When you have a chance, can you add transliteration (and a Japanese book) to [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?2995083 this one]? I am pretty sure that [https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/%E5%B0%8F%E9%87%8E%E6%AD%A3%E5%97%A3-ebook/dp/B00SQYTRHO this] is an early edition but not sure if it is the first (and my transliteration skills are not that great with Japanese).

Could you take a look at [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/mod/submission_review.cgi?5475726 this edit] which affects one of your verified publications.  I suspect the editor is removing the overall INTERIOART because they're there for the individual novels.  The publication is also verified by [[User talk:Gzuckier|Gzuckier]], though that is a transient verification. The remaining verifier is inactive.  Also, the was another Narnia omnibus verified by [[User:Biomassbob|Biomassbob]] that I discussed with him earlier today.  He preferred that the overall INTERIORART record not be removed and I rejected that edit based on [[User talk:Biomassbob#Pending edit for The Complete Chronicles of Narnia|that discussion]].  I'm not holding the edit, so you may accept or reject as you wish.  Thanks. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 18:42, 5 January 2023 (EST)

:Nihonjoe is an active verifier for the 1974 publication: it's best to ask him about the ISBN (he has to be asked anyway if it is changed).

:*The original Starflight game came out in 1986. It was ported to the Sega Genesis in 1991 (specifically May 15, 1991).

FWIW, the preview of the copyright page of the ebook says: "Individual Stories: Copyright c 1957, 1965, 1970, 1973, 1982, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1999, 2021 by Agberg, Ltd."  The implication of 12 stories, matches the number contents excluding the intro.

If try to match those years to what we have for the contents of that pub, I get:
 
−
 
 
−
    1957, Why?
 
−
    1965, The Sixth Palace
 
−
    1970, The Pleasure of their Company
 
−
    1973, Ship Sister, Star Sister
 
−
    1982, The Changeling AND/OR The Trouble with Sempoanga *****************

    1985, ?
 
−
    1988, We Are for the Dark

    1991, ?
 
−
    1992, Looking for the Fountain
 
−
    1999, Travelers
 
−
    2021 ?
 
−
 
 
−
I'm guessing [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?3007607 the "Thebes..." story] needs merging with [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?14910 this Jan 1992 record], which probably accounts for the "missing" 1991 story?  (I'd do that merge, but I'm just wary in case you'd left it for a reason?)
 
−
 
 
−
That still leaves a mystery on the claimed 1985 copyright, not to mention the 2021 one, unless the latter is indeed the intro.  Given that all the contents other than the intro match up in some way with what was already in the DB, I'm inclined to chalk it down to an erroneous and/or misleading copyright page (in the ebook, at least)?

You're a primary verifier on [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?30610 this book] by Jane Yolen. That was probably entered by Mhhutchins, but his User talk page requests that changes should be reported to other verifiers, and not to him, so here I am.

The publication comments include the statement "Includes eight additional pages of music and lyrics titled "The Music of the Dales"...". That collection of songs has been entered separately into the isfdb records as a "short story", apparently by Chris_J in updating "The Books of Great Alta". But since it's in the system, it would seem natural to included it in the contents of this book, and I have done so. I hope that's ok with you.

Also, next time the regular title date is changed to an earlier date than the edition(s) on ISFDB that means whoever entered those editions didn't bother to enter that date or didn't know there was an earlier edition; in those cases, WorldCat's your friend (and I assume you're going to un-reject that edit, too, eventually, right?).

:::It's '''your''' responsibility to make sure '''each ''individual''''' submission has everything needed for a mod to make a decision about the submission. Assuming that the same mod will be working on all related submissions is completely unrealistic. Once a mod gets into reviewing submissions, they may not necessarily look at the full list of submissions as they can simply click on the "Next Submission" button that appears once a submission is handled. If more than one of us are working through the submissions at the same time, it's possible every other submission is being handled by a different mod. So please make sure ''every individual submission'' you make includes whatever links or comments are needed for a decisions to be made. We shouldn't have to redo all of the research you already did just so we can review your submission.

1) http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?50036; Notice where it says "month of publication" and "first edition". 2) Unmerging of Henderson's Place/The Girl with the Summer Eyes is because I made an edit for Night Terrors issue recently and changed a few things including changing this title to the shorter one as it appears in that zine, but longer title was used for Castle's collections so I was told by RTrace to unmerge or variant or break the child or whatever you're supposed to do in such cases. 3) I see you uploaded image of Kurt W. Aigner so that's done; I wouldn't waste my time "fixing" book covers used for author images because there were thousands and thousands of them I've come across, I've added many of my own, and nobody really cares like some of you think they do whether you use a cover; in many cases that's the only place where an obscure author is pictured, no photos being available online. Most publishers are probably glad that their books are linked on a site with hundreds of thousands of users like this one, money being all that matters to most of them. 4) I just cancelled something a few minutes ago but I've already forgotten what it was; something about a price change, I think? You wrote something about 2 and 7 and someone not being around for a year and opening a discussion on the moderator board and I lost interest and just killed it. --[[User:Username|Username]] 17:46, 15 June 2022 (EDT)

:: I don't know if this is a rib or something, but I'm getting pretty tired of it. First of all, after seeing the note a previous editor wrote saying the March 1983 edition is the first edition I changed the preface's date to match, and after I just showed you that in the link I provided you didn't un-reject my wrongly rejected edit but just entered the date in your own edit as if you had discovered it needed changing. Second, the link to the issue of Night Terrors was added, by me, to the issue's record; why would I need to provide a link when it's already there? Third, there's no link to provide for the Aigner issue; I was just making a point that it's a waste of time for anybody to comb through the, probably, tens of thousands of author records that have a photo contained in a book cover, especially since many of them weren't just linked from Amazon or similar sites but actually uploaded to the Wiki. It would be a massive undertaking for a minor problem; if any specific publisher or person or whatever complained about a specific cover being used then that cover could be replaced, or left blank, but there's no need to replace most of them because no one's ever complained about them and almost certainly never will. Fourth, maybe you didn't understand the part where I said that I got tired of reading your explanation about what was wrong with it and just rejected it. You left a message on my board about it, RUBICON BEACH. Don't you remember that? If you want to contact some PV who may never respond and fix whatever needs fixing, be my guest. --[[User:Username|Username]] 15:27, 16 June 2022 (EDT)

:::I don't have a way to look up your rejected edits (as far as I know). So, I entered the correction myself since I knew which one you meant. I don't have the submission links to the others (or the first one), so I don't have any way to unreject them and approve them. If you'd spend all the time you take to complain and talk about how wonderful you are, and instead applied it to working ''with'' people instead of against them, we'd be able to accomplish things much more quickly. Instead, we sit here talking past each other because you're too arrogant to do anything else than assume everyone is out to get you and trying to steal your thunder or something.

:::: You're going to ignore all of my submissions because I don't do exactly what you want me to do, and I'M the child? I assume you've been here for many more years than me, and yet you don't seem to know how to find rejected edits or a lot of other things that I assumed you would know, being a PV and all. As for working with other people, I wish I had the time to comb through my first few months here when I was trying to figure out what I was doing and received many extremely rude and unhelpful responses to my questions from other editors and moderators. My defensive attitude grew out of that, so if that bothers you, too bad. As for being great, I think judging from the amount of edits I've made (close to 30,000 in just a year and a half) or the thousands I've coaxed other people into making, I think my self-respect is pretty justified, especially since many of the moderators who've been here for years, many of whom have pompous bios on their home pages listing all their experience and accomplishments, constantly make mistakes that I, a complete amateur, have to fix, which makes me wonder how they were accepted as moderators in the first place since they can't even be bothered to check over their work before they submit it; some of the errors I've corrected go back 15 years to the earliest days of editing here being made open to the public. Many of the other current editors whose work I come across seem barely literate, so you should be happy to have someone who's accurate and actually checks their work, even if I don't follow the ISFDB "rules", which most of the mods can't even agree on much of the time. As I've explained before more than once, I lost interest in doing this a long time ago and am just continuing to do it to keep myself busy and away from other negative things I could be doing; most of the print publications have been abandoned, judging by the thousands of edits I've made for them, and many if not most of the people currently here just enter modern e-books which people looking for them can easily find themselves; whether that's because linking to Amazon ASIN's brings in money to the site or whether there's another reason is not for me to say. I've had a couple of false starts where I thought I'd be leaving the site which were stymied by unforeseen circumstances, so the thousands of edits I've made since then are a bonus because I really should have been gone from here months ago. You really don't handle most of my edits, anyway, so if you choose not to look at them anymore it would hardly make a difference; there was another mod, Dirk or something like that, who threw a fit last year because I had the nerve to disagree with him about replacing old covers with better ones and other things he apparently felt I shouldn't be correcting him about, and decided not to look at my edits anymore. Since then, I've had thousands and thousands of edits approved by other mods, so if you decide to quit, too, it won't make any difference. There's always someone else. Or you could grow up and stop complaining; World War III may be coming soon judging by the way things are going around the world, so these petty issues about relatively meaningless stuff concerning this site don't matter, since soon there may not be an internet to have a site on anymore. --[[User:Username|Username]] 16:48, 16 June 2022 (EDT)

They only times I've asked you to do things was when you were doing things outside of the norm, and I was trying to help you understand how to do them the correct way. As for finding rejected edits, I can find my own, but I've never seen a way to find those belonging to other editors (or it's been so long since I've tried to look them up that I've forgotten how to find them).

I've fixed this for you, so you can see how they are attached. ···[[User:Nihonjoe|<font color="darkgreen">日本穣</font>]] · <small>[[Special:Contributions/Nihonjoe|<font color="blue">投稿</font>]] · [[User talk:Nihonjoe|Talk to Nihonjoe]]</small> 10:57, 26 July 2022 (EDT)

Hello,

When you have a chance, can you look at [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?908091 this one] and see if you can figure out the Japanese title of the story and sort out the transliteration of the collection title (and add other stories that my be relevant to us eventually if any). Thanks! [[User:Anniemod|Annie]] 18:53, 26 July 2022 (EDT)

:{{done}} Done! I added all of the stories from the collection in Japanese. If any turn out to not be genre, we can always delete them. Do we know if anyone here is picking up the English book? ···[[User:Nihonjoe|<font color="darkgreen">日本穣</font>]] · <small>[[Special:Contributions/Nihonjoe|<font color="blue">投稿</font>]] · [[User talk:Nihonjoe|Talk to Nihonjoe]]</small> 12:09, 27 July 2022 (EDT)

:: Thanks! Based on the English descriptions, I don't think that all of them are genre... But as you said, we can always delete anyway. Not sure if I am getting to that one - too many books, not enough time :) [[User:Anniemod|Annie]] 12:18, 27 July 2022 (EDT)

Pending edit for The Chronicles of Narnia

Hi Nihonjoe -

Could you take a look at this edit which affects one of your verified publications. I suspect the editor is removing the overall INTERIOART because they're there for the individual novels. The publication is also verified by Gzuckier, though that is a transient verification. The remaining verifier is inactive. Also, the was another Narnia omnibus verified by Biomassbob that I discussed with him earlier today. He preferred that the overall INTERIORART record not be removed and I rejected that edit based on that discussion. I'm not holding the edit, so you may accept or reject as you wish. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 18:42, 5 January 2023 (EST)

If the interior art is individually entered, there shouldn't be a generic entry in addition to the individually entered INTERIORART titles. I've approved this specific one. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 12:27, 6 January 2023 (EST)

Forrest J. Ackerman credits

When you have a moment, could you please check how your verified Forest J Ackerman pubs credit Ackerman? The other day a user pointed out that most of Ackerman's books/stories use Forrest J Ackerman as opposed to Forrest J. Ackerman, but only 30-ish of our pubs credit him that way. TIA! Ahasuerus (talk) 17:36, 7 January 2023 (EST)

Sure. I'll try to remember to check when I get home. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:05, 9 January 2023 (EST)
I've updated this one. I'll have to see if I still have the Perry Rhodan book. I might have gotten rid of it. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 13:53, 11 January 2023 (EST)

Forced merges

Hi, you moderated here and here and I'm curious as to what happened/went wrong :) The results on the author page are what I wanted but... I don't understand how Stonecreek merged these two successfully *after* I submitted. Have I got that right? And what does forced mean in this context? Please explain. Thanks, Kev. --BanjoKev (talk) 15:49, 18 January 2023 (EST)

Sometimes, more than one person can submit an edit for a specific title or publication. Depending on the order in which the submissions are handled, one edit may invalidate another submission. That's probably what happened in this case. When I pulled those two submissions up for reviewing, they were already in an errored-out state and they had to be "hard rejected" (that's what "forced" means). ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 16:00, 18 January 2023 (EST)
Ah, now I understand. Thanks for that! Kev. --BanjoKev (talk) 16:09, 18 January 2023 (EST)
No problem. I've had a few submissions that have had to be hard rejected for similar reasons. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 16:14, 18 January 2023 (EST)

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?12480; https://archive.org/details/godmakers00pend; ISBN on Archive.org copy's copyright page is different than what's on ISFDB for the 1974 edition but some numbers match the catalog ID of the 1970 edition. Also, shouldn't regular title date of Pendleton be made 1974-02-00 and not 1970-00-00? --Username (talk) 20:07, 22 January 2023 (EST)

Nihonjoe is an active verifier for the 1974 publication: it's best to ask him about the ISBN (he has to be asked anyway if it is changed). And no, if a title is first published under a pseudonym we variant it to the canonical name and keep the date. Christian Stonecreek (talk) 12:43, 23 January 2023 (EST)
This is his page; that's why I asked here. Also, the book was published as by Pendleton in 1974 but on ISFDB the regular title date is 1970, the date of the original publication under the pseudonym (and nobody bothered to enter the month, either, which was entered for the 1970 book). So I think what I'm asking is if 1974-02-00 should be the Pendleton title date and not 1970-00-00. Plus the ISBN thing, too. Joe? --Username (talk) 12:52, 23 January 2023 (EST)
I'll have to check when I get home. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 13:03, 23 January 2023 (EST)
OK. I think I get it now; however, the month should still be added to Pendleton reg. date like it was for pseudonymous book date. ISBN is the only real issue now; date on copyright page in 1974 is different than numbers on cover which match ID of 1970 book. --Username (talk) 13:29, 23 January 2023 (EST)
I've updated the ISBN on this publication, making a note of the discrepancy on the ISBN from cover to copyright page. I also added a note about the front cover. The date on that pub is already "1974-02-00". ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:30, 24 January 2023 (EST)
OK. Also, I don't know if I'm confused or what, but I still think this, https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?12480, should be 11-00, shouldn't it? --Username (talk) 15:51, 24 January 2023 (EST)
Yes, it should be. Fixed. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:53, 24 January 2023 (EST)

Golden Cord

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?254440; https://archive.org/details/goldencord0000gene_n4e1; page count is 399, not 398, map is mentioned in your (?) notes and there is a map credit on copyright page and a full 2-page map, might be later printing with that number line, so you may want to take a look at Archive.org copy, compare with your PV copy, and fix page count, add map with further note, add link to the copy if it's the same as yours, etc. EDIT: https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?455160; https://archive.org/details/goldencord0000gene; page count is 373, not 386, another map with a later copyright date is mentioned on the copyright page, you may want to look at this, too, and fix/add. --Username (talk) 18:29, 23 January 2023 (EST)

I've updated the printing I have (see here). I think I got rid of the TPB I have as I can't find it, so I removed my verification of that one. I've updated the page count and the notes there and added the map. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:27, 24 January 2023 (EST)
