Welcome!

Hello, Joe H., 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! Hauck 04:07, 27 March 2018 (EDT)

Weird Worlds, #1

Hello, I've approved your submission. I've just had to delete the "Series Number" that is not used for magazine and to merge the already existing texts (Asimov, Finney, Bradbury and some covers). The result is here, you can check it and eventually add a cover and some other details (a price for example). Thanks for contributing. Hauck 04:13, 27 March 2018 (EDT)

Thank you! Unfortunately, there wasn't any price on the magazine -- it wasn't sold in stores, but was available for order through the Scholastic Book Club. It only ran for eight issues; I have copies of all eight now, and plan to enter them (and upload covers) as time permits.

Oh, also, the editor "Bob Stine" is R.L. Stine of Goosebumps fame -- what needs to be done to merge the two records? Thanks! Joe H. 07:54, 27 March 2018 (EDT)Joe H.

I've created a pseudonym and done the varianting. Hauck 08:03, 27 March 2018 (EDT)

And one other question, as I think about it -- the piece in the magazine called The Villagers' Victory is a short graphic novel/comic book story. Did I list it correctly (a primary listing for the writers and an interior art listing for the illustrator)? Joe H. 08:00, 27 March 2018 (EDT)Joe H.

We do not list these, I've deleted it and kept only the INTERIORART record. Hauck 08:03, 27 March 2018 (EDT)

Thank you! That's what I'll do with future issues, then. Joe H. 08:06, 27 March 2018 (EDT)Joe H.

Weird Worlds, #4

Hello, I've approved your submission and made some changes (disambiguation, numbered interiortart, changed Harry to Henry Slesar, merged titles, put the title in its proper series). The result is here. As for what to include, it's up to you (except some no-go items like comic strips). Personnally, I tend to skip all the "uncredited" recurring items that do not have (IMHO of course) any bibliographic value. Hauck 11:39, 27 March 2018 (EDT)

Thank you! I'll take a look and make notes for when I enter the remaining issues. Joe H. 12:07, 27 March 2018 (EDT)Joe H.

Weird Worlds #7

Please check the ISBN in this submission as it gives a bad checksum (meaning it's an invalid ISBN). Thanks! ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:23, 6 April 2018 (EDT)

I checked and that's what's printed on the magazine -- I'm guessing there's a typo in the original printing?

Also, for both this one and Weird Worlds #6 [1], I should have actually checked the "I own this publication" box -- I have copies of both of them. Would that be something you'd be able to fix for me? Thanks! Joe H. 22:17, 6 April 2018 (EDT)Joe H.

Also, the series should show Weird Worlds (Scholastic) Joe H. 22:46, 6 April 2018 (EDT) Joe H.

Looks like it was because you typed the "x" lowercase. I changed it to uppercase and the problem went away. To indicate you have a copy, go the publication record and click the "Verify This Pub" link in the Editing Tools menu on the left. You can add the series to the title record for each record. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 13:13, 10 April 2018 (EDT)

Thanks! I'll take care of it. Joe H. 13:39, 10 April 2018 (EDT)Joe H.

Dark of the Moon & God Stalk

I am holding both of these submissions. [2] and [3]. These are verified publications with at least one very active editor (GlennMcG). You have made no attempt to discuss this and reach agreement on either. Dark of the Moon requires a note in addition to changing the credit. God Stalk may not warrant cover art credit, but a note with your analysis is not unreasonable. Take a minute to review the relevant help. John Scifibones 18:07, 23 July 2022 (EDT)

Yes, I'll reach out. Didn't mean to overstep. Thanks! Joe H. 09:57, 25 July 2022 (EDT)
No problem. When posting to an existing thread, use the 'edit' link on the same line as the thread title rather than '+'. This will identify what thread you are responding to. Also, use a colon to indent your responses, adding one for each level. Notice how I added one to your post here and two to mine. Makes the threads much easier to follow.
