Welcome!

Hello, KelleyCook, and welcome to the ISFDB Wiki! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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! --Bluesman 22:34, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

== A few Richard Morgan changes ==

The second edit for the book formerly known as "Cold Command" is from here: http://www.richardkmorgan.com/2009/03/oz-and-dark-delays.html and from the publisher's upcoming books (page 78) http://www.orionbooks.co.uk/extras/catalogues/GollanczNewBooks_Jan2010-July2010.pdf Note this also has the two ISBNs that it will be published under

The first change should be obvious as the ISBN's matched -- KelleyCook 22:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Now I know what edit you mean. The first one was going to duplicate a variant relationship that already existed. All that was necessary was to merge the two titles. I was about to post here when the second edit took me off on a tangent. ~Bill, --Bluesman 23:55, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
There's only the one record change here that I can see and the only record was from a data-mining robot we have called "Fixer". From the two sites I can see where the justified changes came from, but the one thing I don't get is the series number of 19785??? There's just the one book in the series which would make this one #2?? ~~Bill, --Bluesman 23:09, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
I moved the discussion here as other editors/Moderators might be interested. Unlike other Wikis we find it easier to follow threads/discussions if kept to one page. ~Bill, --Bluesman 23:11, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
The first chapters of "Cold Commands" were put at the end of "The Steel Remains" and has the same characters, so yes it is book 2 of his fantasy series, which ISFDB has dubbed "Land Fit for Heroes" — incidentally the working title for "The Steel Remains" ( http://www.richardkmorgan.com/2007/10/october-07-nuclear-reactions.html ). Contrary to the implication by the ISFDB entry for Cold Commands, this book was never released in Sep 2009; "Cold Commands" was renamed to "Dark commands" and was pushed back to July 2010 according to the publishers upcoming releases note -- or September 10th according to Amazon.
Come to think of it, I suppose it may be easier to delete the never released "Cold Commands" and just put the new correctly titled book titled Dark Commands under the "Land Fit for Heroes" series -- KelleyCook 15:08, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
That would make fewer steps for sure. As it stands by making the changes at the title record level won't change the publication record at all, and that's the desired end result. You could just edit the two records, title and publication. That gets rid of the vaporware entry and gets the new title under the series as well. Is there another name for this series? ~Bill, --Bluesman 15:24, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Suarez title

Should the title for the second Suarez submission be "Freedom"? Ran the ISBN on Amazon and that's what showed. Changed the title. ~Bill, --Bluesman 21:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Doh'eth! definately screwed that up. Anyhow the title as you noted is either "Freedom", Amazon's usage of "Freedom (TM)", or maybe the unsearchable "Freedom™", which is its proper title. Thanks
Anyhow, thanks for guiding a newbie. I'll also be adding a cloned publication entry for "Daemon" under his original pseudonymn and self-publisher. -- KelleyCook 22:13, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
