The Zone #4, Summer 1996
Hello, and Welcome back! I have approved your submission, but I have a question as to what you wanted to update in the title 'Maternity Leave' by Dominic Mcdonagh? - you didn't submit any changes as far as I could see?
Also, I suspect that you have the publication in your possession. If you do, consider primary verifying the publication record, as that indicates that you are confirming the publication data is accurate, and has been verified against an actual copy. Thanks! MagicUnk 13:47, 9 September 2020 (EDT)
Thanks - it was just the typo that the surname is "McD" not "Mcd".
- It is one of the quirks of the ISFDB that the software reverts to the capitalization as originally entered in the author name record. So if you want to change capitalization of an author's name, you'll have to edit the author's record, not the contents of the publication record. I've corrected the name for you. See here Dominic McDonagh. MagicUnk 09:49, 11 September 2020 (EDT)
OK - noted. Thanks.
Magazines and series
When adding magazines, we do not use the "Series Num" field - the number goes into the title only :) Other from that, the entry was well done. I set the title for the EDITOR as well (it is always a second step). One question - where is the 1997-12-00 date coming from?
One more small note on formatting - when adding a magazine, we name them in a bit of a specific way - with the main name of the magazine followed by a comma and then all the issue identifiers. Welcome back! Annie 06:10, 13 September 2020 (EDT)
Thank you - I used the Winter 1997-98 as being Dec-Feb and so used the FAQ info that 1997-12-00 would be the correct approach.
