Out of this World!

Hello, Franz, thanks for adding this interesting volume that I (and we) didn't know of. I have modified some minor details (second author name without a suffix, publication format, price). If you'd like to contribute more, you'll find the pages hinted to above helpful. Thanks again, Christian Stonecreek 15:41, 9 January 2020 (EST)


Hi Christian,

thanks for the fast reply and good infos. As my coverart for "Out..." is one of my favourites in the books publishing industry I`m glad to see it now on my biblio. I have now scanned an uploaded the cover as it is really interesting that in the whole internet there is no good scan of this great book. Hope it worked, and I`m sure to find the one or anonther interesting book and cover of mine. Greetings from Austria and all the best Franz Miklis Franz Miklis 14:15, 10 January 2020 (EST)

Thanks for the cover image, Franz. I do like your work very much, and this is in fact a particular fine example. I'll see if I can obtain a copy of the book.
We do need some legal information in a template for the cover image, and have a semi-automated procedure installed (via the link 'Upload new cover scan' for a given publication). So I just deleted your upload (after copying it) and uploaded it anew, using this procedure. I hope this was okay. Greetings from the North Rhine. Christian Stonecreek 15:27, 10 January 2020 (EST)

Thanks, Looks great. And greetings from the northern Gate to the Alps. }¡Franz Miklis,Franz Miklis 03:07, 11 January 2020 (EST)

Alien Contact #40

Hello, Franz, thanks for uploading the image. But please use the semi-automated procedure (via the link 'Upload new cover scan' on the publication level). Thanks, Christian Stonecreek 14:12, 17 January 2020 (EST)

Hi Christian, Ok, is on the way.I´m going to search my bookshelf for finding the one or another cover I´ve done for the scene. You´ll hear from me, thanks for the help and a nice weekend. franzFranz Miklis 14:19, 17 January 2020 (EST)

Magazines in general

And here QM #86: Thanks for adding this, Franz. I have applied some of the ISFDB standards here (differentiating titles like 'Vorwort' - here: 'Zum Geleit'). You may want to take a look at the authors you added: Is Jens Schuhmacher maybe erreneously spelled and really Jens Schumacher? There's also one Marco Frenschowski and one Marco Frenschkowski. I also seem to remember that these are trade paperbacks (i.e. taller than 19cm). Christian Stonecreek 13:49, 23 January 2020 (EST)

Hi Christian, and thanks - you are absolutely right, I´ve made some typos that are corrected now and the mag. is really 21 cm high. But I enjoyed to contribute to isfdb and you can be sure that there will be the one or another news. Thanks, Franz Franz Miklis 14:32, 23 January 2020 (EST)

Regarding 'Andromeda Nachrichten' (and, again, magazines in general): We do handle magazines somewhat differently than other publications. For example, all of the pages (including covers) go into the page count (see here), which leads to the fact that printed magazines get assigned an even page count (and quite often one that is dividable by four). That's why e. g. this magazine has a page count of 184. Thanks, Christian Stonecreek 05:48, 26 January 2020 (EST)

Thanks again, I´ll correct this and include the cover and some interiorart today. More news will follow, nice sunday, franz Franz Miklis 13:13, 26 January 2020 (EST)

Der Kämpfer des Lichtes

Hello, Franz! I have this submission on hold: it seems that this is not a FANZINE (a genre MAGAZINE published non-professionally), but either a NOVEL or a CHAPBOOK (containing one piece of SHORTFICTION, and your pieces of art, of course). This would depend on the length of the text included (but with 76 pages it is likely the latter). We really don't differ for texts (or pieces of art) if they were created by professionals or fans (see also this example). Also, the publisher will have to be changed, 'Light-Edition' appears to be a publication series. Christian Stonecreek 03:33, 29 January 2020 (EST)

Hello, Christian. I included this special zine because I really like the coverart (absoutely one of my favourites), but you´re right, it was not easy to define it. If it helps I took a short look into the Impressum: here it stands Herausgeber: Light-Edition, SFC Universum Copyright by Light-Edition 1993, überarbeitete 2. Auflage 2004 Printed in Germany 2004 Light-Edition http://www.Light-edition.net Mit freundlicher Genehmigung der PERRY RHODAN-Redaktion, Verlagsunion Pabel Moewig KG, Rastatt

And if I take a look at the Cover there is a text: Light edition MAGIC (this seems to be the series), but it is the only one zine I have of this kind. I hope this helps. Franz Franz Miklis 14:08, 29 January 2020 (EST)

After some research it seems that Light-Edition is indeed the publisher, but is not identical with SFC Universum: a review instead credits Achim Havemann as address for an order.
Also, you proposed a second printing: was the first one also graced by your art?
And I repeat: this likely is not a FANZINE (per ISFDB standard, see above). Christian Stonecreek 03:16, 30 January 2020 (EST)
Achim Havemann indeed is mentioned in the pub at "Druck & Heftung", so I think it should be the Light-Edition as publisher (without mentioning the SFC-U)
As far as I know only the second printing used my artwork.
My question is - What is the usual procedure now? Should I cancel the submission and add the pub. as New Chapbook anew?
Thanks for the help, Franz Franz Miklis 11:54, 30 January 2020 (EST)
One more thing: the first edition credits the publication's text not just to Werner Höbart but also to Patrick Achenbach. If you'll allow, I'll just reject your submission and enter the first printing. Then it'd be possible for you to use the 'Clone this publication' link on the left toolbar. Christian Stonecreek 23:55, 30 January 2020 (EST)
Of course you may proceed as proposed here. Then I`ll try to clone, sounds interesting. Thanks, Franz Miklis 03:15, 31 January 2020 (EST)
Okay, will do so. The credit for Achenbach was in fact for another text published by Light-Edition, so that can be ignored. Christian Stonecreek 03:31, 31 January 2020 (EST)
Allright, thanks, Franz Miklis 06:18, 31 January 2020 (EST)

Legenden der Zukunft 5

Good morning, Franz! I have this on hold as it'd seem that Werner Höbart edited this anthology (you credited him one time with, and one time without middle initial). Is that correct (who is in fact crefited on the title page)? And there's again the erroneous mentioning of SFC Universum as part of the publisher's name ('Herausgeber' has not the same meaning as 'Verlag'). Christian Stonecreek 01:32, 2 February 2020 (EST)

Good morning, Christian. Yes, Werner Höbart and Werner M. Höbart, both versions are printed in the pub. I found no name on the title page, but in the impressum there is announced "Koordination: Werner Höbart" - so it seems you are right. I´m quite sure that I just typed "Light-edition" (as publisher) but it seems the PC auto-filled-in "SFC Universum"...and I didn´t notice it, sorry. Franz Miklis 03:27, 2 February 2020 (EST)

Well in this case, we index the publication as by 'uncredited' and variant it to the actual editor afterwards. I'll the necessary changes. Christian Stonecreek 04:32, 2 February 2020 (EST)
Allright, and in the meantime I´ll scan the (quite attractive) cover, thanks. Franz Miklis 05:02, 2 February 2020 (EST)
One more question about Werner Höbart's Zeit der Unschuld. Do you happen to know if Zeit der Unschuld VIII would be in fact the eighth chapter from this novel? Christian Stonecreek 06:46, 2 February 2020 (EST)
I didn´t find a definitive note that this is exactly chapter eight of the story, but it seems logical. The story begins with a view back of what happened before, nearly half of a page, and the story ends with "Fortsetzung folgt" (instead of "Ende" at most of the ohters)
Okay, then it seems to be part of a serialization, and I'll change the title type accordingly and variant it to the parent piece. Thanks, Franz! Christian Stonecreek 23:19, 2 February 2020 (EST)
Allright, looks good, thanks. Franz Miklis 13:23, 3 February 2020 (EST)

Opuntia and A5

Hi, I have two submissions on hold from you, as you want a non-European fanzine to have a publication format of A5. As European I know this to be a very exactly defined format, 14.8 cm × 21 cm or 5.8" × 8.3", and not a millimeter or a hundredth of an inch more or less. If it is not that, but very close, I would like it to be mentioned under the Opuntia record in the note field. If it is indeed A5 (the exact half of an A4, which itself is the exact half of an A3, etc.) let me know, and I wil approve them a.s.a.p.--Dirk P Broer 18:43, 5 February 2020 (EST)

Being a Canadian fanzine, I suspect the real size to be P5 (14.0 cm x 21 cm or 5.5" x 8.3").--Dirk P Broer 21:55, 5 February 2020 (EST)
Hi Dirk. I took an exact look on the Opuntias and their format: It is (the same for all editions I´ve submitted) exactly 14.00 cm x 21,50 cm so I agree with you that we should correct the format to P5 (as you suggested as the nearest format possible). Hope this helps. Thanks and greetings. Franz Miklis 13:02, 6 February 2020 (EST)
Isfdb doesn't have the format P5 as such, but I'll append it to the note of the series that the format is slightly off A5. Thanks!--Dirk P Broer 16:53, 6 February 2020 (EST)

Future Magic #49

Hello, Franz. I do think that the interview is not with this Peter Horn, is that right? Christian Stonecreek 14:06, 9 February 2020 (EST)

Hi, Christian, you´re absolutely right. I took a short glimpse into the zine - and there the interview begins with: Hier nun Peters "Ich über mich": Ich wurde am 22.Juni 1964 in Krems/Donau in Niederösterreich geboren...... So you see he is an original Austrian author. Franz Miklis 16:17, 9 February 2020 (EST)

We'll have to differentiate the author from the already existing one: I think Peter Horn (1964-) should do it. But if you feel something like Peter Horn (Austria) would be better, please tell me. Thanks, Christian Stonecreek 02:01, 10 February 2020 (EST)
This is okay with me, looks good, thanks. Another cool coverart is on the way for uploading....Franz Miklis 13:52, 10 February 2020 (EST)

Mag. Art. Maria Goldgruber

Hi, is that the name of a real person: Mag. Art. Maria Goldgruber? You have that name in an author field, but I think plain 'Maria Goldgruber' would be enough then. And as the 'review' is about more than one issue of a magazine, I suggest to make it an essay.--Dirk P Broer 15:28, 2 March 2020 (EST)

Hi, well I just reflected the infos in the zine. It is okay for me to proceed as you suggest. Franz Miklis 16:38, 2 March 2020 (EST)

PHOENIX, Celebrating the Sixtieth Anniversary of the N3F

Hello,

According to the data entry standards for titles in the DB, we standardize the case of words in the titles unless there is a reason to believe that the non-standard capitalization is done on purpose (in which case a note on the reason needs to be added). See the case section here. With this in mind: Can you check this one and let me know if you capitalized because this is how it is on the cover/title page or if there is a reason to believe that this is an abbreviation and not the word Phoenix on its own. Thanks!

In addition, when an essay has a generic title (Editorial, Introduction and so on), we add the publication title in brackets after it (even though it is not in the publication). Otherwise you end up with author pages with 100 essays called Introduction on their page. In the case of this one, Editorial will need to be changed. Would you like to try that or would you like me to do it for you? Annie 15:36, 12 March 2020 (EDT)

Apparently another moderator decided to jump the gun and change the title for you on the capitalization. My question still stands though :) In addition is "Celebrating the Sixtieth Anniversary of the N3F" a subtitle (based on the cover, it looks like that but as we go by title page, can you check? If so, we use ":" and not "," as a separator. Annie 15:39, 12 March 2020 (EDT)
One more note - when the price is unknown, do not put the string "unknown" in the field. Instead either leave the field empty (and add a note in the pub note that it is unknown) or if you know what the currency was, add just a currency symbol ($ or C$ for example for US and Canadian dollar respectively). Thanks and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. :) Annie 15:42, 12 March 2020 (EDT)
Hi,
I just uploaded the cover scan so your two questions concerning the title should be solved (capital letters and subtitle). Please feel free to correct the Editorial thing. And thanks for the additional infos (seems logical to me). Thanks for taking your time and helping.
Franz Miklis 16:38, 12 March 2020 (EDT)
I will fix the subtitle then. While the cover is a good indication, we save titles based on the title page - thus me asking. The capital letters in this case are considered "stylistic choice" so they are going down indeed :) Annie 17:02, 12 March 2020 (EDT)
Allright, this is okay for me. I keep this in mind when submitting the next zines. Thanks for helping. Franz Miklis 13:49, 13 March 2020 (EDT)

Lynn Anne Godwin

You submitted a new publication with a cover artist named "Lynne Anne Godwin". Will you check to make sure it isn't Lynne Ann Goodwin? Thanks! ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:17, 17 March 2020 (EDT)

Hi, I took a look into the zine and the cover artist in the contents section is credited in fact "Lynne Anne Goodwin".
Sorry, my mistake
Franz Miklis 16:10, 17 March 2020 (EDT)
No problem. I've fixed it. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:40, 17 March 2020 (EDT)
Thanks, great. ...Franz Miklis 04:52, 18 March 2020 (EDT)

Future Magic, April 2005

Could it be that the publication date of this fanzine and all it's titles isn't 2005-07-00 but 2005-04-00 ? --Zapp 06:25, 18 March 2020 (EDT)

You are absolutely right, sorry, my mistake. Franz Miklis 07:36, 18 March 2020 (EDT)

Galacto-Celtic Newsflash and titling

Hi, Franz! Please use the standard rules for English titles as described in the help pages: most words have to be capitalized. I'll correct some of the entries, please do so in the future. Thanks, Christian Stonecreek 04:53, 20 March 2020 (EDT)

Hi Christian. Okay, I´ll look to it. Sorry for producing additional work for you. Thanks, Franz Franz Miklis 10:09, 20 March 2020 (EDT)

Your Traumwelten

Hi, Franz! I have two questions regarding this publication: 1) I'd think that this is not a FANZINE but a NONFICTION (as referred to above, FANZINE would be in essence the same as MAGAZINE, only fan-published). We have no such differences for NONFICTION (or other title types), be it professionally published or not. 2) If so, the format A5 should be either tp or digest (depending on the binding), and actually per cover image the format seems to be more quadratic than A5 (!?).

Hope all's going well in Austria! Christian Stonecreek 02:45, 30 March 2020 (EDT)

Hi, Christian. "Traumwelten" wasn´t easy to define, but I think you`re right with NONFICTION. Based on the format (21.00 x 21.00 cm), light and staple-bound, this issue maybe seems nearer to be "ph" than "A5". Anyway, please feel free to change things to the best standards to ISFDB as you decide.

Here in the hilly north of Austria all is okay so far. Stay well. Franz Miklis 08:14, 30 March 2020 (EDT)

Okay, changed according to your suggestions. I also made the essay 'Dreamworlds' into a variant of 'Traumwelten'; hope this was correct. Christian Stonecreek 08:50, 30 March 2020 (EDT)
Absolutely correct! Looks good, thanks Christian. Franz Miklis 09:14, 30 March 2020 (EDT)

Science Fiction Monthly Review, #9, February 1983

Hello Franz,

A few small changes to this record

  • We need a comma after the name of the magazine and before its number and date (so we can build the grid here). I added the missing comma before #9
  • I removed "n.e.V" from the end of the publisher. These tend to change when laws change without changing the publisher so we tend to remove them. If you insist on them being there, I will be more than happy to restore them.
  • I moved your note for the lack of cover price from the moderator note to the actual note.
  • While I was around anyway, I added the series so that the grid above can be built :)

Let me know if you have any questions and thanks a lot for adding these. Annie 16:42, 20 April 2020 (EDT)

Hello Annie, your changes are welcome, of course (I already wondered about that "n.e.V"). Thanks, Franz Miklis 13:56, 21 April 2020 (EDT)

Orbiting the Black Universe

Hello, I found Your verified fanzine with a review of a title that is not to be found. Also the author's name "Larry Blezak" is not listed in OCLC, Amazon, google or any other database. So I wonder if there might be a typewriting error? Or can You give more informations about? --Zapp 05:40, 19 May 2020 (EDT)


Hi Zapp. You´re right. Steve Sneyd wrote at the review of "Orbiting the Black Universe":

I fixed the error 'Blezak' into Blazek. --Zapp 09:26, 20 May 2020 (EDT)

Thanks Zapp, looks good. Franz Miklis 14:52, 20 May 2020 (EDT)

Larry Blezak

. But within the text he wrote: "Illustrated by the author´s own line drawings, this chapbook contains fifteen poems, most short, most science fictional.

Blazek

was the featured poet in "Uni Verse - The SF Poetry Showcase" in the British SF magazine "The Zone" ...

Some exceptional works: "Shapes Like Hubcaps", "Changer", "X-Rays of Darkness", "Bovine Shrine". (So we have two different versions) Hope this helped. Franz Miklis 12:53, 19 May 2020 (EDT)

I found The Zone #8 in ISFDB and a collection of Blazeks poems. But too bad, I couldn't find the reviewed publication. Or is the review about the magazine content? --Zapp 09:30, 20 May 2020 (EDT)
Let me chime in to see if I can help figuring out what we have here. Franz, is "Orbiting the Black Universe" the name of the essay that actually discusses various poems as opposed to a review of a single title/collection? If so, then this will need to be added as an essay instead and a note can be added to explain what it is about. Let me know if I understood your explanation above. Annie 12:51, 20 May 2020 (EDT)

Hi Zapp and Annie. I took another look and it (Orbiting the Black Universe) seems to be really a review of quite a rare chapbook by Larry Blazek, available free for SAE from: Opossum Holler, Tarot Press, 5094 N. County Road 750 E, Orleans IN 47452. See also the entry: "Reviews by Steve Sneyd". Thanks for your interest in rare publications, I like to dig out such pearls of SF .... Franz Miklis 14:49, 20 May 2020 (EDT)

Aha - that makes sense. Would you like to add this book to the DB so we can connect the review? And yep - it is one of the great things about working on the DB - you stumble on things like that. PS: The "Reviews by Steve Sneyd" here in the DB is just a list of what had been created as REVIEW titles - this one still needs connecting. :) Annie 15:10, 20 May 2020 (EDT)
Okay, I´ll give it a try, thanks Franz Miklis 12:36, 22 May 2020 (EDT)

Contents on the same page

When you have two or more items on the same page, you can order them by using | in the page field. For example 25|25.1 will get ordered after 25 (think of 25 as 25|25) - the number before the pipe (|) is what is shown in the contents; the one after the | is what is used for sorting. I added these here. That way if we ever change the default order, these will stay in place. You can use the same when there is no page numbers (ebooks for example) - just use |1, |2 and so on :) Thanks! Annie 13:57, 19 May 2020 (EDT)

Thanks Annie for these infos. I´ll recall. Franz Miklis 15:43, 19 May 2020 (EDT)

Numbering of same-named art

Hello,

I cleaned up the numbering here. We add the numbers after the title only if both the title and the author match. In this case, only one of the artists has 2 untitled so their second gets "2"; everything else is unique :) Annie 14:34, 2 June 2020 (EDT)

Apparently it was not you but another editor that changed the titles after you added the issue - apologies that we did not catch it before it was updated (and it had to be redone). All sorted out now :) Annie 14:44, 2 June 2020 (EDT)

Sounds reasonable, thanks Annie. Franz Miklis 13:10, 3 June 2020 (EDT)

Twink, #12, January 1999

Hello,

You forgot the comma again after the name of the magazine. :) Fixed now. However, can you look at the page number in the magazine? Considering all the other issues and the contents, 132 does not sound correct for some reason. Thanks! :) Annie 04:53, 6 June 2020 (EDT)

Hallo,

Sorry, yes, but I somehow suddenly fell out of the database, without being able to check the entry. So I´ll finish it now and look it up for typos (like the page numbering :). Thanks Annie, Franz Miklis 14:01, 6 June 2020 (EDT)

It happens. :) You may want to use the | syntax to order the contents on the same page (12|12.1, 12|12.2 and so on for example - the value before | is what is shown, the one after it is used for sorting). While it may work ok now, if we ever change the default sorting, it can change. Annie 16:32, 6 June 2020 (EDT)

[[Well, I´ll remember to use this | in the future. | Franz Miklis 17:43, 6 June 2020 (EDT)

Kopfgeburten, #4. Ex Machina

You own this pub with this interior art. Could it be that it is the same as this cover artwork ? It would be nice if You could have a look on it. And I suppose "Horvath" is the surname and "Akos" the given name? --Zapp 07:40, 8 June 2020 (EDT)


Hi Zapp, yes and yes: The questioned interior artwork and coverart of Akos Horvath is identical. And yes: Akos Horvath is a comman Hungarian first- and last name. Hope I was able to help, Franz Miklis 13:09, 8 June 2020 (EDT)

Thank You, I'll variant them. --Zapp 15:54, 10 June 2020 (EDT)
Sounds good, thanks Zapp Franz Miklis 17:19, 10 June 2020 (EDT)

Beyond SF - Anthologie

Is Anthologie the subtitle in this book? If so, you should be using : and not - for it and we usually skip things like "A Novel", "Roman" and so on as subtitles. :) Annie 04:46, 11 June 2020 (EDT)

Okay Annie, I let you decide the final view after you see the cover. ;) Franz Miklis 06:29, 11 June 2020 (EDT)

"Close to the Machine"

I changed a review in your verified Twink 12 from a review to an essay because it is a biography of a woman software engineer in the beginning of the computer age. The pub should not be part of the data base. Bob 20:31, 16 June 2020 (EDT)

This here is okay for me Franz Miklis 14:59, 17 June 2020 (EDT)

Graag! #6

Your verified pub Graag! #6 contains a series of what you have entered as "Reviews", all of publications that are not in ISFDB data base. Generally, when you enter reviews, they should always be in the data base. If they are not, then you should enter them yourself. If you cannot find the data for the publication, or the publication does not really belong in ISFDB data base (for example, it's a comic book or non-fiction by an author who is not already in the data base), then you need to change the "Review" to an Essay. In this particular case, with all the reviews apparently of non-ISFDB publications, then the publication you verified itself might not belong in the data base, and you should delete it. Bob 13:25, 17 June 2020 (EDT)

You mean to delete the whole pub? Or should I just change the reviews to essays? The pub is classically produced in the so called "Spiritusumdruck-Verfahren" (don´t know how you would call it), includes zine reviews and letters (like all typical zines) and one of my very rare covers. I rather would like to preserve this strange pub if possible for the future. And at least Dutch Jaap Boekestein is a well know author (here). Franz Miklis 14:56, 17 June 2020 (EDT)

You can change the reviews to essays; it would be better to enter the items reviewed into the data base where you can. If you are confident that the reviewed items are legitimate speculative fiction (for example, uncommon fanzines), but don't have enough information to put them into the data base, you definitely should just change the reviews to essays. Title of the essay might be "Review of the fanzine 'xx' by 'yy'" or some such. The problem with reviews of unidentified pubs is that they show up in Cleanup Reports and draw the attention of moderators like me. Bob 13:12, 18 June 2020 (EDT)

Okay Bob, I´ll take a look and will do so as proposed by you, thanks Franz Miklis 14:20, 18 June 2020 (EDT)

I'm confused by the conversation. Are these reviews of genre (by ISFDB standards) publications? If so, they should remain reviews. They should only be converted to essays if they are non-genre (non-speculative publications or movies or comics, etc). If they are genre, we can always create skeleton records if needed. We shouldn't be destroying valuable information (existence of genre pubs) simply because theses reviews show up on a clean-up report. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:45, 23 June 2020 (EDT)
So I took another look into the pub and found a wide range of topics, that are usual in those genzines, but I also stumbled across names and terms like Roger Zelazny, H.P. Lovecraft, Dhalgren, John Clute, NAPA, FAPA, DAPPER, Tand, Heinlein, Norman Spinrad, Batman, Flash... just to name a few. I guess you should decide how settle things... thanks
Franz Miklis 12:12, 24 June 2020 (EDT)
I'm holding your edit to Graag!, #6 that is changing the following reviews to essays:
  • 4 • Review: Tango in the Twilight by Jaap Boekestein • review by Mark Manning
  • 5 • Review: Der Schimmelreiter #2 by Nadja Tegen • review by Mark Manning
  • 6 • Review: The Flying American #3 by Morris Keesan • review by Mark Manning
My question is what type of items are being reviwed here? Are these genre publications are not? I would assume "Tango in the Twilight" is since Boekestein is an established author. Are you saying that Der Schimmelreiter & The Flying American are genzines? Or are you talking about Graag!? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:34, 24 June 2020 (EDT)
These are all genre publications, yes. Yours, Franz Miklis 13:57, 25 June 2020 (EDT)
I converted the two fanzine reviews to essays since we're not setup for reviews of magazines. I left the two books as reviews. Does the magazine provide any information on them (date, publisher, price) that could be used to generate a publication record? I didn't find much searching for the titles. -- JLaTondre (talk) 10:34, 27 June 2020 (EDT)
I looked already, but no informations to find. Seems to be rare. Thanks for the conversions/adaptions.Franz Miklis 12:52, 27 June 2020 (EDT)

Rhialto the Marvellous

In Your pv pub there is a Review of: "Rialto" the Marvelous but the collection is titled "Rhialto...". Could this be a typewriting error? --Zapp 17:34, 26 August 2020 (EDT) You´re right. It´s in fact a typo in the pub. Thanks for checking.Franz Miklis 12:21, 27 August 2020 (EDT)

Die lange Nacht

In your verified M-87, #4, could you please double check the author credit for the story on page 18? Is it Russel (as currently given) or Russell (with two l's)? This seems a translation of Russell's The Long Night. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 08:09, 29 December 2020 (EST)

I double checked M-87, and twice the name is written "Russel", so I took a look into the story if this could be a translation by Ray Russell: The story is about a certain "Argo III", it takes place on an asteroid called ZERO in the the year 2904. I hope this helps. Thanks. fm Franz Miklis 03:57, 6 January 2021 (EST)

Thanks. The details match. I have made it a variant and created an alternate name. I appreciate you having looked into this. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:57, 6 January 2021 (EST)

Excellent. It was my pleasure, fm Franz Miklis 14:34, 7 January 2021 (EST)

Bobbi ?

I made Bobbi Sinha a variant of Bobbi Sinha-Morey; however, there's 1 author, Bobbi Shina-Morey, who is obviously the same person. That misspelled name appears in a magazine you PV'd, so can you check and see if it's SINHA and fix if necessary? http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?767166 --Username 15:10, 6 August 2021 (EDT)

I´ve fixed it, sorry, my mistake. Thanks for finding. Franz Miklis 02:07, 7 August 2021 (EDT)
