Mirror, Mirror, on the Lam

You have verified two publications (one, two) containing Mirror, Mirror, on the Lam (two commas). You have also verified this publication containing Mirror, Mirror on the Lam (one comma). Would you please double check these and either variant (if same story & titles are different), merge (if same story & one of the records is wrong), or add notes explaining differences (if different stories)? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 20:21, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Third Time Lucky has ONE comma on the page with "previously published" page, but ToC and story itself has the two commas, more standard, so I merged them...

Second Chance at Eden cover merge

HI! You want to merge this cover[1] and this cover[2] which are clearly different. Am I missing something? Thanks!Kraang 02:41, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Actually, they're the SAME image, but you only see half of the wrap... sometimes it's left-to-right full-wrap, sometimes it's mirror-image right-to-left full wrap and sometimes they just show half the image without wrapping the image... but

Susan O'Fearna 06:27, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

OK! I see the new uploaded image . Will approve. Thanks!Kraang 01:56, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

cool, thanks! 02:26, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Sorry ...

... but I rejected one of your submissions that would have varianted a piece of art by Jim Burns to an essay (see your rejected submissions). Christian Stonecreek 06:47, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

I must have used the wrong code... I'll review them in the morning. Thanks Susan O'Fearna 06:49, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Joe Jusko's Edgar Rice Buroughs Collection

Hello, just in case note that you've entered this pub with Ken Kelly as artist. I also changed a "Caldwel" to "Caldwell". Can you also confirm the title "Boris 4: Magcificent Myths "? Cover of "The Artwork of Boris & Julie: Strokes of Genius" is credited to Boris alone, correct? Note that there will be much varianting to do. Hauck 05:45, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

now that they're approved I can fix my little errors like that and add "covers" as I go. thanks! Susan O'Fearna 05:58, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

A multitude of Paul Chadwick(s)

Hello Susan, I took the liberty to attribute this book to this Paul Chadwick instead of this one or even that one. Was I right? Thanks. Hauck 12:55, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes, though Paul Chadwick (1957-) is an artist... 17:22, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes, you're right. In fact I'm not sure that there are rules that cover such disambiguations, and "Paul Chadwick (1957-) (Artist)" seems a bit complex (add to this the fact that for a french like me an "artist" is any creative person). Hauck 17:26, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Thing is, I don't know if Paul Chadwick (Artist) is the SAME artist as Paul Chadwick (1957-) Susan O'Fearna 17:33, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

You're probably in better position than me to judge this (you're likely more familiar with his work). If so, we'll have to change the four record by the (artist) to the (1957-). Hauck 17:38, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Bit I didn't recognize the art I left at Paul Chadwick (artist)... Susan O'Fearna 18:25, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Trading cards sets editor

Hello, I've put some of your submissions on hald as the EDITOR given is the publisher itself. In such cases, it's better to use "uncredited" as you did here. If you agree, I can do the changes. Hauck 10:08, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I agree on all but the Boris 4 one... Susan O'Fearna 16:14, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

For this one, it's another reason, see here. Hauck 17:03, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! Susan O'Fearna 17:06, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Page count field

What does the "[M4]" and "[M5]" in the page count fields of this publication and this one represent? That field should only be used to indicate the number of pages in the publication and can only be a whole number. Alternately, it can be used to indicate the number of pieces in a portfolio. If the pages or pieces aren't numbered, only then should the number be bracketed. Mhhutchins 23:38, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

It's the way I was corrected when I added the Bob Eggleton -- they are the "chase" cards, part of the "pagination" (numbering) as extras... the numbers are (usually) 1-90 or 1-72 then the extras

Same question concerning the page count field of this publication. You should give the total number of cards in the set in brackets. If there are 100 unnumbered cards, the page count field should be entered as "[100]". You can use the Note field to describe the varieties of cards in the set. You've also misspelled "Magnificent". You'll have to correct the title fields of the publication record, the author record, and the coverart record. And the work should be credited to Boris Vallejo, not just "Boris". That's the title of the work, not the artist credit. Mhhutchins 23:42, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I knew about the misspelling of Magnificent, I just haven't had a chance to correct it yet... see the article just above this one... Susan O'Fearna

Found another one. Please go back to all of the publication records you've entered using this format and make a correction to the page count field. Mhhutchins 23:44, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

And another one. Also, it appears that you've credited the publication based on the title. Looking at image you've uploaded, the full names of the artists are given, so they should be given fully in the publication record. Mhhutchins 23:47, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll check 'em all out Susan O'Fearna 07:03, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

here's the link to the Bob Eggleton set but I can change those to regular integers... Susan O'Fearna 07:14, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Based on how the page count is given in that record, can it be assumed that there are a total of 96 cards: 90 of them are numbered 1 through 90, and the other 6 cards are unnumbered? Mhhutchins 15:46, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

I fixed several last night... working on the rest Susan O'Fearna 18:05, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Please answer what I asked about the Bob Eggleton set. Only then will I be able to determine if you're fixing them correctly. Thanks. Mhhutchins 18:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

The chase cards are numbered M1-M6, so the "regular" or base set is numbered 1-90 and the Metallic cards are numbered M1-M6, which is why'd I'd had 90+[M6] Susan O'Fearna 18:51, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

The count should be given as "90+6" since there are two ranges of numbers, each range being separately numbered. Brackets around a number indicate the pages/pieces are not numbered. Also, the content numbering in the publication record should not be given in brackets if the cards are numbered. The card numbered "M1" should be entered without brackets. You can use the pipe system to order the display. For example, the first metal card can be entered as "M1|90" which would display it after card #89. Mhhutchins 19:16, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Awesome... I've got several of these to fix then... Susan O'Fearna 19:21, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

"Promo" card

If the promo card in this publication isn't titled "Promo", it should probably be titled as "From Fantasy to Reality (promo card)". A work should be given the title as stated in the publication. If it isn't explicitly titled, it should be given the title of the publication in which it appears. A parenthetical description can be added but only when absolutely necessary. Otherwise use the Note field of the title record to provide a description of the work. Mhhutchins 21:49, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

The same rule applies for the three contents in this publication: Promo, Autograph, and Medallion. Mhhutchins 21:51, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Well, crap, now I have a few of THOSE to fix ... Susan O'Fearna 22:25, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

As I think about it, I formatted this like I would a Foreword... Foreword (work title)... which way's right? Susan O'Fearna 22:31, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

If a foreword is titled "Foreword" you enter it as "Foreword (Title of Work)". If it's not titled, you enter it as "Title of Work (foreword)". In the first case, you're disambiguating generically titled works to prevent accidental merges for otherwise identically titled works. In the second case, you're creating a title for an untitled content and adding a parenthetical description. Mhhutchins 23:17, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Then they *would* be the way I have them as these cards are labelled Promo or Autograph, Medallion... Susan O'Fearna 23:22, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

If you had responded to my original post that it was titled "Promo", it would have saved a lot of my time. Mhhutchins 00:35, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
