1634: The Ram Rebellion
I would like to add several items to the contents of http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?82092 1634: The Ram Rebellion. The primary verifier is no longer active, you're the secondary. The items to be added include two maps, a cast of characters, a preface and part numbers and titles. Bob 02:01, 22 April 2012 (UTC)


 * You're welcome to take a stab at it. I've got no issues with maps, lists, etc being added to the contents. Kevin 14:47, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Warlord
I added to the notes for http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?53847 The Warlord: LCCN, words from the copyright page, where the artist is credited. I would also like to see added content - map (The Forge), battle maps (both novels), appendix (The Hammer). Bob 16:03, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Conqueror
Like Warlord above, I added similar text to the notes for http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?7882 Conqueror. And like Warlord, I'd like to see similar added content. Bob 16:08, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Queen of Demons
I added the LCCN and where artists are credited to the notes for http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?27108 Queen of Demons. I also added to the content: the endpapers and Author's Note. Bob 22:45, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Pirates of Venus
I added the publication month to Burroughs' Pirates of Venus with a note as to its source. I also linked the Worldcat record. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 12:34, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

At the Earth's Core
I added a publication month to Burroughs' At the Earth's Core, and a not as to its source. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 12:42, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Primate in Forest (From Chapter One: Fifty Degrees Below)
See discussion about this excerpt here. Any thoughts? Albinoflea 05:04, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've checked my book and confirmed the record currently in the database is correct, using the 'Title page trumps all others' general rule. However, If you put a note in the short story record, and also in both publications it appears in, documenting that we've done something different, and what we've done (namely dropped a complex subtitle) I'm okay with it. The key thing is it needs to be documented in both the short story and the publication records. - Cheers Kevin 02:02, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, I've submitted the Title Update and Updates for both of the pubs, including notes as you've suggested. Thanks, Albinoflea 06:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

DAW Collectors publication series
I and a couple of other editors are trying to formalize the DAW Collectors Books publication series. The consensus is that we should include only those publications that explicitly list their DAW number, either on the cover, the spine, or the copyright page. This applies to, apparently, all first editions and to some reprint editions, but not to most of the reprints. You have verified several DAW reprint editions where the notes list the DAW number. However, I can't tell from the wording in the notes whether this number is listed because (i) it was actually stated on the book; or (ii) the number was inherited from other editions with the DAW number listed. If you have the time, I would appreciate it if you could check these reprints and when they have the number actually listed, update the notes to reflect that. For example, adding "(on cover)" or "(on copyright page)" to a phrase like "DAW Collectors No. 123". The publications you've verified that fall into this scenario are:  Lackey and Dixon's The Black Gryphon, 8th printing Andre Norton's The Crystal Gryphon, 4th printing  Thanks much, Chavey 18:51, 15 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the help! I've added those two books to the publication series. Chavey 15:57, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Don't Forget Your Spacesuit
Replaced the amazon image and added minimal notes to [this]. --~ Bill, Bluesman 01:01, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Magazine list
Thanks for adding the appropriate links back to the database from the Wiki Magazine list. I'm wondering if perhaps it would look more organized if it were made into a table. At the moment, it's very cluttered. Lining up the various lists (wiki grid, db grid, db list, etc) into columns would help alot. It will take more effort, but would be easier to do while you're adding the missing links. If you don't have the time or inclination, let me know when you're finished with the links and I'll take a shot at it. Thanks. Mhhutchins 15:38, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Good Idea. I may play with the B's to figure out formatting and then back port it to the A's. Thanks Kevin 15:39, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Wiki Magazine tables
Just wanted you to know that I made a few minor changes to the Magazines page. I added a width attribute of 100% to make the tables consistent, and then changed the column widths from a fixed pixel width to a percentage. Those percentages can be adjusted if you feel any column should be wider than the figures I give. Using percentages instead of a fixed pixel width keeps the columns consistent from table to table regardless of the size of the user's monitor. I hope you don't mind my futzing with your work. You're doing the substantial work, and I'm just working on the aesthetics of the display. Feel free to revert the changes if they conflict with any future plans you may have in mind for the page. Mhhutchins 05:18, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Also, I've placed the "A" titles into a table, but not gone further than that. I see that you're moving the wiki page links from the Magazine category to the Series, so I won't mess with that. Thanks. 18:23, 25 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Works for me. I've been busy for a few days. I'll finish up the table this weekend (if not tonight). - Thanks Kevin 22:20, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

"The Dangerous Days of Daniel X"
Your verified publication had developed a broken link for the cover photo. I replaced it with another Amazon link, but you should probably look at it and verify that this is the correct cover. Chavey 22:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Winter of the World
Added the maps to the contents for [this] --~ Bill, Bluesman 18:16, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

The Door Through Space
Have identified one artist for [this] from another set of covers, linked in the notes. --~ Bill, Bluesman 03:16, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Under the Green Star's Spell
You did third-level verification of. Whelan's Wonderworks has the following illustration labeled for a non-existent book and Hall3730 (primary verify) is not active anymore. Is the picture actually from In the Green Star's Glow? Thanks link O&#39;Fearna 12:32, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Yep. It's the first of 4. They are titled in the notes (Probably from Dragondelights verification). You are welcome to add the individual interior art items as contents items, so you can link the one singular piece which is present in the other book. - Thanks - Kevin 14:32, 20 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh... and I found the source of the error. An 'Editor's Note' appears on page 183. It begins with a reprint of a letter from Lin Carter to Donald Wolheim. The first sentence reads "Unless the post office has goofed again, you should find enclosed herewith a bundle of manuscript which I have entitled In the Green Star's Spell.", So it appears that Spell was the original working title of this book when it was submitted to DAW. Kevin 14:45, 20 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I updated the pub record to add the "Editor's Note", the Appendix, and to also add a couple notes to match my copy in hand - Adding the editors note was important because it includes the working title "... Spell" (instead of 'Glow'). I've left linking or varianting or expanding the interior artwork contents for you. I'm not opposed to either solution (Linking the single interior artwork as a variant, (with a note) or adding 4 separate interior artwork records and linking just the single panel/page which is reprinted- Thanks, Kevin 15:47, 20 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I varianted the (wrongly titled) image from Wonderworks to the artwork from the Lin Carter novel (it's pending now...) -- LMK what you think of how I did that (BTW, the image has been yanked now that we've identified it). O&#39;Fearna 03:00, 21 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Looks fine to me. I approved the submission. Thanks, Kevin 05:14, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Watch on the Rhine - Ringo/Kratman
Added subtitle to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?71778 along with LCCN and OCLC links. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SFJuggler (talk • contribs).

History of the Necronomicon in Black Seas of Infinity
I'm changing the type of Lovecraft's "History of the Necronomicon" from ESSAY to SHORTFICTION since it is an in-universe essay and per this discussion. It appears in your verified publication Black Seas of Infinity. Please let me know if you have a problem with this change and we can discuss it further. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 02:21, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Barr's The Face and the Mask
I'm going to add a few more stories to your three verified listings for Robert Barr's The Face and the Mask. I'll be adding the stories that are detailed in Bleiler's The Guide to Supernatural Fiction. I'll also add the source to the notes where appropriate. I also wanted to inquire as to whether your primary verifications of the two earlier printings are from an actual book or from the Google and Internet Archive listings. I've been entering a bunch of books from those two sources and hadn't thought to do primary verifications. There was this discussion a while back which seems to indicate that those who chimed in would support primary verifications from such sources. If that's what you're doing I may as well do it too. Of course, if you've got actual copies, then please ignore my rambling on. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 02:19, 6 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Ron - No Problem with the additional Spec-Fic contents. And yes, when I can provide a link to a permanently accessible (i.e. Google and Archive.org) set of scanned pages, I've been treating this as a primary verification for years so long as I provide the link. In some rarer cases when I may have access to a complete page scan set, that may not be available to the general public, or that may not be available permanently, I've been archiving a downloaded copy, and marking it as a primary verification with no additional comment. -  Kevin 17:51, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Double verification
Two primaries for [this]?? One copy you're keeping and one not?? ;-)) --~ Bill, Bluesman 19:39, 22 May 2013 (UTC)


 * An error of duplication. Thanks! - Kevin 03:17, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Citizen of the Galaxy
Appears we have another set of Heinlein 'twins'! [1] and [2]. Differences explained in the notes. Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 02:05, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Analog, April 2012
My ebook shows Brass Tacks and Upcoming Events should be essays, not shortfiction Funslinger 13:43, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
 * the story "The Most Invasive Species" as a novelette, not a novella
 * the story "Ecce Signum" as a novelette, not a novella
 * the essay "A Reference Library Supplement" to be titled "The Reference Library Supplement"

Catherine Shaffer is an alternate name for Catherine H. Shaffer Funslinger 15:45, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Analog, July/August 2012
Funslinger 20:34, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The title of the Science Fact article should be "Fluffy Impact: What LCROSS Found When It Hit the Moon". LCROSS is an acronym.
 * Catherine Shaffer is an alternate name for Catherine H. Shaffer

The Return
Is it possible that The Return's cover art is by THOMAS Tenery, not THOMSAS ? Susan O&#39;Fearna 16:48, 26 November 2013 (UTC)


 * The Amazon Look-Inside clearly shows the credit as "Thomas Tenery". I have given Ofearna instructions to correct the publication record's credit. Mhhutchins 00:47, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

The High Crusade
Hello, I've added cover artist Jack Faragasso for this publication, see faragassoart.com. Horzel 22:12, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Pain's Collected Tales: Volume One
In, the 1916 Stokes edition, you had a note:
 * Bleiler (And the preface of the collection) indicate that this was originally published by Martin Secker out of London, though no online scans of that prior edition have been identified at this time (Kpulliam - Sept 2010)

SGale, however, found that edition for sale via BookFinder.com, describing binding, boards, etc., and added it and suggested removing your note in this edition. It seemed appropriate, so I have done that. Feel free to restore, or to restore in modified form, if you disagree. Thanks. --MartyD 12:18, 19 January 2014 (UTC)


 * If someone has verified its existence, then the note has served it's purpose. - Thanks - Kevin 23:22, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
