− | == Strangest of All ==
| + | Hi, thanks for verifying my very first edit. However, I've obviously done something wrong. The stories on this collection (except 1) are all on the database already and they appear duplicated now instead of the stories already on the database being linked to the collection. |
| | | |
− | Not a change to the pub itself, but I've changed the weblink on our verified [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?774527 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 [https://europeanastrobiology.eu/onewebmedia/Strangest%20of%20All%20Anthology%20of%20Astrobiological%20SF.pdf no longer hosting it]. Cheers. [[User:PeteYoung|PeteYoung]] 04:16, 10 January 2022 (EST)
| + | The story "Voices in the Night" first appeared on a 2018 anthology named "Uncertainties, volume III", edited by Lynda E. Rucker which is not on this database. I got the publishing date off Goodreads. |

− | == Swfritter's application for self-approver status ==
| + | The story "The Dragon's Bride" is already on the database, but the version included here is a "revised and expanded version" to novella-length as is stated on the copyright page of the stories in the collection. I don't know if it should be linked to the story here or create a separate listing with a (expanded) credit as I submitted. |
| | | |
− | When you have a moment, could you please review [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Moderator_noticeboard#Application_for_self-approval_status Swfritter's application for self-approver status]? TIA! [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 09:20, 26 January 2022 (EST) | + | Thanks a lot. {{unsigned|Delage82}} |
| + | :When you type in the content records of a publication, it will create new title records for each of the contents. When the contents already exist in the database, it is better to use the Import options and import the existing records. When there are duplicates, you can go to the publication record and click the "Check for Duplicate Titles". This will give you a listing of items that match in title, author, and type and allow you to merge them. I have done that for this publication. |
| | | |
− | == Friend ==
| + | :When we have revised / edited works, how we handle them depends on how different the works are. If the changes are minor, we would have one record and add a title note stating that there are revisions for certain versions. When the changes are more extensive, we leave them as separate records and add title notes. I have done that here. We would only include the "(expanded)" if that is how it appeared on the title page which doesn't sound like it. |
| | | |
− | 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. --[[User:Username|Username]] 09:34, 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. --[[User:Username|Username]] 11:06, 5 February 2022 (EST)

| |
− | Hi JLaTondre, thanks for looking over my submission; while I agree that the "novel" itself is not speculative fiction, I've written a rather extensive foreword in the book that I think should qualify which is the main reason I submitted the title here.
| |
− | | |
− | I'll be happy to start a discussion on the community portal though if you think the decision is best made by a larger consensus. I'm fairly inexperienced here. Do I just post it as a question there and let people chime in?

− | == Squad D ==
| |
− | | |
− | After adding links from that old Netherlands Stephen King page recently I saw "Squad D" was approved by you so I checked WorldCat and saw that my note from last May needed updating because since then a couple of other libraries got copies of Shivers VIII, for a total of 3. However, just as I was about to complete the edit I noticed the Amazon link I provided back then is gone, and that you apparently deleted it some time after my edit was approved. Not that it matters much now because the story is more easily readable (and printable) from that King page, but what was the reason for doing that? Have I forgotten that you let me know you were deleting it or did you never inform me at all? If I'd have known I probably would have searched and found that King page much sooner; I'd hate to think that people paid money to buy that over-priced Shivers book just to read King's story, incorrectly thinking it wasn't available anywhere else, because that claim was widely proclaimed all over the internet. I'm going to just delete my note now because there's no reason for it to be there anymore. --[[User:Username|Username]] 20:05, 20 April 2022 (EDT)
| |
− | :Publication specific links belong at the publication level, not the title level. It is also redundant with the Amazon links the s/w creates automatically. -- [[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] ([[User talk:JLaTondre#top|talk]]) 18:01, 21 April 2022 (EDT)

− | <br>1. Change the page count to [10]+645+16
| |
− | <br>2. Change the start page number for "The Barbed Coil (excerpt)" to 3 and add the note "The book ends on page 645. The page numbers restart from 1 for "The Barbed Coil" excerpt."

− | <br>3. Add title "Master and Fool (map)" by uncredited on page [8]
