Fantasy Book
I have held your submission of an edit of Fantasy Book. Magazine issues are identified by their cover dates or issue numbers, we really need some indication of which issue of Fantasy Book this is for. our page on this magazine shows that we are missing issue for Feb, May, Aug, and Dec 1983, for Feb, May, and Nov 1982, and for Oct and Dec 1981. As several of the stories you list are not in the database, it seems likely that this is one of the above issues. I have the submission on hold, pending further information. -DES Talk 16:44, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Research reveals that this is the February 1982 issue. MHHutchins 02:08, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
- And also from research: The Neville and Burks stories are reprints. The page count should probably be 84 - inside pages + four pages for the covers. All of the fiction entries are apprently short story length. Lela Dowling is elsewhere listed as the only cover artist credited. Other sources also indicate that Dennis Mallonee is co-editor.--swfritter 16:31, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
- I have approved the submisison, then changed the title and date, entered the additional metadata mentioned above and done the needed content merges. But there is still a problems, see ISFDB:Help desk#Merging a Magazine. -DES Talk 21:16, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
