Malformed serial titles
Have these titles appeared on this list simply because the "p" in "(Part x of y)" or the "c" and "n" in "(Complete Novel)" isn't capitalized? Will capitalizing be enough to remove the "error" in those cases? Same thing with the use of brackets instead of parentheses? Also, I recall creating the record for In Polar Seas (and its pseudonymous variant) just as a placeholder for the title (it appeared on a list of important lost race novels). Without creating 19 pub records (!) for a serial in a non-genre magazine, what is the best way to handle situations like this? Thanks. MHHutchins 04:50, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
