Riding the Nightmare
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.
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.
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.
Thanks a lot. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Delage82 (talk • contribs) .
- 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.
- 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.
- Let me know if you have any questions on the above. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:03, 13 January 2024 (EST)

hiya mate sorry to hassle you i'm doing the contents of a version of aesops fables that I own that uses the 1912 vernon jones translations. Ive been varianting each fable to the parents that were enetred by RTrace with the perry index number as the series number and with ancient greek as the language but then i clocked that there was a few others apart from mine that werent linked to the series. they're the ones with a second author that youve done some editing on and i thought hang on i better stop and check to see why those ones aren't part of the series before i do any more of mine. cheers from Gaz Faustus (talk) 16:34, 31 March 2024 (EDT)
- If they have two authors, they would be retellings or adaptations and not direct translations of Aesop's originals. You can add them to a series if you want, but I would suggest a subseries (perhaps something like "Aesop's Fables Adaptations"). They would not be varianted to the original works as they are not the same as the originals (i.e. not pure translations). Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 18:33, 31 March 2024 (EDT)
Changes to "Baen Fantasy" and "Baen Science Fiction Books"
A quick note to let you know that publisher records "Baen Fantasy" and "Baen Science Fiction Books" are in the process of being converted to publication series under "Baen Books" as per the outcome of this Rules and Standards discussion. This will affect one or more of your primary-verified publications. The only affected fields will be "Publisher" and "Publication Series". Ahasuerus (talk) 19:33, 4 April 2024 (EDT)

You misunderstood my question. I did not ask why you listed that imprint, I asked why the ISFDB cannot list publisher imprints on the same page as its publisher, thereby providing a complete and cohesive record of the publisher's work all in one place.

- The ISFDB does not currently provide a method to create a hierarchal grouping of a publisher and its imprints (maybe someday it will). At the moment, if someone searches for Starship Sloane Publishing, they will find both the publisher and imprint listing. -- JLaTondre (talk) 20:00, 9 April 2024 (EDT)
