Recent Cyteen changes

Hi. You just made changes to Cyteen with this submission. While I don't disagree with the changes, you really should have contacted both GlennMcG and me who are active PVs for that publication first. We both respond quickly. You also should have changed the page count to [7]+680 with the first map on [6] and the second map on [7]. Regards, Phil (talk) 07:50, 19 November 2023 (EST)

Would you object if I make the following changes to the hardcover edition of Cyteen? Change the page count to [7]+680 with the first map on [6] and the second map on [7]. (Also sent to other PV) Thanks! Phil (talk) 15:04, 13 December 2023 (EST)

Decidedly yes object to doing that - does not at all match my physical copy. First numbered page is 1 (Verbal Text from: THE HUMANE REVOLUTION....).The maps are on the preceeding UNNUMBERED pages before this and there are decidedly not seven unnumbered pages prior to page 1 either. --Mavmaramis (talk) 15:43, 13 December 2023 (EST)

Fontana's A Cure For Cancer

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?220125; I added Archive.org link in a PENDING edit and fixed publisher to Fontana / Collins since that's what it says in the book on the title page. --Username (talk) 19:49, 21 November 2023 (EST)

Childhood's End

Can you please take a look at Childhood's End? The catalog number is given as G643, but the cover shows G463. Is this a database typo or does the book have the transposed digits inside? Can you either correct the record or add a publication note regarding the disconnect? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 08:27, 2 December 2023 (EST)

It was a databse typo. Check physical copy and it is G463 which is only printed on the cover and nowhere else. I've submitted a correction. --Mavmaramis (talk) 08:32, 2 December 2023 (EST)

Approved. Thanks! -- JLaTondre (talk) 18:06, 2 December 2023 (EST)

Golden Apples of the Sun 1978 UK HC

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?520003; I added Archive.org link and entered page numbers for the stories in a PENDING edit but there are 2 stories not in the book; "Great Fire" and "Big Black and White Game". I'm going to remove them and also import Mugnaini's interior art. Re: publisher I think it should probably be changed to this, https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pubs_not_in_series.cgi?17853, as similarly dated and priced Bradbury books are there, but that's up to you. --Username (talk) 12:48, 8 December 2023 (EST)

Can confirm the two stories you mentioned are not in this publication. As far as publisher goes maybe wise to include Granada as the publiher (so something like Hart-Davis, MacGibbon / Granada) as Granada Publishing is prominent on title page and copyright page. Otherwise someone might assume that Granada had no part in it's publication. You could always raise this on the Moderator Noticeboard on the Commiunity Portal given that merely becasue other Bradbury publications of this date were merely entered as Hart-Davis, MacGibbon does not indicate Granada were not involved. --Mavmaramis (talk) 13:20, 8 December 2023 (EST)

Suaine and the Crow-God

I added the Internet Archive scan to Suaine and the Crow-God. In doing so, I noticed the page count was wrong (the prior count was less than the last listed contents) and two typos. I made the corrections based on the scan. If by some odd chance, the scan differs from your copy, please let me know and I will revert and clone a new record. -- JLaTondre (talk) 11:25, 10 December 2023 (EST)

Page count should be 255, checked with my physical copy. --Mavmaramis (talk) 11:58, 10 December 2023 (EST)

Thanks for confirming. My prior edit seems to have gone missing. I must not have hit submit. I re-did it so you will now also see the typo corrections. -- JLaTondre (talk) 12:32, 10 December 2023 (EST)

I noticed edit was missing so I did one; it was rejected because J's edit fixed the same stuff. However, there may be a few other issues. I think "day on end" should be days; also, why are some art titles capitalized and others not? --Username (talk) 13:13, 10 December 2023 (EST)

The Lost Continent of Mu

Would you please check the page 70 artwork title of The Lost Continent of Mu? Is the missing space in "TheDistribution..." a database typo? If not, please add a note stating it is original to the pub. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 11:28, 10 December 2023 (EST)

It's a typo. Should be "The Distribution" (with a space). --Mavmaramis (talk) 11:50, 10 December 2023 (EST)

Fixed. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 12:35, 10 December 2023 (EST)

Tegne

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?34650; I added Archive.org link and other stuff to the PB in a PENDING edit; first word in the title has an accent over the e so I fixed that. If your PV TP does, too, then you can fix that and I'll add it to cover art (parent and variant) and title record. EDIT: I just noticed something; since it's a series then Tegne shouldn't be in the PB or TP titles because that's the rules here, dropping series names from titles. The series title does have the accent over the e so if you agree to remove Tegne then I'll re-do my edit doing the same and then I'll just have to add the accent to the cover art(s). --Username (talk) 23:05, 12 December 2023 (EST)

Warlord of Zendow does indeed have an accent over the e of Tegne. --Mavmaramis (talk) 23:58, 12 December 2023 (EST)
