BTW, note that the editor field of the publication record is given as "uncredited" because he isn't actually credited in the issue. Per ISFDB standards, the record is then varianted to credit the actual editor (Melvin R. Colby). [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 18:51, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out that ''The Liquid Man'' was originally published in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?58184 ''Fantastic Adventures, September 1941''] as by "Bernard C. Gilford"! Although we make an effort to connect original pulp publications with later reprints, there are still gaps in our coverage and this was one of them.

I have set up {{A|Bernard C. Gilford}} as a pseudonym for {{A|C. B. Gilford}} and turned the 1941 version into a variant of the 1969 book. There is a fair amount of complexity when dealing with magazines as described in [[Help:Use of the SERIAL type]] and [[Help:How to connect serials to titles]], so I figured it would be easier if I did it myself rather than try to walk you through a complex multi-submission process.

As far as the issue of "rejecting" versus "redirecting" submitted edits goes, I am afraid the way the ISFDB software functions, there is no way to redirect or edit a submission. The reviewing moderator has only two choices when dealing with a submission which has valid data that was not entered in the right format:
 
−
 
−
* approve the submission and then change what was entered, or
 
−
* reject the submission and implement the proposed changes in a different way
 
−
 
−
There is nothing personal about either "rejecting" or "approving" a submission. It's just a question of what is easier and less time-consuming in each case. In the case of "Uncanny Tales" above the reviewing moderator decided that it was easier to reject the submission and enter the data in a different way, but the important thing is that the data was added to the database. Your contributions are appreciated -- thanks again! [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 00:23, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Maybrick, 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:

Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.

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! Mhhutchins 18:29, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Uncanny Tales

I had to reject your submission to add a publication record for this magazine title. Each issue of a periodical should be entered as a separate publication record. Feel free to do this using the data on the Fiction Mags index. Thanks. Mhhutchins 18:36, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

I have created a record for the first issue. Please use that record and this help page as a guideline when adding other issues. Thanks. Mhhutchins 18:46, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

BTW, note that the editor field of the publication record is given as "uncredited" because he isn't actually credited in the issue. Per ISFDB standards, the record is then varianted to credit the actual editor (Melvin R. Colby). Mhhutchins 18:51, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
