Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.
Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.
I hope you enjoy editing here! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will insert your name and the date. If you need help, check out the community portal, or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Mhhutchins 15:53, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
Sky Dragons
Hi Mirokado, I've put on hold your edit to make Sky Dragons part of the 'Dragonriders of Pern' series. No problem with that as it's the right edit, but you've also added a series number of "482", which is extraordinarily prolific even for Anne McCaffrey. ;) Where does the number come from, or was it added in error? Thanks for contributing. PeteYoung 12:40, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking carefully. I had misunderstood "series number" as the isfdb record number. Can we please add the series without a series number, as for the preceding book Dragon's Time? Will you do that or do you need another update from me? Thanks. --Mirokado 15:59, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- No that's OK, it's quicker and easier all round to approve your edit and remove the number myself. The series number is that which appears before the title on any author's page (e.g. see McCaffrey's Acorna series), and is simply the number in an author's series of titles. Thanks.
