Since there is already a [[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?VLTHNGSXTR2009 record]] of this book, and the US edition has the same ISBN, I cloned the existing record and added the data you submitted to create [[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?VLTHNGSXTB2009 this record]]. By doing it this way, all of the contents are shown. As to your changes to the title record, I kept the synopsis, but on anthologies that state an editor [some don't] that's the only name that goes in the "Author" field. It's unfortunate that the software displays the name as "Author" in the title record but it is correctly shown as "Editor" in the publication record. Would it be possible for yu to enter the page numbers of the stories in the contents section?

Welcome!
Hello, Angelmcc, 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:
- Help pages
- Help:Getting Started
- What the ISFDB Wiki is for
- ISFDB FAQ
- Wiki editing help - Tips on how to use the wiki-specific features when editing wiki pages.
- Wiki Conventions - How things are usually done on this wiki.
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! --Bluesman 15:10, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Vile Things
Since there is already a [record] of this book, and the US edition has the same ISBN, I cloned the existing record and added the data you submitted to create [this record]. By doing it this way, all of the contents are shown. As to your changes to the title record, I kept the synopsis, but on anthologies that state an editor [some don't] that's the only name that goes in the "Author" field. It's unfortunate that the software displays the name as "Author" in the title record but it is correctly shown as "Editor" in the publication record. Would it be possible for yu to enter the page numbers of the stories in the contents section? Thanks! ~Bill, --Bluesman 01:22, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Ravens in the Library
This was very interesting! Lost count of the websites I tried before finding one that showed the complete contents. Managed to dig up some more data on the publication itself from OCLC and managed to put together [this] record. I'm really hoping you have a copy and could add the page numbers so the contents display in the correct order. Right now they just show up in the order I typed them in [Ok, I cheated and copy/pasted them all!!]. Entered the song lyrics as poems as we have no other way other than 'shortfiction' which didn't seem appropriate. I am curious what the title is on the Title page, as that's what we use regardless of what the cover says. I am also curious as to how Brucato's contributions are listed, whether as by "Phil" or "SatyrPhil" as I ran across him referenced both ways for this book. One small thing: "tp" is the short-form we use for "trade paperback". The "Help" pages links above can explain most of the intricacies of editing here. Always feel free to ask questions.
