Adding artist credits to verified pubs

You added a note to The Comet Kings, stating that the cover artist was Herbert J. Bruck . You did not indicate your source for this info. How do you know? Is there a credit in your copy, or is a signature visible, or do you know the artist's style, or do you have a secondary source? It would be helpful if you added a further note giving your source.

Also, it is helpful if you sign these kinds of notes with your ISFDB user ID and the month and year, for future reference of who was able to provide particular information. I have done so for you in this case.

Also, this particular publication has been "verified" by User:Don Erikson. Our local convention is that when adding non-trivial data to a verified publication, we leave a note on the verifier's talk page, in this case User talk:Don Erikson. I have done that for you in this case as well, so this is for future reference. (When changing information on a verified pub, the custom is to ask the verifier first, and wait a reasonable time, say up to a week, for a response)

I hope this is helpful to you. Welcome to the ISFDB. 21:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Artists' references

Johnny Bruck (Herbert J. Bruck , 22 March 1921 to 6 October 1995) did thousands of scifi covers for German publishers since the mid 1950s right up to his very last day. A large set of his works can be found here: http://www.perrypedia.proc.org/index.php/Johnny_Bruck. His style is very distinctive, although he was influenced by many artists of his time, Ed Valigursky, Ed Emshwiller, Frank Frazetta, and Chris Foss, just to name a few. I'll add the source reference in a note with the resp. books. -User:JLochhas 11:46, 30 May 2009 (UTC) For Bruce Pennington I'd have several references:

For Les Edwards there are two extensive sources:

Well, now they are all confimed... Thanks for the support. -JLochhas 14:33, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Caviar

Can you tell me where you get the cover-credit for Les Edwards from? I can't see any sign of a signature or credit. BLongley 12:06, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Similar question for New Worlds 7. BLongley 14:36, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Same for Jizzle. BLongley 21:16, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Same for The Small Assassin, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, Pirates of the Asteroids, Revolt in 2100, Overlay, The Interpreter, The Silkie, and A Sea of Space.
OK, all these updated with notes except for "Revolt in 2100" and "The Interpreter". Sorry about the mix-up on The Small Assassin, I'd forgotten I've got two editions. BLongley 18:27, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
"The Interpreter" also confirmed from Science Fiction Monthly January 1974. BLongley 20:30, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to the wiki

I'm glad you found the wiki, and thank you for indicating the sources you are using to identify cover artists. -DES Talk 13:53, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Latest Edits

Thanks for the latest Josh Kirby credits, accepted with slight clarification as to what the source was being used for. Have you found the source for "Revolt in 2100" yet? I'm being pushed to help clear the approval queue. BLongley 21:24, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

As of today only the following "indicators":

--JLochhas 09:55, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

D'oh! Finally found a credit on the book itself. (In very small print.) BLongley 08:06, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Author Images

Before you submit too many, be aware that we need permission to link to images on other sites. Do you have permission to use images on http://perry-rhodan.net/ ? Or is there a general permission already expressed on the site? (I'm afraid I don't read German.) BLongley 08:39, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

See ISFDB:Image linking permissions for details and a sample note asking for permisison. -DES Talk 12:54, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
I have the submissions on hold pending your response on the permission issue. -DES Talk 13:37, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
I don't read German but babelfish does. I didn't see an explicit permission on the website, but the moderators should be familiar with the concept as they have a text and image linking page where they record permission they receive. (Though it appears they mainly copy text not pictures form other sites). Kevin 14:16, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
I find at http://perry-rhodan.net/information/faq/faq3.html#3 a statement that babelfish translates as "I want to use pictures of your homepage also for my. May I do that? / No, that would be a break of copyright. We arranged however a collection of pictures, which you may use. You find our downloadrange here." I am not clear if this applies to the author images, and it refers to downloading and reusing, not to hot-linking. But it suggests some caution. -DES Talk 14:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
I've submitted a request to the publisher and expect a response over the next couple of days.-JLochhas 14:26, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Thank you. -DES Talk 13:59, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
There having been no response in more than two months, I am going to approve these, then copy the images and upload them to our wiki with a fair use justification. I hope you ahve no objections. -DES Talk 21:11, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Edits approved, images copied, author pages set to use copies on our wiki. Issue dealt with, i trust. -DES Talk 23:05, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
