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! Mhhutchins 00:56, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
Startling Mystery Stories
I accepted the submission, making a couple of corrections to conform to ISFDB standards, and adding further information from the Miller/Contento magazine index, along with a cover scan from Galactic Central. The record is here.
- Added the date of the issue to the title of the pub record (March 1971)
- Corrected the date of the issue and story contents from 1971-00-00 to 1971-03-00
- Changed the editor to Robert A. W. Lowndes (Is this how he's credited in the pub?)
- Changed the price from $.75 to $0.75 (ISFDB standards).
- Corrected the author of "The Golden Patio" to Aubrey Feist.
- Corrected the title of the story by Douglas to "Drome of the Living Dead".
- Deleted the data you placed in the publication series field. (Volume and numbers are not a publication series.) The info was moved to the notes field.
- Added the page count, magazine format (digest), volume information, the starting page numbers for each story, story size designations and the additional novella by Leinster, all from Miller/Contento.
Please check to see if these changes match your copy of the issue. If so, please do a primary verification. Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins 01:10, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
