Welcome!

Hello, Elf Herself, and welcome to the ISFDB Wiki! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.

Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

I hope you enjoy editing here! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will insert your name and the date. If you need help, check out the community portal, or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! MagicUnk 14:31, 2 October 2021 (EDT)

Virginia Cross

Hello,

I had to reject your update to this record here

  • We cannot link to Imgur. You can move the image to our DB or you can find it in a place we can link to
  • No source for either the dates or the birthplace and I am unable to verify them fully. Providing your sources will be very helpful.
  • If she was credited as Virginia Cross, that's what we record. Or are you saying that our attribution in this book is incorrect? If so, do you have an image of a cover and/or title page?

Thanks! Annie 14:55, 8 October 2021 (EDT) (moving response here)

No problem; I understand why the change got rejected. I'm still sorting out how this works - I'll look into getting the image in the DB here.

I believe the credit on Martha Brown is partially incorrect - Cory published "Martha Brown, M.P.: A Girl of Tomorrow" under the name Victoria Cross. I don't believe that's the same as Virginia Cross who published "Adversity" in 1955. Annnie Sophie Cory, aka Vivian Cory, aka Victoria Cross, died in 1952. I can't find any evidence she published under the name Virginia, nor that this was a posthumous release. - Elf Herself 20:11, 10 October 2021 (EDT)
Let me look through that last note a bit more carefully - will be back when I do some more digging. Two people with the same name are not unheard of (see Adam Johnson for example - and we may have a mistake in a credit as well. :)
When someone posts on your page, they usually put your page on their watch list - so you can respond directly here. I copied your note from my page so we keep the conversation together (plus you get the nice yellow bar telling you that someone left a message) :)
Let me know if I can assist with anything else. Annie 18:54, 11 October 2021 (EDT)
