Out of the Deeps

Re this publication: Could the spine number be "345-01639-075" which would match the front cover catalog number? Mhhutchins 21:37, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

I knew my eyesight was getting bad, but when you can see it better from there than I can here ... Doug 22:18, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Maybe I'm just right there looking over your shoulder. Ever thought of that? :) Mhhutchins 22:57, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Chocky

Re this record: I removed the note about the original data source. If you're updating a record for a book-in-hand, and you didn't use any secondary source for any of the data fields, remove any note about another source for the data. From your note to moderator I assumed this has no indication of being a TV tie-in, so I removed that as well. Mhhutchins 00:38, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Zelazny's Isle of the Dead

Please look at this record and see whether it matches your copy. If so, please cancel your current submission and do a verification of that record. Thanks. Mhhutchins 01:51, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Verified and cancelled. Doug 03:31, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

A Dance with Dragons.

Yes, I put a non-image in. I don't seem to be able to edit the edit and don't want to type all that back in again. Can you approve and either include this image or let me put it in myself after approval. Please? Doug 16:31, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

No one can edit an edit, not even a moderator. We can only accept it, reject it or hold it. I accepted the submission, and there's a link to the record below. You now have the option to edit the record.

BTW, this message should have been posted on the Moderator Noticeboard to get the attention of a moderator. I didn't see it until after I'd posted the message below. (We don't check messages left on every editor's talk page, only those with whom we've recently posted a message.) 16:36, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

A Dance With Dragons

A few problems with this record: The link to the cover image is broken. Also, the pagination of the contents aren't consistent with ISFDB standards. If the novel starts on the third page of a range of Arabic numbered pages, it should not be bracketed. Same thing with Roman numbered pages. If there are Roman numbered pages, those should be part of the Page Count field as well. Thanks. Mhhutchins 16:32, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Also the "(interior art)" disambiguation is unnecessary, since the record is typed as INTERIORART. We only disambiguate certain types of interior art (like maps). Mhhutchins 16:38, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Duplicate Title Records

I have merged quite a few duplicate title records that resulted from your verified The Tolkien Reader and The Silmarillion. When entering the contents for a publication, one of the following needs to be followed:

1. If it is a new version of an existing publication, the existing publication should be cloned. This will copy over the existing contents of the publication. See: Help:How to clone a publication
2. If you are adding contents to an existing publication and that publication has the same contents as another, you should import the contents of the other publication. See: Help:Screen:ImportContent
3. If neither of the above are suitable and you have to manually add contents (that already exist in the database) to a publication, then you need to merge the resultant new title record with the existing title record. See: Help:How to merge titles

This avoids having duplicate listings on the author's page for the same title. For a same title (where same is both the title name and content), we want a single listing that contains all publications with that title. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:35, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Nation and Snuff

I have approved these two pubs, but I wonder if they are standard size mass market paperbacks or "tall and narrow" paperback, which we enter as "trade paperbacks"? Ahasuerus 04:01, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Standard 7" x 4.25" Doug 16:50, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! Ahasuerus 20:55, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

The Stand

It's very likely that you have a book club edition for which we already have a publication record. Can you look to see if there is an impression in the back board of the book? They're usually about an eighth-inch in size. Here's a web page and there's a section titled "Identifying Book-of-the-Month Club Editions". I'll hold your submission until we determine if it's a BCE. Thanks. Mhhutchins 19:37, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

The only, but telling, indicator is the gutter code. Last physical page, facing the back cover written vertically "RD 1 W". Assuming I'll be verifying the BOMC publication, should I make notes about the pre-existing and unverified state of the artist, publisher, date and price? Doug 19:49, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Yes, but leave the Locus1 source for data that is not present in the book itself. The verification itself will represent those fields which are not mentioned in the Note field. Mhhutchins 20:54, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

One other small point - this is a hardcover, mine is a trade paperback. Doug 13:48, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I missed that. That makes it an even greater certainty of being a book club edition, since it has the ISBN of the original hardcover edition. It was probably printed for the Quality Paperback Book Club (the softcover division of the Book-of-the-Month Club back in the days before they all merged as Bookspan.) I'll accept the submission and make the necessary changes in the publisher data, move the ISBN to the Note field, etc. Look over it when I've finished and add any other pertinent data. Thanks. Mhhutchins 17:18, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

I accepted it. (Here's your record.) Then I noticed we already had a record for the QPBC edition. I'll delete that one and move any missing data over to your record and provide the source. Mhhutchins 17:23, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Added my cover image and now we're done. A couple of loaners still out, but that's my skiffy collection. Give it a break for a bit and then we'll put in the Doc Savage and Edgar Rice Burroughs special collections. Thanks. Doug 18:32, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle His Last Bow but one

At Hauck's suggestion, I'll create a new record and suppress the previous one. Please verify it again once it's in. Thanks. Linguist 21:08, 2 November 2014 (UTC).

Done Doug 18:33, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

The Sword of Bheleu

Re the cover art of this publication: Is it credited to "Lawrence" or Laurence Schwinger? Thanks for checking. Mhhutchins 07:10, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Updated. Doug 17:25, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

So shouldn't the note also be corrected? Mhhutchins 21:55, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Of course. So I (just) did. What's the sheepish smiley? Doug 03:02, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

The Surveillance

Please see your verified The Surveillance. The cover art shown is for McCaffrey's All the Weyrs of Pern. Did you copy the wrong link? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 23:46, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

"The Order War", by L. E. Modesitt, Jr.

You entered a 3rd printing of the Tor edition of this book on March 4th, and then entered it again on March 24th, with slightly different notes added. I would encourage you to combine the notes (probably into the one for which you have the cover image) and then delete the other one. (Otherwise, one of them will eventually be deleted.) Chavey 10:37, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Done. I knew it was a new publication March 4th, but couldn't finish the entry because someone borrowed the book. When they returned it, I used my notes to create the publication, forgetting I'd already done so. Doug 13:05, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! Chavey 17:28, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Grave Peril

Re this publication: If a book's format doesn't fit comfortably within the types available in the dropdown menu, choose "other" and then describe its binding/format in the Note field. No primary verified record should have "unknown" as a format. Thanks. Mhhutchins|talk 23:18, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Got distracted by research into whether the new taller paperback format was still trade (tp) or going to be a new format (pp?). Updated the field along with the content and image. Thanks for keeping me on the straight (tall?) and narrow. Doug 14:09, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Science Fiction Chronicle, August 2002

Thanks for creating a record for this publication. As you've discovered, they are pretty time-consuming. A few questions:

Is this a single letter written by the two people, or is it two letters? If the latter, they must be entered as two separate records, otherwise it looks like a collaborative effort.

Two separate letters. So would they go in with the same title or do I try to incorporate the author name? Or should I even include the letters - the names don't appear to have linked to the existing author names. Doug 19:07, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

There would be two separate records. Each one would be titled "Letter (Science Fiction Chronicle, August 2002)" and each would be credited to their author. Mhhutchins|talk 20:09, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Is this credited to several people, or is it not credited at all?

Two parts (Arthur C. Clarke Award, UK Report) have author names (Same one - Paul Kincaid), the remaining sections (Bram Stoker Awards, Chesley Awards, 2002 Mythopeoic Awards, Sunburst Awards, Sturgeon Awards, Golden Duck Awards, 2002 Book Expo, Clarifications & Corrections and a huge NewsNotes) have none. Kincaid is a Contributing Editor, while Andrew I. Porter is the News Editor. Doug 19:07, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Then "various" is fine. I would personally argue that such a content record has no value (it winds up on the author page for "various".) A note should suffice. But yours is a legitimate option. Mhhutchins|talk 20:09, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

A magazine typed as "quarto" always has a page count in multiples of 4. Did you count both the front and back covers (per ISFDB standard for periodicals)?

As I tried to say in the notes, page count starts on 3 (front cover is 1/2 by implication) and ends on 50 (back cover unnumbered). The issue I modelled my entry on stated only 50 pages which is what I'd have done in a book. Counting back cover there are 52 pages. Should I change mine? (I still have the image and a Canadian price to enter.) Doug 19:07, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

When you say "page count starts on 3" you actually mean the pagination starts on "3". There's a subtle but important difference between page count and pagination. The ISFDB standard for page counts of books and periodicals differ. In magazines, you count every page, including the covers, without regard to how the pages are numbered. Mhhutchins|talk 20:09, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

I had to make a few corrections. Changed "L. E. Modesitt Jr. " to L. E. Modesitt, Jr. (the comma is required or it won't match with the author already in the database, so creating a new author.) And then had to manually link the review to the title. Same situation with "Gerrard Houarner" and "Dragonès Island " by Williamson. Any variation in author or title and the system can't link a review to a title. I actually had to link more than a dozen reviews because of the mismatch.

Sorry about the extra work. I thought I had to enter them as typed in the review. And Dragonès probably came from my Canadian keyboard - timing in hitting shift/alt/ctrl can wreak havoc. I noticed that Bjorn Nyberg also missed due to the missing accent. I'd intended to fix these once approval was granted (hoping I wouldn't have to re-submit. Doug 19:07, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

As the standards state, when entering reviews the ISFDB editor should use the published title and author credit of the work, not the ones stated in the review. Of course, that doesn't mean you have to look through the database to find the proper title and author of each work reviewed. That's why we have the ability to manually link. I think your Canadian keyboard caused other unusual entries (something about the apostrophes didn't match!) Mhhutchins|talk 20:09, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

If the pieces at the end are obituaries, as I suspect, please update each title record and add series data for "Science Fiction Chronicle Obituary".

There is an SFC Obituary series already existing, but I saw no place to put that in the publication data. My model did not include them in the title. I presumed I'd have to wait for the approval and then go back and link them in. I think it's true of the editorial as well. Doug 19:07, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Yes. You can't add series data to titles when creating a publication record. Series data can only be added once the title has been created. That's why I said you had to "update" the title records, not "enter" the series data at the time of its creation. Mhhutchins|talk 20:09, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks again. Mhhutchins|talk 18:31, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

The Crystal Palace by Phyllis Eisenstein.

Hello. I updated the the Notes area with some more information. See here [5]. Also, Richard Hescox has the cover artwork on his website (here [6]). Perhaps that could be indicated to verify the image? --Randy Rns1963 15:24, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

R Is for Rocket

I approved you edit to R Is for Rocket, but then made an edit to remove the following two lines from the notes:

• Notes from copy (transient)
• Confirm gutter code, first edition note.

Information is expected to be from the book and source notes are only needed for secondary sources. As such, these statements are superfluous. However, some of the notes reference secondary sources which is contradictory to the first note. If the information is in the book, the notes should be edited to remove the secondary source references. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:48, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Linking reviews

Hello, when you enter reviews (as you likely did for this issue), please rememeber to see if the reviews are correctly linked to the titles reviewed. If not, they appear on our cleanup reports and must be corrected by a moderator. Thanks. Hauck 10:17, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm curious about timing. After entry and approval, I know I have an image to import and some series to connect (e.g. editorials, obituaries). I don't expect moderators to approve within an hour and expect that it may be a day or three before I get back to complete an issue. Meanwhile, I'm likely to enter another issue or two. At what point am I causing additional work for the moderators? Is there anything I can put in the Note to the Moderator that would simplify things? Doug H 21:07, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Well, timing to exploit the cleanup reports (that are produced once a day) depends on the available moderator workforce (and as we're spread around the globe also of the hour of the day), just add a short message on the "Notes to Moderator" along the lines of "To be continued...". Hauck 07:19, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Is there a way to enter preferred title (Science Fiction Chronicle - 1988) when I create the issue? Or do I have to go in and update the title after the fact? Or do I create the New Magazine while positioned under the title for the year in which it occurs (begging the question of how to enter it when the year doesn't exist yet). Sorry for all the 'newbie' questions but I don't generally read/enter magazines, but inherited a stack that I figured should be entered before I get rid of them. Doug H 21:41, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

I've seen this approach (enter under the yearly title) only by one contributor. As it's not perfect (you'll still have to merge all those yearly titles as there will be one for each magazine) and not evident for the moderator. IMHO the simplest (and clearer for a moderator) is the two-step procedure (create the issue then merge it to the yearly title). It may even happen that the moderator will do the second phase for you (I know, I usually do this ;-)). Hauck 07:19, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Science Fiction Chronicle, 153

Hello, can you link (or in this case probably create) the record for this reviewed book? thanks. Hauck 15:40, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Will take a look. Doug H 15:42, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

I've submitted my best try. Doug H 18:05, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Yep, fixed (there were much varianting to do and adding of the contents). Hauck 18:12, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

I wondered about contents, but it seemed self-referential. I'll try sticking to the stuff I have in hand. Doug H 18:15, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

In fact a CHAPBOOK must have a content (if not, it will appear on our cleanup reports) and a review mustn't be linked to a CHAPBOOK but to the text that it contains (if not, it will appear on our cleanup reports). Hauck 18:19, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

So for a single title content chapbook, there will two titles - one for the book (which has a publication by the same name) and one for the story. So if I'd added the title as content, would it have rendered this Gordian knot by its lonesome, or would one of you mediators (moderators?) have had to intervene? Doug H 19:47, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

If so, It would have been OK (or so I suppose, there may still have been a linking problem). Hauck 06:49, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Linking reviews

Hello, there are quite a lot of reviews to link in your recent additions of SFC, can you attend to them? (They languish in diverse cleanup reports). Thanks. Hauck 08:12, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Don't mind in the least - did some digging and found out how. Doug H 02:59, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

I've corrected some links (mostly Lovecraft's) because a review cannot be linked to a CHAPBOOK record but must be linked to the SHORTFICTION title that it contains. I don't if the mistake comes from the automatic linking system or if it's an information that you didn't have. Hauck 11:21, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Science Fiction Chronicle

I made some changes to your Science Fiction Chronicle records.

• Science Fiction Chronicle, #188 February 1996 - corrected the spelling of Science & February in the title
• Science Fiction Chronicle, #190 October 1996 - Changed "Mark Cotta" to "Mark Cotta Vaz" on the review on page 82 (plus added a note) per our standards. If you still have the pub and this was an error in the entry, please remove the note.
• Science Fiction Chronicle, #177 October 1994 - Corrected the spelling of Estleman on the review on page 47 (there was already a note regarding the original credit)

Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:44, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Science Fiction Chronicle, #194 November 1997

In Science Fiction Chronicle, #194 November 1997, you have the editor as "Andrew Porter". The other ones you have been verifying have all been "Andrew I. Porter". Was this one different or is it an error in the database? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:01, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Fixed. I think this was the one that pre-existed, I just added the articles. Still, my bad. Doug H 14:09, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Five Weeks in a Balloon

Hi, the cover artist of this is Patrick Woodroffe, the original art is shown on page 118 of Mythopoeikon. Horzel 15:29, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Cover Artist

Hello, I've changed artist for Cadmian's Choice's cover. You could have done this by modifying author at cover title level here. It's greyed in the publication because the cover is used in two books and so is only changeable at an "upper" (database-wise) level. For Soarer's Choice please discuss the matter with the PV1 of the hc. Thanks. Hauck 06:51, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

I've notified the PV1 of Soarer's Choice and will follow through. I guess the method of updating the cover artist changed a while back. I saw the discussions on the Community Board but haven't seen it in action within the pub edit. My problem was that I wanted to change the pb but leave the hc alone. Normally I'd have changed both (if I'd known how and as you did), but since there was a similar discrepancy with the Soarer's Choice there was some question about what was going on. I'm not sure how merges of COVERART occur to give us two publications with the same title record, or how you'd split them if they turned out to be wrong. Hopefully I won't need to know. Doug H 16:03, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

In fact, as the hc isn't PVed, you're at the helm and it's totally OK if you change the credit on both books. A merge of covers works like any other merge and left you with only one title ID (the other being deleted) with two publications attached. Of course there are safeguards (cleanup reports) to see if there is no major discrepancies after such merges. Hauck 16:33, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Interviewee

When entering interviews, the interviewee must be entered as the author's canonical name due to the the way the software works. I had updated the interviews in both Science Fiction Chronicle, #182 May 1995 and Science Fiction Chronicle, #177 October 1994. As the interview title contained the credited interviewee name, I didn't bother adding notes, but that is an option if you prefer. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:31, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

And here I thought I was the only one working hard to get this pile of magazines entered and was feeling underappreciated. Sounds like there's a lot of cleaning up I'm causing. Thanks for this one and the pointer. I'll keep trying to do better. Doug H 19:00, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Afterword. Doug H 05:03, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. The copy you cloned had it backwards -- "The Lost Gate (Afterword)". After your confirmation I checked a couple of other editions on Amazon and found it to be "Afterword" there, too, so I changed that shared title to "Afterword (The Lost Gate)". This is your edition. --MartyD 11:39, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

The Dark Design

Cover artist for this is Don Ivan Punchatz, his signature can be seen on the original art here. Horzel 22:34, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for finding this and letting me know. Doug H 02:34, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Science Fiction Chronicle #199

Hi. I accepted Science Fiction Chronice #199, but I have a question: Does the magazine mix an abbreviation for October with a spelled-out November? The help isn't entirely explicit -- it says to spell out months (when adding dates) but to follow the format used in the magazine for multi-month issues -- but I'd be inclined to spell them both out unless the magazine mixes them like that. --MartyD 02:33, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Yes it does have the mixed abbreviating. The cover says Oct-Nov, but inside is as you saw. There's a couple edits to go (cover, etc.), so say the word and I'll make it full for both and add this to the note. Doug H 04:33, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

The Lost Road and Other Writings (The History of Middle-Earth, Vol. 5)

Hi, I've imported content for your verified copy of The Lost Road and Other Writings (The History of Middle-Earth, Vol. 5).--Dirk P Broer 03:01, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Andrew Porter / Andrew I. Porter

Hello, you've probably finished entering issues of this magazine so, just in case and for the future, remember to variant to "Andrew Porter" all titles that you attributed to "Andrew I. Porter", same for "Steven Sawicki" and "Steve Sawicki" (there was close to 100 titles involved). Thanks. Hauck 13:30, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

About 8 more copies to go. It's harder to find 2+ contiguous hours to enter one with the family around. I didn't know I needed to variant them directly given that both names are already present and one is a pseudonym of the other. I'll take a look at what's been done and see if I can figure out what you mean and how to do it. Doug H 16:09, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

You're right that there are both names in the db but this link is not automatically transferred when you enter a title by the pseudonym. To create such a link, go at the pseudonymistic title level then use the "•Make This Title a Variant Title or Pseudonymous Work" link and (for a new title) use the bottom part of the screen by changing the value of the Author1 field to the canonical name, this will create the necessary new title. You'll see that this must be done for each pseudonymistic title which may prove a long task. Hauck 09:36, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Changes needed to Assassin's Quest?

Hi, I recently verified the 7th printing of Assassin's Quest and noticed that the 18th printing you verified seems to need some updates.

1) You used the generic Amazon link for the cover, [here], and this has now changed to the new Alejandro Colucci cover which was released in mid-2014. It looks like yours had the older Steven Youll cover, so the link needs to be updated. The image that was on Amazon at the time you verified this was [this one]. The cover seems to have remained pretty much the same over the years, except for the part just under the author's name where it says "Author of xxxx." If you need another image, I will be glad to look through the Internet Archive for one.

2) Does your version also include a map and an excerpt of Ship of Magic, like the 7th printing? If it does, may I add them to your version?

Thanks! BungalowBarbara 05:22, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

I had verified the book as transient in 2009 and is one of the six books for which I did not keep a scan of the cover. So I have nothing other than what is on the entry. For what it's worth, the image you provided from Amazon looks familiar, whereas the current one does not. If you have any additional changes, feel free to make them and add them to the note. And thanks for both doing the checking and asking. Doug H 16:20, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply! According to the [author's blog] and the [ fan site The Plenty], the new covers did not come out until 2014. So it seems like a safe bet that yours had the old cover. I will update the cover and add the map, since as far as I can tell, all editions have that. Different editions might have had different excerpts so I won't add that. Thank you! BungalowBarbara 20:57, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

The Dig

I have added to the notes field of The Dig from my copy. MLB 10:28, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Bueno. Doug H 19:41, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

The Carpet People

Locus1 gives the printing date of The Carpet People as Apr 1993. Are you happy if I update the record accordingly? --AndyjMo 19:25, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Most happy to. As long as the notes so state. Thanks Doug H 19:39, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Pyramids

I've added the Canadian Price to Pyramids. --AndyjMo 17:27, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

It's my cover scan - hard to argue. Thanks. Doug H 20:30, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Interesting Times

Added the Publication Month to Interesting Times from Locus1. --AndyjMo 11:10, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Maskerade

I've updated the Publication Month for Maskerade from Locus1. --AndyjMo 16:58, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Feet of Clay

I've updated Feet of Clay with the sources of the Publication Month and Cover Artist. --AndyjMo 11:28, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Hogfather

I believe that your verified version of Hogfather is the same as this unverified version here. The only difference is that the unverified version has a Publication Month of November. Locus1 records the first Corgi printing as Nov 1997 which must be yours. Do you want me to delete the unverified version and update your version with the Month or do you want to do that? --AndyjMo 11:39, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Month transferred, unverified delete request submitted. I'll let you flag the Locus1 bit. Thanks Doug H 02:03, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Jingo

I've updated Jingo with the Publication Month from Locus1. --AndyjMo 11:50, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

The Last Continent

I've added the source of the Cover Artist to The Last Continent. --AndyjMo 11:56, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents

Updated The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents with the Publication Month from Locus1, also added some Notes. --AndyjMo 15:05, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Review of The Life to Come

Hello, I've cleaned up most of the troubles with this issue but can't find anything for this review. Perthpas can you have a look or transform it into an ESSAY. Hauck 09:08, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry for the trouble - I'd intended to try doing the fixes myself once the edit was accepted but didn't get back to it until now. I've fixed up the review - Lees not Lee. I've been checking every author and publication the last few issues, but the search engine takes you to the author as long as what you type gives only one match - even if it isn't a complete match. And after forty reviews the mind sees what it expects to see. Doug H 13:36, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Darrell Schweltzer vs Darrell Schweitzer

Hi, in your verified copy of Science Fiction Chronicle, #225 June 2002 you attribute World Horror Convention Report and Gallery 2002 to a Darrell Schweltzer. Could that be a typo for Darrell Schweitzer and are you able to check that, as it was a transient?--Dirk P Broer 20:27, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Still haven't unloaded them. It's a fat font and hard to read, but I'm pretty sure it says Schweltzer with an L. Not to say the magazine didn't get it wrong - the table of contents has Editorial on page 29, which is an ad, and Editoial on page 43 (correctly). But the TOC does not list this article at all, so no way to confirm the author. In the article they say they wrote The Great World and the Small so I'd say it is the same person. I've submitted an update with explanatory note. I sometimes wonder what people like you are doing to find things like this. :-) Doug H 03:31, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

N/A Marked Primary Verifications

In the following pub, you have marked a primary verification slot as N/A:

• 397015 - Primary (Transient)

It is not clear if you meant to verify it or you clicked an extra row in marking secondary references as N/A. If you could update it, it would be appreciated. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 02:58, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Fixed.

Cyborg

I added to the notes of Cyborg. Whoever the primary verifier was, they are long gone, and if you want to take up the primary place I'll take the secondary place. MLB 02:16, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

I don't put much value in the order. There are discussions about changing the verification model, including keeping past verifiers and allowing more than 5. So I'm content to leave it as it is. You're welcome to number one if you want. Doug H 16:26, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

I guess this is a moot point now. Doug H 12:46, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Her Majesty's Wizard

I've updated the Printing History for Her Majesty's Wizard and added the source of the Cover Artist. --AndyjMo 12:53, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Acknowledged. Doug H 03:47, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

The Oathbound Wizard

It looks as though your Verified Version of The Oathbound Wizard is a duplicate of this version. The only difference is in the page count. The other version has 398 pages which is the length of the actual story, your version includes the excerpt. Unfortunately the PV of the other version is no longer active so I can't check with him. I was thinking that the best option is to include a Note stating that it could be a duplicate. Any other thoughts? --AndyjMo 13:07, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm assuming you mean to add the note to other earlier edition, with your assumptions and possibly a link to the version we've verified. That sounds eminently reasonable. Doug H 03:44, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

The Witch Doctor

I've added a reference to the excerpt at the end of The Witch Doctor. --AndyjMo 15:36, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Acknowledged. Doug H 03:47, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

My Son, the Wizard

I've added the source of the Cover Artist to My Son, the Wizard. --AndyjMo 15:53, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Acknowledged. Doug H 03:47, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Escape Velocity

I've added the source of the Cover Artist and the copyright date to Escape Velocity. --AndyjMo 13:11, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

The Warlock in Spite of Himself

I've added the source of the Cover Artist, Copyright statement and Other Prices to The Warlock in Spite of Himself. --AndyjMo 13:20, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

King Kobold

Can you check the Other Prices on the back cover of King Kobold. My copy has Australia $1.80, New Zealand $1.80. If your version does have Australia $1.50 then I will create another version for my copy. --AndyjMo 14:54, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

My copy also has AUSTRALIA $1.80. There was a Canadian price sticker over the foreign prices, so I'd cheated on the verification. I see you've also tapped the other verifiers so I'll will let that run its course. Doug H 20:31, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

The Warlock Enraged

I've added the Copyright statement and the source of the cover artist to The Warlock Enraged. --AndyjMo 15:02, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

The Warlock's Last Ride

Added Canadian Price to The Warlock's Last Ride. --AndyjMo 16:53, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

A Wizard in Absentia

I've added the source of the Cover Artist to A Wizard in Absentia. --AndyjMo 21:28, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

The Ghost Brigades

You have verified this pub, but it looks like a duplicate of this one. Both are third printings and I don't see any differences. Since the other one has multiple verifications, it would be easiest if you moved your verification over to the other one and we delete yours. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:39, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

I'll check with the other verifiers about the additional content I'd included and notes and move my verification and changes over. Doug H 21:08, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Done. Doug H 18:53, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

A batch of nongenre stories - if you disagree please comment

Currently there are numerous non-genre horror stories that are in the database because it's natural to just enter a book of horror or "tales of terror" without figuring out which stories are supernatural. I don't intend to systematically hunt for them, but when I spot one, I like to mark it nongenre. (In the case of classic stories, marking is better than removing it from the database because it'll just get re-added with some new anthology.) At the moment, I've spotted the following stories that I think need such a change, and I'm consulting people who have them in their verified pubs.

Firstly, there's Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural (verified copies: (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7)), which contains "A Terribly Strange Bed," "The Three Strangers," "The Most Dangerous Game," "Leiningen Versus the Ants," "A Rose for Emily," "Taboo," and undoubtedly other non-supernatural ones that I'm not noticing at the moment. Here are verified publications for those and some other stories:

• "Taboo" by Geoffrey Household - An eastern European community is terrorized by a series of murders. The mystery is solved, but the terror, and other psychological effects, linger on.

ADDENDUM: Discussion moved to the Community Portal. --Vasha 01:00, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Sundiver

Please check your Sundiver to see if it has one or two drawings on the pair of pages after the Contents page. For some reason we have separate title records for each drawing. I don't think you'll need to fix anything. I wanted to verify there are two drawings. The first of the drawings is labeled "The Sunship" over "Side View". The second of the pair is labeled "The Sunship" over "Top View". Thank you. --Marc Kupper|talk 07:45, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Check and check - two images as described. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. Doug H 12:45, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Lady of the Trillium

Hello,

Can you look at your verified Lady of the Trillium. The name of the map is somewhat irregular - two "i"'s instead of two "l"'s. Is that a typo or is it really spelled this way? Thanks! Annie 00:54, 26 June 2017 (EDT)

Update submitted. Doug H 22:31, 26 June 2017 (EDT)

Seventh Son

I'd like to change the cover art credit for Seventh Son from James C. Christensen to Dennis Nolan.

I suspect what happened is that Tor started out with the Nolan artwork on the front cover of the pb editions. They then used a die cut cover where part of the Nolan painting is visible in a cutout. I'm guessing that Christensen did the artwork on the outer cover. Tor then switched back to using only the Nolan painting on the outer cover and I suspect they forgot to remove the Christensen credit. I have threads open with a couple of verifiers of the die-cut editions to see if those credit Christensen.

I tried to e-mail Nolan to confirm it's his painting but the address I have for him bounced. Christensen has died and we can't ask him about if he did the outer cover.

I've also added a pub note for "Priced for sale in Canada at C$9.99" (it's on the spine), expanded the note for LCCN: 86-51490 to instead be "Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 86-51490" so that people know the LCCN # is stated, and added the LCCN external link. --Marc Kupper 07:10, 30 June 2017 (EDT)

By all means. Doug H 10:09, 30 June 2017 (EDT)

Jack of Shadows

Knights of the Black Earth

This [record] seems to be identical to [this one], or am I missing something? --~ Bill, Bluesman 19:47, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

Don't have the copy any more, but there's the organization of the pages, spelling of the cover artist (likely normalized) and the publisher (again, possibly normalized). Given the discrepancy in number of pages (398+12) and page numbering (excerpt on page 401), I'm inclined to distrust mine. T'will be deleted. Doug H 08:29, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

The Time Machine

I mistakenly rejected your date edit to The Time Machine. I'm not sure what I was reading. I went ahead and made the edit myself. However, I have a question on the publication. The shortfiction record has authors as Jules Verne and Shirley Bogart. Shouldn't that be Wells? -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:39, 29 July 2017 (EDT)

Cut and paste error. I've got about 20 of these things to enter and wanted to be consistent. With the Chapbooks, there's just one place too many to change. Between that and different batches at different stages, I messed up. I'd (hopefully) have caught it when I tried cloning the $1.25 to the $2.50 version but this works well too. The fix is in. Thanks.

A. Conan Doyle

Hello, as shown in one of our cleanup reports, all the titles atributed to A. Conan Doyle (that I suppose you created) will have to be varianted to the canonical author. Thanks. Hauck 10:47, 30 July 2017 (EDT)

Thanks for the reminder. I'm on it. Doug H 10:48, 30 July 2017 (EDT)

Great, thanks. Hauck 11:02, 30 July 2017 (EDT)

I got the chapbook, and have submitted the story, but will have to see what it takes to get them connected correctly. And which to put in the series "Sherlock Holmes" Doug H 11:05, 31 July 2017 (EDT)

Var the Stick

Updated the Printing History for Var the Stick (added statement about Corgi edition and Copyright statement). The OCLC number listed is for a 1975 edition by Transworld Publishers. There seem to be a number of records for this edition in WorldCat e.g. 877355538, which gives the ISBN and lists Corgi as the publisher. Should this be the link? --AndyjMo 10:37, 19 August 2017 (EDT)

I haven't looked into the WorldCat and have no comment on this aspect of the entry. Doug H 11:38, 19 August 2017 (EDT)

Verne Encyclopedia

Accepted the edit for [this]. Fixed two typos in authors' names and there were still two 'new' authors to the db, so could you double-check the spellings? Also the month/price came from Locus1 so adjusted the first note. You can make it different if you choose. Have fun with the variants, practice is always good!! Cheers --~ Bill, Bluesman 16:26, 26 August 2017 (EDT)

The Time Machine + The War of the Worlds

I have your clone of The Time Machine on hold. The content you are entering seems to be a duplicate of this edition which you have already verified. Am I missing something? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:02, 2 October 2017 (EDT)

Same with The War of the Worlds and this edition. -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:07, 2 October 2017 (EDT)

As well as the second The War of the Worlds clone. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:08, 2 October 2017 (EDT)

The Time Machine - the existing has a single price or $1.25. The submission is for one with two prices - $1.25 US and $1.50 Canadian. That and the price appearing on the spine is the other difference.

War of the Worlds - the existing has a US price of $1.25 and Canadian of $1.99. One submission has only a single US price, while the other is for a US price of $1.25 and Canadian of $1.50.

Cover images would show the difference. Doug H 22:28, 2 October 2017 (EDT)

Approved. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 07:12, 3 October 2017 (EDT)

Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Hound of the Baskervilles

I updated the publication author on your verified Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Hound of the Baskervilles chapbooks from "Malvine G. Vogel" to "Malvina G. Vogel". Each of the publications notes had multiple quotes with her name spelled correctly as well as the content record has her name correctly. The publication author field was the only one with "Malvine". So this seemed like a database error. If not, let me know and I'll reverse it and fix the notes & content records instead. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 09:09, 29 October 2017 (EDT)
