Your submission of Three-lobed Burning Eye Annual I

Thank you for entering the data for this work. There are a few minor issues I want to call to your attention. None of them prevent me accepting this edit, however.

1. You give an image URL of http://www.legionpress.com/images/3LBEi_cov_med.jpg. However, as it says in ISFDB:Image linking permissions, the ISFDB links to cover images only on sites that have given the ISFDB explicit permission to do so, or sites whose own stated policies or terms of use grant such permission. The domain http://www.legionpress.com/ has not, as far as I know, granted such permission.

   The best thing to do in such cases is usually to download a copy of the image to one's own computer, and then uploade it to the ISFDB's server, and link to that copy. See Help:How to upload images to the ISFDB wiki for details on this process. I will do this for the cover image in this case.

2. You listed three people, "Rew X", "Joachim Luetke", and "Andrew Shorrock" in the Artist field. However this field is intended to be used only for the Cover artist(s), and multiple names should be listed only when the cover is the work of more than one person. Art that is not cover art is credited with a content record of type INTERIORART. See Help:Screen:EditPub#Artist and Help:Screen:EditPub#EntryType (the section on INTERIORART) for more details.

   Again i will correct this after I have approved the submission, but please be aware of the matter for the future.

3. You entered the binding (pub format) field as "softcover". This is not a code we use. The main codes the ISFDB uses in this field are "pb" for mass-market paperbacks, "tp" for larger trade paperbacks, and "hc" for hardcovers. For more details, and for the less common codes, see Help:Screen:EditPub#Pub Format (Binding)

   I will change this to "tp". If you have reason to think that this might be in mass-market pb format, please change it to "pb" or let me know.

4. Prices are entered with dollars and cents, so "$15.00" not "$15". This is a minor matter, easily fixed, and i will fix it.
5. I notice that you did not enter page numbers. I presume that you were working from the content list on the publisher's web site. If you have an actual copy of the book, please do enter the page numbers for each item.
6. I notice that you listed each content item as a "short story". For the ISFDB, "short story" means a work of under 7,500 words (roughly). Do you have reason to think that none of the works are significantly longer than this? if you are unsure of the length of a work in an anthology, it can be left blank, which will code as "sf" for shortfiction of unknown length. See Help:Screen:EditPub#Length for more detail.

Again thank you very much for entering this anthology, and I hope you will make further contributions to the ISFDB. Welcome to editing. -DES ^Talk 14:34, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

I have approved the submission and made the required changes. The result is here. Please look it over and correct any errors that may remain. The cover image is located at Image:THRLBDBRNN2002.jpg. Again thank you. -DES ^Talk 14:50, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks, DES. This will help me to make proper entries as I add the next three volumes. As the editor, I have all original artwork and print editions to reference. Could you answer for me as well, whether there is a way to enter my new publication, a short story e-book? It has a publisher and ISBN Asfuller 22:28, 18 September 2010 (UTC)ASF
