We Interrupt This Program
Hello,
I approved the addition but had to do some changes to bring it to policy
- We keep separate record for each format.
- "Transliterated Title" is used for titles which use non-Latin characters - Cyrillic script, Chinese, Kanji and so on. It is not used for the series name of a book.
- The Cover Art field is only for a cover artist. Cover designers are only added to the notes. As the only credit in the book is for design, I removed the cover record but added a link to an image showing the cover.
- Kindle, epub and all other kinds of ebooks use the type ebook.
- Author sites go on the Author profile, not in a book weblinks. I moved the one that was resolving.
- "Novelization" is used for books which are novelizations of comics, TV series episodes, movies or any other non-text media. As this book is neither, I removed the flag
- The series field requires the name of the series.
- Added the paperback version and updated the series both on this one and on the first in the series.
The result is here. Let me know if you have any questions and welcome to the DB! Annie 19:41, 8 March 2022 (EST)
