Sky City
I've accepted the submission adding this record to the database, but made some additions and changes to comply with ISFDB standards. The biggest change was to remove the cover image URL which was linked to an outside server for which we don't have permission to deep-link. It was replaced by a link to the image on Amazon.co.uk. I also disambiguated the introduction, adding the title of the book parenthetically. According to most sources this is a trade paperback, so I entered "tp" into the binding/format field. If you know the titles and dates of the original Danish publications of these stories you can create parent records for each of them. If you're not sure how to do that, ask here and I'll step you through it. You respond to this message by clicking on the [edit] link to the right and type in your message in the edit box that opens. At the end of the message enter four tildes which will sign your user name and date it. Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins 15:27, 26 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Everything looks fine so far. No, I don't know how to create parent records. I'll be happy if you can help. Ommadawndk 12:34, 27 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've tried creating a variant for the first story. Hope it works. But not sure how to indicate which one is the original. Ommadawndk 12:42, 27 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Close - the date should have been "2007-00-00", it needs to be put in in YYYY-MM-DD format. And you should make the existing title a variant of a new, original title rather than adding a variant of the original title. I've fixed those for you. The Danish title is now the original.

 * So I would have to delete all the titles and create new ones, to hook the book up to the variants instead of the main record? Ommadawndk 08:47, 28 April 2012 (UTC) Sorry, no, I see it now. Ommadawndk 08:48, 28 April 2012 (UTC) I hope I got all the data right, especially that the language of all the originals should be Danish. Ommadawndk 09:09, 28 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I accepted all of the variants, fixing one 2017 -> 2007. They looked good.  One thing I wanted to double-check: When the Music's Over is the only one for which the Danish title ended up still worded in English, not Danish.  If that is not correct, please edit it.  Thanks.  --MartyD 11:42, 28 April 2012 (UTC)


 * The title is correct. The same for "Sky City". Great! Ommadawndk 13:32, 28 April 2012 (UTC) Hm. You can't see, that "Sky City" and "When The Music's Over" were translated? Ommadawndk 13:37, 28 April 2012 (UTC)


 * That's a known display bug. Leave it with us and we'll sort it eventually. BLongley 13:45, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

"A Long Way Hime"
I'm holding the submission to change the title of this record. This appears in two different primary verified records, but that's not saying it's correct. Most likely your submission changes it to the correct name. But the proper procedure was to leave a note on the talk page of the primary verifiers, asking them to check their copies and make any correction if necessary. I've done this for you and am waiting for a response. Please follow this procedure in the future before making a submission that changes a verified record. Thanks.
