Internal consistency pass done. Ahasuerus 09:12, 2 Oct 2006 (CDT)


 * Well, I'm actually rather unsure what "internal consistency" means, but even without going into bibliographic details:
 * Why is 174248 GURPS Infinite Worlds listed among novels?
 * Moved to NONFICTION, thanks! Ahasuerus 10:53, 29 Nov 2006 (CST)
 * 156598 The Hand Of Kahless (Star Trek: All) is an omnibus of The Final Reflection and M. J. Friedman's Kahless (1996, not listed at as a part of ST series), apparently without other connecting material; shouldn't it be treated differently?
 * Speaking of which: one of tFR editions at 1758 has a title given as Star Trek 6--Star Trek #16: The Final Reflection which seems rather improbable; so does "Final Reflections". (Cf http://www.locusmag.com/index/b173.html#A2295.14 )
 * And why is 33613 (unnoted reprint) listed as an anthology? (Yup, some sources including one of 3 listings in SFE claim it's an anthology where their comments are added to some stories from the magazine, but no contents or authors' names are given anywhere and it seems rather dubious for such a project, copyright-wise.) Okay, as usual, canned Usenet helped where ordinary Google doesn't, and equipped with that, I was able to find the contents and even a longer review (without the editors' names, so ungooglable normally); for some reason, Contento ignores this.
 * Thanks, I have fixed the most obvious weirdness. Friedman is on the list of authors that will be cleaned up as part of the Star Trek project -- unless we get to him earlier :) Ahasuerus 00:31, 3 Dec 2006 (CST)
 * Straying to shorts (where many "stories" have a poetic form given in subtitle) anyway, 107102's date "1998" (in a 1991 Nebula anthology) seems a typo for 1989.
 * 1988 as per the Locus list of SF awards - thanks! Ahasuerus 23:57, 2 Dec 2006 (CST)
 * That seems to be the worst part for now. --JVjr 09:46, 29 Nov 2006 (CST)
