Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse

John I see the anthology Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse [1] has no contents, would you like to enter the missing titles? If so just click on "Edit This Pub" and in the contents section fill in the missing data. Change the first "Entry Type" from anthology to short fiction in the drop down menu. For dates use this format "1976-07-31" for "July 31, 1976" anything else will be recognized as unknown. If you have any problems I or someone else will be here to help. Thanks for editing.Kraang 00:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the contents of Wastelands, which another moderator has approved. If the publication record is now correct and complete, compared to a physical copy in your possession, you can use the "Verify this pub" link to mark it as verified ("Primary" verification, the first in the list of choices, is our term for checking against the actual physical work). This will put the date and your userID ("Johnjosephadams") into the pub record, and will mean that later editors should notify or check with you before changing data on this pub, and will mark it for everyone as having been checked against the actual publication. Again, thanks for your contributions, and I hope to see more of you on this site. -DES Talk 15:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Federations

You submitted an edit to change the ISBN of Federations from 978-0-8095-7347-9 to 1-60701-201-4. But there is significant evidence, including an OCLC Fiction Finder record, that a printing with the first ISBN was in fact published. If you, as the editor, know for a fact that only one ISBN was ever used on this anthology, please do let us know so that we can correct the database.

Also, if the dates,page counts or prices of the two printings were different, please let us know of make the change yourself.

I have merged the duplicate records caused by the reprinted content items, as you will see in the listing for either publication. Thank you very much for the detailed contents listing. -DES Talk 23:38, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
