Galaxy's Edge - 2021

You still need to add the series here :) I did it on this one but the series is how we connect the different issues of the magazines basically :) Annie 16:07, 26 January 2022 (EST)

Now I am confused. I thought I did what instructed. I edited the Editor record that you linked (but first I looked around to see how I would get to that screen in the future), then changed the title to "Galaxy's Edge - 2021" and changed the date to "2021-00-00", added a mod note and submitted it. Then I noticed your message here. Did I do this correctly but you were faster at it? Or did I do it wrong? If the former, please be aware that I am still new to this and am cautious about hitting the submit button. I tend to think things out so that I understand the process for future edits. I still have several things to do regarding this magazine issue (Galaxy's Edge, January 2021); including doing a title variant for the serial, importing several stories and an essay that are reprints, connecting one essay to a series, connecting reviews that had minor differences in title, and of course dealing with the "A Scientist's Notebook" notes. But I am still very slow at it due to not wanting to do it wrong. If you would like to see a magazine entry that I think I completed correctly (though it already had an entry without content, so this example does not include my creating the whole entry from scratch), please look at the November 2020 issue. If I am doing anything wrong or incomplete, I would certainly like to know. The farther I get into this, the more past errors I will have to go back and clean up if I am doing it wrong. Thanks!

You did 2 of the three needed steps :)
  • Rename (you did that)
  • Fix date (ditto)
  • Add Series name in the Series field - that was missing :)
Yes, I know you are new and you jumped into one of our most complicated processes. Which is why instead of just fixing behind your back on approval (which I do for older editors), I came in and let you know that you missed a little tiny bit of a step in the process. I also merged it with the preexisting EDITOR with the same title as we already have some 2021 issues. Hope this makes sense. As the 2021 series entry already existed, you could have merged with no renaming - but going with rename/redate/series name never harms (and if it can be merged later, still works).
You are doing fine. No rush and I am not going to fix things unless you ask - and don't hesitate to ask for an advice or outright help if you get lost in something. Annie 16:41, 26 January 2022 (EST)
