub (the first one), and submit. This will make your pub an independent pub with no connection to the original title record, and it will then have to be either merged with a matching title record (if one exists) or made into a variant of the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?9795 parent title record] for this work. I'll take you through that step after the pub has been unmerged from its current title record. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the feedback - I've submitted an unmerge request for the "Mary Shelley" edition of the work that I have and will see how I get on with making it a variant. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 15:53, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Unmerge and variant submissions were fine, but there's another problem: there are two novel records in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?326251 the publication record]. One will have to be removed. The problem here is that the actual novel contained in the book isn't the same title as the book itself. What is the actual title and credit given on the title page on which the novel begins (page 20)? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:15, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: It's <i>Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus</i> and the editor's note on the text confirms that it is the 1818 edition.<br />
<br />
:::: And the author is credited as "Mary Shelley"? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::: Yes, definitely as Mary Shelley: Book cover, title page and copyright page all give her name in that form. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:46, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::This will take several submissions in order to straighten out, so I'm going to do it myself. Most book entries are not as complicated as this one, so I don't want you think this is typical. In most cases, there's one author, one title without any variants. This is a special case. Thanks for your patience. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:04, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::Thanks - looks like I dived in at the deep end! You've probably noticed that in the contents I gave authorship to the Novel as <i>Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley</i>, which I was going to change to <i>Mary Shelley</i>, as this is obviously how it's given in this particular volume - I was doing the edit rather late at night - but if you would also change that it will save me a job. Thanks, again. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 17:26, 18 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Invasion of the Body Snatchers ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?122541 this publication], but reverted the name of the publisher back to Prion Books. In most instances, a canonical name of a publisher has evolved over time. In this case, adding "Limited" to the publisher's name creates a new publisher record, and this book would not be listed with other publications from this publisher. Sometimes we drop certain parts (Ltd, Company, Books) of publishers' name in order to be consistent. But that doesn't mean we're always right. If you feel that all books from this publisher should be "Prion Books Limited", moderators can make a universal change with only one submission. We try to be as careful as possible before making such changes, because it will effect many publication records, some of which may be verified. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:01, 22 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== The Forever War ==<br />
<br />
Except for the date [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?355650 the record] you just added is identical to an earlier [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?109731 pub record]. Does your copy state the date and/or a printing number? Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:01, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It states on the copyright page that it's printed 2000 and is the third impression. The cover artist is stated on the back cover as Chris Moore, but the art itself is different to the other editions already in the list. I will upload a cover scan if this edition is approved. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 00:14, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The submission was approved before I left the message (otherwise I would not have been able to link to it.)

<br />
::::: "Fairly firm"? Does this mean if I code it, it will come? ;-) (Probably needs a bit of discussion first, as I'm not clear about what we should ''base'' printing numbers on.) [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 01:21, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::: There are two major unresolved questions about printing numbers (that I know of.) First, do we make it a numeric field or a regular free text field? Second, do we capture just the stated printing number (based on an explicit statement in the book or on the number line) or do we also add a field for the "actual printing number" in case the publisher has committed the unforgivable sin known as "printing number reset". And yes, we'll need to move this discussion to the Community Portal. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Time and Timothy Grenville ==<br />
<br />
I've place on hold the submission adding the cover art credit to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?100371 this publication]. It is considered good etiquette on the ISFDB for an editor to notify the primary verifier for any significant changes in a verified publication record. Some editors have placed a preference policy at the top of their talk pages about which changes they wish to be notified. I'll leave a message on Blongley's talk page to let him know you want to make Bruce Pennington the artist of this book's cover. Without a strong secondary source for the credit, it's not likely that he would allow such a change, as would be the case for most editors. This is ISFDB policy. Without a source, or identifiable signature, all opinions about credit should be placed into the notes, not the cover art field itself. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:10, 25 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: We might have an answer if Hauck can check {{T|1266914|this}}. It may be Ray Feibush. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 13:53, 25 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: It looks like Feibush may have done the hardcover only. I'd let the note through for all the additional prices, but I'm not so sure about the artist - I couldn't find the cover on [http://www.brucepennington.co.uk/ Bruce Pennington's web page] or on [http://www.djabbic.co.uk/BookCover.php?artistID=2 djabbic]. The latter of which reminds me that we really could usefully add a page of cover-image thumbnails to ISFDB. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 16:33, 25 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I've emailed the Bruce Pennington website to see if they will confirm whether Pennington is the artist. I'll advise of any response I get back. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 11:39, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::: Thanks! We Mods are so over-worked that we can rarely spare the time to check-up on small issues. While it will be nice to get official confirmation on this cover, if you can encourage Bruce or his representatives to work on the rest of his stuff it would be even better.

== ''Eschatus'' by Pennington ==<br />
<br />
I would not give Nostradamus credit for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?284153 this book], but would note the quotations in the note field. And because you've done a verification of the record, you can remove and previous note that no longer applies to the verified record. For example, pre-verification the note "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." made sense because that was the source for the data. Now the primary source of the data is the book itself, so the note is not necessary. If any data is not present in the book, you can specify which data may be from a secondary source, including the previously noted source. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'm holding the submission which adds the note "The copyright date in the book is 197-1977. No specific publication date is given." That's a strange copyright date. Can you confirm it? In this case, I would suggest removing "Info from Locus #212 (July 1978)." to "Publication date from Locus #212 (July 1978).". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I meant to type "1976-1977", but even so it's slightly odd. It probably relates to the date that Pennington copyrighted the artwork, rather than being the publication date of the book. I will leave the Pub date as is and also the note that this data came from Locus. Thanks, again. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 21:57, 26 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I approved your edits to {{P|179437|The Robert E. Howard Omnibus}}. When you modify the listing for a Primary-verified pub, you should leave note on the verifier's talk page (unless there's a note on the page telling you to do otherwise). If you've obtained information from a reliable secondary source and are adding, it's generally ok to edit first, notify after (if you think you've found something in the pub that the primary verifier missed, you should ask first, then edit). I left a note for [[User:Unapersson]] about this submission, so just something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks, --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 01:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

I'm afraid there's no difference in ISFDB terms. The order of authors is not guaranteed, and is never likely to be - the effort involved in the change just isn't worth it. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 16:50, 7 July 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Sourcing data ==<br />
<br />
I accepted the submission adding this [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358074 new publication record], but, unless you're working from the book-in-hand, it's necessary that you note the source for your data in the submission's note field. If you're working from the book-in-hand, let the moderators know in the "Note to the Moderator" field that you have the book and will be doing a primary verification of the record. For information on how to do a primary verification, go [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_verify_data here]. Thanks for your cooperation, and thanks for contributing.

<br />
:Same situation with [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358077 Das Buch Kane]. Please note the source of your data or do a primary verification of the record. I see that you've given the English titles of the novels in this German publication, which I suspect is incorrect. That can be corrected by updating the record and writing over the titles in the content title fields. Also "Kane" is a title series, not a publication series. Here is a [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:How_to_work_with_series help page] that explains the difference in the types of series and how to work with each. Thanks.

== Number Lines ==<br />

I'm afraid that "the number line is simply 10, so I think it's a first printing" for {{P|294669|The Complete Chronicles of Conan: Centenary Edition}} is an incorrect assumption - that's a tenth printing.

== Conan Centenary Edition ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission to change the date in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?294669 this record]. Is the date stated in your copy? Is there a stated printing? I ask because we already have a [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?358976 record] for January 2006 edition, and it has a different price than yours. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 13:36, 16 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

::Look at [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/mod/pv_update.cgi?1662122 the submission]. Ten printings in one year would be extremely high, even for a Conan collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 02:02, 17 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Agreed, especially with a price change. This really is probably an unknown date, as I left it. But the "10th printing" is worth a note. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 08:41, 17 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

== "The Mouser Goes Below" ==<br />
<br />
I'm holding the submission that wants to change the type of {{T|82335|this novella}} from SHORTFICTION to NOVEL. I'm afraid you've stumbled upon a situation that has no clear-cut answer. In the past, it caused such a division among us that we divided into two opposing groups: the "lengthists" and the "bookists". Some of us felt that regardless of the actual length of a story, the way it's presented in the book takes precedence, and that has become the ''de facto'' ISFDB standard. A 40,000 word story which forms half of an Ace Double will be entered as a novel. A 100,000 word novel that is included in a collection would be entered as a novella. Consider that two of the works in Stephen King's collection {{P|14505|Four Past Midnight}} are more than 200 pages long and you'll see what I mean. If "The Mouse Goes Below" had first been published as a stand-alone book, there would be a great case to make it into a novel. Now that it's typed as SHORTFICTION, a stand-alone book would have to be typed as a CHAPTERBOOK. If the submission is accepted, we would have to re-type {{T|29324|The Knight and Knave of Swords}} as an OMNIBUS. I'll keep the submission on hold if you feel a discussion of the issue should involve more editors. In that case, you can present your case on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Rules_and_standards_discussions Rules & Standards] page. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 01:35, 24 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Notification of a record being primary verified ==<br />

I saw that you're leaving a moderator note on updated records that you have a copy and have verified the book. In cases where you've already verified the record, there's no need to note that. Moderators are warned when an verified record is being changed. In fact, we're told who verified the record. If we see that the update is from the same editor, we accept it (almost) immediately.

Hi. I accepted your submission of the Patrick Woodroffe credit for {{P|114111|Dwellers in the Mirage}}. When you get data from a source other than the book, you should add to the notes, citing the source (so later editors and browsers can tell where it came from).

<br />
In {{P|323585|this pub}}, you verified {{T|1316607|The Miracle of the Lily}} as a short story (<= 7,500 words). There is another title record for this story ({{T|54792|The Miracle of the Lily}}) that has been verified by other editors as a novelette (> 7,500 and <= 17,500 words). As the date on your record matches that of the Amazing Stories publication, can you double check the length? If this is the same story, then the two records should be merged. If it is truly an abridged version, then the date should be changed to the first printing of the abridged version and a note added. Thanks. --[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] 17:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There were other stories in that [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?323585 anthology] that had not been merged with the current ISFDB records because of a couple of typos ("The Mortal Imortal" [sic] and "he Ultimate Ingredient" [sic]). So I went ahead and merged them, correcting the typos. About "The Miracle of the Lily", I believe the two records are for the same version of the story and I'll merge them as a novelette. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::"The Miracle of the Lily" is 20 pages long in {{P|323585|this pub}} - I haven't counted the number of words. Based on the Help page saying that a short story is "Roughly, 20 or fewer pages in a book" I went for that, but if you think it should be a novellete ("Roughly 20 to 50 pages in a book"), I'm easy. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:15, 11 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Page counting is the least effective way to determine a story's length, although admittedly, it's the easiest. The story is 28 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?3412 this publication]. Only 17 pages long in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?57834 this publication], and 24 pages in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?5704 this publication] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?209077 this one]. The Help section gives a rough guideline. When other factors outweigh those guidelines, it's better to use them instead. You can also use a word counter that ISFDB editor [[User Talk:Swfritter|Swfritter]] wrote on Google docs, which I've found to be quite reliable. The speadsheet can be found [https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pNquO1xUb3u-rvNJSEkQcaw here]. Be sure to only use the shaded cells and don't modify any other cells.

: You verified [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?182233 The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson] on 2011-09-18. You claim that the story "Home Sweet Home" lacks a comma in the title. The Google Books snippet view which is malfunctioning as I speak claims the title is "Home, Sweet Home". Will you please doublecheck? What does it say in the table of contents and what does it say on the actual story title page, which I believe is page 408. Thanks. [[User:Zxcvbnm|Zxcvbnm]] 00:45, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: On page vi of the Contents, the story is listed as "Home Sweet Home" - no comma. I entered the publication contents from the Contents pages of the book. Turning to page 408, the story is entitled "Home, Sweet Home" - with comma. So, the book itself has both versions of the title. Searching the internet gives various hits with both versions, so no definitive help. Grammatically, the comma version would be correct and I think Benson would be grammatical, so I'll be happy to amend the story title accordingly, if that's what you suggest, [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

::: Thanks for Checking. We will update that record to match the title page of the story. When you get a chance, please review [[Help:Screen:EditPub#Title_2|Contents Titles]] in the Wiki Help. Our standard is that the 'official' title of a work is whatever is printed on the starting page of the story.. which is page 408 in this case. (We know that a title can appear in the contents, on the title page, and also maybe in an index.. so when there is a difference, the story title page 'wins'). [[User:Kpulliam|Kevin]] 15:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Personally what I do is I enter things from the contents page.. then I check every title page. That helps me find things where the page number is off, or the title changes, or the authors name changes. (In all cases, the actual starting page of the story is the official answer. Thanks again [[User:Kpulliam|Kevin]] 15:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Creating records for maps ==<br />
<br />
Maps are considered a specialized form of interiorart, so the same rules apply when it comes to naming them: use the title of the book. If the map has no title, then it should be entered as "Title of Book (map)" or "...(maps)" if there are more than one. So I changed "Map (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" to "Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars (map)". This also applies to frontispieces. The format "Generic Title (Title of Book)" is used for essays which are generically titled, e.g. "Introduction (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)" or "Afterword (Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars)". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks for the heads up. The map entry I added to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289207 will also need changing to the correct format, which I can do. However, it is actually the same map as in "Skulls,"so should it have a generic title linked to both records, or two different names, following the title they're in? Interestingly, the maps are the same two-page spread, but that in "Skulls" has had the pages printed in the wrong order, at least in the edition I have.<br />
<br />
::Do the maps have a title? If so, we can use that and then merge the two to indicate the maps are identical. Otherwise, we could just name each "Solomon Kane (map)" and merge the two records. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::No, they aren't titled, so "Solomon Kane (map)" seems like the right solution. I will change them both to that, but I don't know how to merge the titles - are you OK to do that?<br />

I'm holding a submission adding a third printing by Warner Books of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?4895 this title]. There's already a record for the second printing with the same date and ISBN as the one you're creating. The only difference is your price is in British currency. Is this a stickered price or is it printed directly on the book? (It may have the US printing exported to the UK.) Thanks for looking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:47, 19 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

:::The back cover has extremely small printing (testing my less than perfect eyesight) saying "Printed in U.S.A.". This is confirmed in clear type on the copyright page.

== Publisher's Catalog # ≠ Publication Series # ==<br />
<br />
The publisher's catalog number should not go into the Pub. Series # Field. That field is for the number of the Publication Series. There has to be a series, before there can be a number in the series. In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this case], "#U7063" is the catalog number and is usually placed in the ISBN/Catalog No. field. If the pub has both ISBN and catalog number, the ISBN goes into the field, and the catalog number is recorded in the Note field. There are exceptions to this rule, most notably when it comes to European publication series which are not exactly the same as American and British publishers' publication series. Even in these cases, a publication series must be specified before entering the series number. When you get a chance please update the record. Thanks.

== Editing verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. When you edit a publication that has a primary verifier, you should notify the verifier (a link to the talk page is provided). Our practice is to notify after the fact for additions and to ask in advance about data changes. Some editors will have more specific instructions on their talk pages. If a verifier is not active, "ask in advance" becomes simply notify.... I left a note on [[User:Gloinson]]'s page about the additions to ''The Vultures of Whapeton''. Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 14:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

== adding covers to verified pubs ==<br />
<br />
Hi. Adding a cover to a verified publication is like other edits, and you should notify the primary verifier (after the fact is fine), if there is one. Adding a cover where there is none seems like a very minor thing, but having the verifier compare does turn up different printings from time to time.

OCLC gets its data from participating libraries and then combines duplicate records, so it's probably a data recording or deduplication error of some sort. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 02:22, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

:: Sounds good, I have rejected the submission. One of the things that I have learned over the years is that different sources have different strengths and weaknesses.

<br />
:Yes, they are credited to "Anonymous" on the title page of each story.

<br />
:::This one's the same - Anonymous in the book, not Uncredited. I did specify this in the mod note when I added it, but as it wasn't altered I just assumed that it was a naming convention I was unaware of. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 23:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::The ISFDB policy is to record exactly as credited. If a piece is not credited we credit it as "uncredited". Mod notes don't change anything about the record.

:::::Oh, right - that seems fair enough :-) I've looked at the editing options for titles and none of them seems quite right for what I need to do. I don't want to change the author to Anonymous in the main story title, as it's associated to other publications where it might actually be Uncredited. Do I create a Variant Title?

== Amazon images ==<br />
<br />
I've deleted the images you uploaded to the ISFDB server for two editions of ''The Slave of Frankenstein''. Both appear to have been snagged from Amazon's server, and both were rather small and included the white frame. If you don't have a better scan of the book, it's better to just link directly to Amazon's file, instead of snagging it and uploading it to our server. In both of these cases, I've relinked the publication records to the Amazon image file that did not have the white frame. It's rather easy to remove the frames from most Amazon images. Read the instructions on [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions this page] under the Amazon subheading. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Thanks, I hadn't noticed the white frames. I can remove the frames and reupload to ISFDB, if that is the preferred option. Or are we happy to just link to Amazon? The problem with the latter, in my experience, is that if the book becomes unavailable, the image disappears. [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Either way is OK, I just don't think it's worth the effort to upload to the ISFDB server unless you can find a better image outside of Amazon. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
I've changed the title record for ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?45 Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion"]'' from ''Tarzan and the Foreign Legion'' (without the quotation marks). It appears that it was usually published with the quotation marks in the title and the covers from the earlier Allen, and Goulden-Allen editions reflect the title in this form. However, the cover of your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?285173 Pinnacle] edition has the title without the quotation marks. Could you check the title page of your copy and see if the quotation marks appear? If they do, we should change the title of the publication record for your copy (we could note that the cover differs). If not, then we should unmerge your copy and make it a variant title.

== The Howard Collector ==<br />

I recently entered the fanzine The Howard Collector, which published all of the material in a pub you verified http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181381. I understand the primary verifier is no longer active, so I'm turning to you. I don't have this pub, but I found a lot of problems with the contents. There were misspellings, incomplete titles and what I felt were mis-identified items (short story, where I feel the item is an essay). There were no dates on the letters. Howard's letters were all bunched under a single item and impossible to merge with the individual letters in the fanzine.<br />
<br />
I wonder if you would got through the pub and check the entries, add dates to the letters where they are given (are the letters given is "Letter: " or as shown, "Letter, "?), and split out the individual Howard letters. I'd certainly appreciate your help with this. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 23:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

:The submissions to merge the records have been sitting in the queue for a week. I'm going to accept them and then let Nimravus decide whether the letters are correctly entered as they're titled in the Ace collection. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 14:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::The letters in the section <i>Letters</i>, pages 172 to 187, are listed <i>en bloc</i> in the Contents and are not listed separately in the Acknowledgements, hence no individual publication dates. They are printed within the publication as a section of their own with the title, <i>Letters</i>. The letters in this section all have a date attributed to them, either a postmark or date on the letter itself, but that's not the original publication date. Consequently it would be possible for me to split them out as separate entries, but that's not how they are printed in the book. How do you want to do this? [[User:Nimravus|Nimravus]] 22:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::The letters in the fanzine are given the same way; those dates are not the dates of publication, but serve to identify the letter (disambiguate it). The date of publication would be when the letter appeared in the fanzine. I understand that the ToC doesn't list the letters separately, but in order to merge the records for the letters, thereby getting the correct date of first publication on them, you would have to list them individually in the contents. The more recent pubs with many of Howard's letters can then be merged as well. But of course, you're the primary and have to decide whether you're willing to go to the trouble. I hope you'll decide to do so. [[User:Biomassbob|Bob]] 16:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::As to the classification of "Sentiment", I think if you look at it, you'll agree it's an essay. There is now a pub of Howard work with the same title, where the essay appears under a section titled "Commentary on the World". Some of Howard's essays could be argued to be fiction, the ones that deal with Texas people and events that may be folklore, but "Sentiment" is clearly not in that category.

:Hi. Neither book has a list of copyright dates for individual stories, so I would guess that whoever added the story to {{P|381852|this pub}} just took the date for the collection as a whole.

About the catalog number given in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?258170 this record]. It looks like an early attempt at an ISBN. Adding a zero to it would make it a valid ISBN, but that range wasn't used by Ballantine until late 1970. In fact, Ballantine didn't use ISBNs in 1968. Where is it located in the book and how is it stated? Also, yours look like a UK printing of the US publisher's edition. There are similar printings by other titles which credit the publisher as "Ballantine Books (UK)" to differentiate the publishers. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 21:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi. The "SBN" is on the back cover. bottom left next to the recommended prices and is given as 345.02006.5. There is no reference on the cover or in the book stating "Ballantine Books (UK)", however, the first price listed is "U.K. (8/-) 40p". On the back cover, top right hand corner it states "Cover printed in Canada". The copyright page states that the book was printed in Canada and it quotes "BALLANTINE BOOKS, INC." and gives their New York address. Hope this helps :-) .<br />
<br />
::After several months with no response to my inquiry, I made the changes to make the record conform to ISFDB standards. I added the zero to the SBN to create a valid ISBN, and added the "(UK)" to the publisher name. This is standard practice to disambiguate publishers who have the same name. In this case, to make it clear that this was a UK printing by the US publisher. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 18:12, 9 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

== Spelling differences in Dune appendix titles ==<br />
<br />
Hi. You have verified {{P|316928|this}} publication of Dune. In a publication of the novel that {{P|352583|I own}} I have found some spelling differences for two of the appendix titles. The question is: Are these spelling mistakes that were made when the ISFDB titles were created, or do these spelling mistakes actually exist in printed pubs? To clear this up, could you please check the following things in your book?<br />
* What is the spelling of the appendix IV title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1053084|Appendix IV: The Almanaken-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Nobel Houses)}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514595|Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses}}<br />
* What is the spelling of the cartographic notes title in your book? Currently recorded in the ISFDB is {{T|1338986|Cartographic Notes}}, but in my pub I have {{T|1514596|Cartographic Notes for Map}}<br />

Can you confirm if [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?368089 this book] was published under the Del Rey imprint? The cover scan appears to show the Del Rey Fantasy logo in the upper right corner. If so, the publisher field should be "Del Rey / Ballantine". Thanks for checking. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 04:24, 1 September 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:The Amazon cover scan is not identical to the physical copy I have, so I will submit a cover scan shortly. It does have the Del Rey Fantasy logo and the copyright pages says "A Del Rey Book. Published by Ballantine Books," so I will submit a publisher change to "Del Rey / Ballantine".<br />

The Publishers section of the Wiki Help (http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Publishers) lists Granada and Mayflower separately, though noting that Mayflower was an imprint of Granada for a while.

<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?473563 this publication record]: I had to remove (and delete) the NOVEL title record which you added as a content to the Contents section of the submission. When creating new publication records, do not add a content record for title of the work. Only add content records for works which are contained in the publication. The system automatically creates a title record for the work. I also merged the title with an existing title record, with the same title, author credit, and language. Neither showed translator credit so the new pub should have been entered under the existing title record instead of creating a new title record using the "Add New Novel" function. Thanks.

<br />
Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?504683 this publication record]: You didn't give a source for the data, so I'm assuming it comes from a copy of the actual book. If so, you should check the button indicating that in the source section of the submission form. Also, it's not a good idea to clone a publication from another record unless you wish to save time in importing the contents. In the case of novels, there are usually no contents to import. So it's better to use the "Add Publication to This Title" function, which lessens the chances of accidentally duplicating date that can occur during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
Also, can you provide the OCLC record which you used as a source of the date of publication? I was unable to find it. It seems that the price is exceedingly low for a 1981 publication. There was a record for this same ISBN dated 1976, a year with a range of prices closer to that given in this book.<br />

== Author of "The Bottle-Imp" ==<br />
<br />
In your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?382539 verified pub] authorship is attributed to Johann Karl August Musäus. It is possible that Haining mis-attributed authorship and the actual author may be Baron Friedrich de La Motte Fouqué. If the beginning mentions a character named Richard, the Thirty Year's War and a Spanish Captain that is most likely the case. If you could be so kind as to take a look at the story when you have the opportunity.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 00:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Hi. Haining definitely attributes <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> to Musäus, giving a short biography of him prior to the story, which does indeed involve a young German merchant called Richard at the time of the Thirty Year's War. I see from a quick internet search that <i>The Bottle-Imp</i> has been attributed to both authors at one time or other. That's where my scholarship ends! The attribution of story to Musäus is, however, correct as given in the book, so if you're sure that Haining has got it wrong a note stating such would seem appropriate, but I don't think that Fouqué should be directly attributed in the edition Contents.

== A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment ==<br />
<br />
Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.<br />
<br />
Firstly, there's ''Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural'' (verified copies: [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?517709 (1)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?289442 (2)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?415777 (3)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?435921 (4)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366609 (5)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?446362 (6)], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?577863 (7)]), which contains "A Terribly Strange Bed," "The Three Strangers," "The Most Dangerous Game," "Leiningen Versus the Ants," "A Rose for Emily," "Taboo," and undoubtedly other non-supernatural ones that I'm not noticing at the moment. Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:<br />

== nongenre stories in The Captain of the Pole-Star ==<br />
<br />
In ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?380420 The Captain of the Pole-Star]'' I intend to mark the following stories non-genre: "The Man from Archangel" (synopsis: John McVittie, sick of human company, retires to a small cottage on the shores of Scotland. One day, he rescues a woman from a wrecked ship. Disaster follows after her when a man from the same ship arrives.); "That Little Square Box" (Mr. Hammond, traveling aboard a steamer, overhears two strangers talking about their mechanism that they are going to set in motion that evening, and assumes they mean a bomb. But it turns out they are just testing the abilities of homing pigeons.); "John Huxford's Hiatus" (Young John Huxford left his wife to find work, but was robbed and hit on the head and lost his memory. He made a new life, and only after 50 years did his memory return. He went back to his wife and found that she had been keeping their home exactly the same all those decades in hopes he might turn up.); and "Elias B. Hopkins: The Parson of Jackman's Gulch" (Parson Hopkins tries to get the miners in an Australian settlement to give up blaspheming every time he enters a saloon. His preaching is impressive enough that he is asked to hold a worship service in a saloon's back room one Sunday. But the service is interrupted by criminous events.) Any objections? --[[User:Vasha77|Vasha]] 21:42, 19 November 2017 (EST)<br />

== UK Pricing on Burroughs ==<br />
<br />
You have verified a number of Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan books where the notes state there are "Other Prices: UK: £0.95". Is this from a sticker or printed on the cover / interior of the book? My copy has no such notation but I'd be very interested if it were actually printed in the copies. <br />
<br />
The specific books are: - [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?365711 Tarzan and the Lost Empire], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?365018 Tarzan the Untamed], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?365021 Tarzan and the Ant Men], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?365721 Tarzan at the Earth's Core], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?344590 Tarzan the Invincible], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366462 Tarzan Triumphant], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366463 Tarzan and the City of Gold], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?366576 Tarzan and the Lion Man], [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?345238 Tarzan and the Leopard Men] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?34592 Tarzan's Quest]. <br />

:Hi Doug. The UK price is from a sticker on the back cover. I bought the editions from various booksellers and the stickers bear no retailer names or logos, so I assume the UK pricing was made by the publisher or UK distributor.
