Black Gate
Thanks for the submission! Here's the review and comments on your first attempt - don't be disheartened, it's actually a pretty good start. :-)


 * The title "Black Gate" needs to be a bit clearer about which issue it is. We've only got Black Gate: Adventures in Fantasy Literature, Summer 2001 and Black Gate, Spring 2007 so far, but one or the other format is a good guideline.


 * "Tag" - leave that alone, the system will generate one for the publication. It's supposed to be unique, so "Fantasy" isn't a good choice.


 * "Price US$7.99" is fine by me, but someone else might tell you that "$" prices are assumed to be US dollars by default. Our Canadian editors haven't kicked up much of a fuss over that so far though. ;-)


 * Cover image looks good, but do you have permission to use Blackgate's images? Some sites are happy to let us use their images, sometimes with a link-back requirement.


 * PubSeriesNum "1" looks sensible, but not without a PubSeries that it can be number 1 of.

Anyway, welcome aboard, and I look forward to more entries. Thanks for editing! BLongley 02:25, 18 November 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, I've whacked it around a bit and the result is . I added the page numbers that Locus records for this issue, and adjusted the dates to the on-sale date (November 2000) from the Black Gate website. (We normally use cover date, but when it's a quarterly it helps to put a more specific date on so they sort right.) I've also uploaded the cover here so that we don't have to use Black Gate's servers. One question - you've listed five cover artists. Are the last four actually for interior art? If so, they should be put in as contents with the name of the piece they're illustrating. 14:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
