Welcome!

Hello, ErickSoares3, 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:

Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.

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! Stonecreek 03:46, 8 May 2018 (EDT)

Inferno

I made a couple changes to your verified publication Inferno. Changed the price to the list price. Added the translator templates to both the publication and title records. Changed the date from 2013-05-01 to 2013-05-13 (your note says source of data is Amazon so I used the Amazon.com.br date). Let me know and I'll reverse any change you don't agree with.

All right, thanks!! ErickSoares3 (talk) 15:03, 22 January 2023 (EST)

A note on ebooks

I notice you've added a couple of electronic magazines with page numbers. For electronic-format publications (ebooks), we don't add page numbers (not meaningful for ebooks). Since your recent submissions were accepted (in error), may I ask you to review them and remove the total number of pages, as well as the page numbering of the Contents? if you like, you can always retain the information by transferring it to the notes. Thanks in advance, Regards, MagicUnk (talk) 13:02, 10 March 2023 (EST)

Hi! So, it is supposed to look like this? I can review the rest tomorrow and there are still some texts that I want to do the translation connection (but first, I'm waiting for the "translator template" to be accepted). For some reason, the first magazine is still to be accepted. ErickSoares3 (talk) 15:16, 10 March 2023 (EST)
That first issue: it may be because you are trying to add two collections into that magazine -- which is... weird. Why are there two of them (translation and original?) and what are they supposed to be? Short stories? I can approve it as soon as I know how to fix it :) Annie (talk) 15:28, 10 March 2023 (EST)
Hi! There are two of them because the magazine publishes both versions (original and translation - in this case, one in French and one in Portuguese) side by side. It is described as a collection of short stories, but seeing at Amazon, the original collection has far more shorts stories than what the magazine have for this specific author (see here) - is weird why the original work in this side doesn't cite all the texts. It may be better to hold it or just cancel it and I will submit it again. ErickSoares3 (talk) 15:43, 10 March 2023 (EST)
You cannot add a collection in a magazine - we have a somewhat of an exception for the Italian magazines because of how we classified them but outside of it, you need to add the individual stories and not the collection. So yes - cancel it and resubmit with the correct types and titles. Annie (talk) 15:49, 10 March 2023 (EST)
Done! ErickSoares3 (talk) 15:54, 10 March 2023 (EST)
I also had to fix this one, since it was accept with two collections inside the magazine. ErickSoares3 (talk) 04:51, 11 March 2023 (EST)
Review complete. ErickSoares3 (talk) 05:32, 11 March 2023 (EST)

Variant lengths

Translation variants always get the length of the parent (note the yellow warnings in your submissions). I have corrected yours as I approve them. In the future, please update the length field when you add the translator template.

I'm holding this submission. Why are you removing the translator template? John Scifibones 16:51, 13 March 2023 (EDT)

Look at the times and the history in such cases, John. He is not removing them, he is trying to add them, albeit without a template. This update added them after the submission was added. And as the MakeVariant is also after the submission, the length at this point may have been unknown (no warnings for sure) if the original had not been identified yet. I suspect that was true for a lot of the submissions in that batch. Annie (talk) 17:13, 13 March 2023 (EDT)
Hello! Is basically what Annie said. I thought that when two translators are credited, you had to put "Translated by X and X" instead of Template:Tr. ErickSoares3 (talk) 09:02, 14 March 2023 (EDT)
No problem. Since another editor added the translator template, resubmit your edit adding the archive link. John Scifibones 09:08, 14 March 2023 (EDT)
Done! ErickSoares3 (talk) 15:39, 14 March 2023 (EDT)
Approved. Thanks, John Scifibones 18:19, 14 March 2023 (EDT)

Pense em Phlebas / Player of Games

Hi, I noticed this on the forthcoming books section of the homepage - surely it's a translation variant of Consider Phlebas, not Player of Games? ErsatzCulture (talk) 17:38, 15 March 2023 (EDT)

Hello! I was just as confused as you. Amazon says that the second book is "Pense em Phlebas" and that O Jogador (Player of Games) was released in 2021. The publisher's website also gives Pense em Phelbas as book 2 and O Jogador as book 1. ErickSoares3 (talk) 06:57, 16 March 2023 (EDT)

O Tico-Tico edits

Hi Erick -

I've been approving a number of your edits adding the magazine. There are a couple of things that should have been entered a little differently. There is also a further step with magazines that needs to be done.

  • When you enter a Magazine, you should include the magazine title series in the Series field in the the title. I've fixed this for the ones that I've already approved creating a series name "O Tico-Tico". Please keep this in mind when you enter future magazines.
  • When you enter a SERIAL, you need to add a disambiguation in the title. See the SERIAL section in this help template. I have not added this to the Viagens Maravilhosas do Dr. Alpha titles by Oswaldo Silva. Please update these titles adding something like "(Part 1 of 6)" to each title. You should probably update the INTERIORART titles as well unless it is a single illustration that is repeated in each issue. If the titles are identical, these will appear as potential duplicates and someone may try to merge them, which is not what we want if they are different illustrations.
  • Lastly, after a magazine is added, the EDITOR title record that is created should be changed to have the title "<MAGAZINE NAME> - <YEAR>", or if such a title already exists, the new EDITOR title should be merged with that one. I have updated the title of one of the EDITOR record and merged the others that have been approved so far for 1907. If there are more in the queue, I can leave those in case you want to try merging them.

Thanks for adding these issues. Our magazine rules are a little tricky to get used to and I hope this helps. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 11:43, 16 March 2023 (EDT)

Hello!
On the "Part X of X" subject: since the archive doesn't have all the magazines digitized, is almost impossible to known how many parts are supposed it to be (there are a lot of missing chapters, and we don't know when the first and last chapter was published) - is such a forgotten work that we don't even known when the author died. In those cases, we should add specify the chapter? On the illustrations, those are all different in each issue. I will look at the rest now. My health wasn't well in the last few days, so I'm not going to force myself to do too much too quickly. ErickSoares3 (talk) 12:04, 16 March 2023 (EDT)
Hope you are feeling better or will be soon. Not knowing the total number of installments of a serial happens and you can do "(Part 1 of ?)". I would suggest using your best guess for the first number. Either by extrapolating from the other issues. As a last resort, you can just continue the numbering from the last known number and add a note to the title record that the numbering is a best guess based on available data. No hurry on fixing these. Please take your time and proceed when you feel up to it. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 12:37, 16 March 2023 (EDT)
Thanks, I'm starting to feel better! I'm adding the chapters in roman number (as the original) and the "continuação" (when it is following up a past chapter). But what you have said seems a better option for now, so later I will rework it. Non related to "O Tico-Tico", how is a variant for a serial supposed to be added? Like the work Aranca, from this author: first released as a serial in 1928 and then as a short story in 1929. ErickSoares3 (talk) 12:44, 16 March 2023 (EDT)
The same way you variant anything else: Go to the serial, go to "Make This Title a Variant" and in Option 1, add the story ID 2001364 (the story). If the full story did not exist yet, then use Option 2 instead, remove the (Part X of X) from the title, add the correct date and change the type of the parent to short fiction. :) Annie (talk) 12:56, 16 March 2023 (EDT)
