== Curran Points of View ==
 
 
Hi Susan. Concerning [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?4895570 this] and [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?4895572 this] submission: are you sure that the title is really written as "Curran's Point of View"? LookInside of the Kindle edition shows "Curran Points of View". Might be prudent to ask Bob to confirm, as he has PV'd the pb edition. Generally speaking, if you're correcting a PV'd publication, you should contact the PV if you don't happen to have a copy yourself to confirm that the proposed update is valid and that there's not something else going on. Thanks! [[User:MagicUnk|MagicUnk]] 08:49, 27 January 2021 (EST)

:: I may not have been entirely clear, I meant to ask how the titles are printed in the publication in question (if you would have it in hand, let me know). Since we are recording as printed on or in the actual book, we can't rely on secondary sources for that (after all, it can differ from publication to publication) - in this case, do ask Bob to confirm how it's written in the book he PV'd.

:: It looks like there may be a few different issues here.
 
 
:: First, I don't think these are affiliate links. An affiliate link looks like "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088CPWBWQ?tag=isfdb-20" where "tag=isfdb-20" tells Amazon who referred the customer to them. The links that Ofearna created don't have a "tag=" component.
 
 
:: Second, as [[Help:Using Templates and HTML in Note Fields]] states, we have a special Notes template for linking to Amazon, "ASIN". You can enter <nowiki>{{ASIN|B088CPWBWQ}}</nowiki> in Notes and the software will display the correct matching link automatically. Not only is it easier to enter, but it also ensures that our links to third party Web sites won't become obsolete if and when they change their URL structure -- we'll just need to change the template to reflect the new URLs.
 
 
:: Third, I see that some records like [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?2073630 this one] say "Available at Amazon". However, if you follow the [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00OW4FYJW/ Amazon link], you'll see that  the item is "Currently unavailable". For this reason I would change "Available at Amazon" to something like "See <nowiki>{{ASIN|B088CPWBWQ}}</nowiki> for details". [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 16:26, 9 February 2022 (EST)
 
:::They did have an older version of affiliate link structure that included "susanofearna" as part of the URL. I've removed it from all of those listed above. I agree about the template use, though, including changing the wording to "See ASIN for details". ···[[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> 16:53, 9 February 2022 (EST)

:: Yes, when I write notes to people my edits are sometimes still awaiting approval. Also, you seem to have PV other Jim Warren art books, so I noticed Nosfaratu, which should probably be Nosferatu, and MagicatsII which should probably be Magicats II.

:: Crossroads Press and Crossroad Press are 2 different publishers. Crossroad started in 2009 according to their site and has published 100's of e-books, while Crossroads published limited editions from 1992 to at least 2002, when their last book on ISFDB appeared. Online searching revealed that the last 3 books under Crossroads actually were by Crossroad; 2 PV'd by you and 1 not (Heart of Glass). So I'm just trying to move those later books to the publisher they belong to. I think if you looked at your copies again they would say Crossroad, not Crossroads. --[[User:Username|Username]] 23:53, 21 March 2022 (EDT)

Hi.  We got a question from someone who has work published by ''Theme of Absence'', and that led me to your verified {{P|855697|Theme of Absence}} entry.  It's recorded as a MAGAZINE but isn't quite set up the way a magazine record should be.  It looks like your record corresponds to what is on their [https://themeofabsence.com/story-archive/ archive] as the December 2020 "edition".  What form does your verified copy take?  Do you have some sort of downloadable e-book, or is it just the website itself?  I'm thinking we should change your record to be "Theme of Absence, December 2020" and get it into a Theme of Absence series.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks, --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 08:06, 21 April 2022 (EDT)

Also, Introduction was titled "I'm Gonna Send You Back to Arkansaw" in all editions, apparently, but was just titled "Introduction" on ISFDB, so I made an edit for that, too.

Welcome!

Hello, Ofearna, 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 00:54, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Rat Tales

Would you mind double checking the credit for the story on page 39 of Rat Tales? We are currently showing the second author as by his full name (including middle name) with a variant to his 'normal' name. The author is claiming he never used his full name in publication. If you could double check if this is a database error or the author is mistaken, it would be appreciated. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:27, 20 June 2021 (EDT)

Malefic

Hi Susan. Can you check the essay on page 7 of Malefic? Is it really credited to "Miguelanx Prado" or is it "Miguelanxo Prado". In any case, it should be varianted to Paisajes con Figura. Thanks, --Willem 15:14, 22 November 2021 (EST)

Everdark Cursed

Hello,

I had to reject this one - books more than 90 days in the future are not eligible to be added per our ROA (and any time we make an exception, we end up spending a lot of time updating the book because schedules change and things get shifted, renamed, change covers and what's not). Additionally, a primary verification means you have the book so even if you decide to add in a few months when it is closer to the date, please do not verify until you actually GET the book :)

PS: Hope you are feeling somewhat better! Annie 21:34, 17 February 2022 (EST)

I did pre-order it and I have the ARC, but OK... we'll wait :-) - you can read the user page here to see latest update on local medical establishment trying to KILL me Susan O'Fearna 21:48, 17 February 2022 (EST)
Well... if you verify from an ARC, that needs to be mentioned in the notes because books change between ARCs and actual publications. And even with an Arc, the 90 days rule apply - ARC is not a publication under our standards technically :)
That's why I said that I hope you are feeling better - I saw your notes there :) Annie 22:05, 17 February 2022 (EST)
When it is closet to release my pre-order will send me a notification; I'll wait till then to add it (again) Susan O'Fearna 22:09, 17 February 2022 (EST)

Bell's Beauty and the Steel Beast

Hi Susan -

I'm going to add a disambiguator ("[2]") to the second instance of Julie Bell's "Beauty and the Steel Beast" in this publication. This is how we usually handle multiple instances of artwork with the same title. It will also prevent the software from trying to merge this title with its parent.

Yes, when I write notes to people my edits are sometimes still awaiting approval. Also, you seem to have PV other Jim Warren art books, so I noticed Nosfaratu, which should probably be Nosferatu, and MagicatsII which should probably be Magicats II. Those are the only ones I noticed, but I didn't do a thorough search and didn't do edits to fix them. --Username 18:03, 9 July 2022 (EDT)

http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?2264; I just added OL link to the Bantam copy on Archive.org, and the other non-PV Bantam edition, entered by you in 2016, has the same date but a higher price. Is it possible that was a mistake, in which case that edition could be deleted since the correctly priced edition is here and PV by 2 people? EDIT: I noticed your ISBN is different, too, but it doesn't seem to lead to Klein's book on Amazon and elsewhere, regardless of what it says on their pages, but rather some book called Maximum Impact by Jean Heller, so I have no real clue what's up. --Username 21:11, 20 July 2022 (EDT)
