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!Kraang 01:59, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

The Callahan Chronicals
I approved two of your edits to this publication, but then made a few changes. You wanted to change the date for two of the essays. For titles we use the date of first publication see this help page.
- "Backword (The Callahan Chronicals)": The essay is dated January 1997, but the date of first publication is october 1997. This should not be changed.
- "Spider Robinson: The SF Writer as Empath": I changed the date to June 1977, then made it into a variant of this title.
I had to reject your edit of "Foreword (Callahan's Crosstime Saloon)". You wanted to change the date to february 1976, but the first publication was in june 1977. You also wanted to add a note about the essay (Postscript states: February, 1976 Phinney's Cove, Nova Scotia) to the title record. A title record can have more than one publication however, so general notes can be added, but notes about a single pub should go with the pub. Hope you're not depressed by this. Thanks for editing, and again, welcome. --Willem H. 18:08, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
