Thank you! I'm trying to follow the guidelines, and hope I will get better with time.

No problem. We don't expect new users to understand everything right away. ISFDB has some conventions that need learning so please check out the help links in the welcome message on your talk page. And please let us know if you have any questions (ISFDB:Help desk is a good resource for asking). By the way, you can just respond to the posts on your talk page. We like to keep discussions collocated and people will watch a page they posted on for responses. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:13, 1 January 2022 (EST)

Strangest of All

Not a change to the pub itself, but I've changed the weblink on our verified Strangest of All to Julie Novakova's site, which still hosts the various formats to the digital pub. The European Astrobiology Institute appears to be no longer hosting it. Cheers. PeteYoung 04:16, 10 January 2022 (EST)

Swfritter's application for self-approver status

When you have a moment, could you please review Swfritter's application for self-approver status? TIA! Ahasuerus 09:20, 26 January 2022 (EST)

Friend

http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?17664; I left a message about this book months ago somewhere on these boards and ran across the book again recently; what I believe is that the printings are for Friend while the 1986 date is the first for Deadly Friend because that's when the Wes Craven movie came out with the same title, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadly_Friend, and so the book was retitled to match. --Username 09:34, 5 February 2022 (EST)

Your submissions have been unrejected & approved. I have added additional notes to provide context. Using the moderator notes in these cases would save a lot of time. -- JLaTondre (talk) 10:53, 5 February 2022 (EST)

Great; also, while I was on Google Books' Deadly Friend page I searched for cover art and there's a credit on the copyright page but it's hidden from view. So if someone knows how to get it or can find a copy online with a photo of that page then the artist can be entered. --Username 11:06, 5 February 2022 (EST)

Callander titles

For Aquamancer, would you mind if I changed the page count to [8]+289 and add the map title on page [6]?

For Dragon Companion, would you mind if I change the page count to [10]+321 and add the map title on page [8]?

For Dragon Rescue, would you mind if I change the page count to [10]+225 and add the map title on page [8]?
Thanks! Phil 10:16, 10 March 2022 (EST)

I'm fine with that except that Aquamancer should be [10]+289 and Dragon Rescue should be [12]+225. If the unnumbered pages are going to be added, then they all should be included. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:57, 10 March 2022 (EST)

Thanks for the clarification of the unnumbered pages count. I think I've generally been doing it right but the location of the half title page in these two pubs threw me off for some reason. Phil 22:10, 10 March 2022 (EST)

Frankenstein and the Whiz Kid

http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?887914; ISBN is 0315039485 on Amazon.com; is that usable? --Username 18:34, 15 March 2022 (EDT)

Yes, just add a pub note that source of ISBN is Amazon.com. -- JLaTondre (talk) 20:41, 15 March 2022 (EDT)
