Apocalpse
Please confirm the titles of this publication and its contents. "Apocalpse" or "Apocalypse"? Also, is it free? If it wasn't, and the price isn't stated in the book, the Price field should be blank, and the absence of a price should be indicated in the Note field. Thanks. Mhhutchins|talk 17:13, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- Fixed the title and contents (I hope) and will go grab the book to check for price. Susan O'Fearna 03:40, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
- Fixed the price and added a brief description of the title record... for the price, I ordered my copy direct from Norma... Susan O'Fearna 16:19, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
Warrior Smart
You failed to add a SHORTFICTION content record for this publication, which is required for all records typed as CHAPBOOK. 21:39, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
- added it; should I variant the prose version that was included in Bits & Pieces? Susan O'Fearna 22:35, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
Bits & Pieces
Hello Susan, I've approved your submission for this publication (and corrected one tag), but the result is IMHO quite hard on the eye here. Can you tighten your presentation? Thanks. Hauck 17:21, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- Maybe another pass to remove that second < ul > will "tighten" it up Susan O'Fearna 17:50, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hum ;-). I'm no HTML expert, perhaps to many nested <ul > & <li>? Hauck 17:55, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- < br > is supposed to be a single return with no spaces... Susan O'Fearna 18:14, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
Page count for Bits & Pieces
What does the "[ix]" in the page count field represent? If there is significant content on unnumbered pages before the first numbered page, the page count should be given in standard number and in brackets, e.g. "[9]". Roman numbers should only be used if they are actually present in the publication, and not in brackets. You also need to add a record for the content which appears on those pages. If there is no significant content, then the pages shouldn't be counted in the page count field. Thanks. Mhhutchins|talk 21:22, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- Unnumbered... I'll go take it out Susan O'Fearna 21:24, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- I have cleaned up the HTML in the Note field, and moved the Note from the title record of "From Nix's Journal" to the publication record. (If it's ever reprinted the page numbers would change, so it's not a good idea to record them in the title record.)
- One last question: Are you certain that the exact publication date is given in Locus? Last time I looked, Locus doesn't give the date of publication, only the month they receive a copy. If your source is their website, the distinction should be made. When we say "Locus" we're referring to the print publication, "Locus1" is their database, and "Locusmag.com" or "Locus website" would refer to their website. Thanks. Mhhutchins|talk 21:38, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- The release date was already there with the "information provided by Amazon.com and Locus magazine" so I'm not sure who put it or where it came from Susan O'Fearna 21:43, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- When you're doing a primary verification of a record, you should ensure that the notes apply to your verification, and make changes when necessary. I'll change the note to give Amazon as the source. Mhhutchins|talk 21:51, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks so much... you cleared up the spacing issue. Susan O'Fearna 21:59, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
Barbara Michaels vs Elizabeth Peters
I rejected a number of your edits to change the author of several title records from Barbara Michaels to Elizabeth Peters. Barbara Michaels is the canonical name of the author with Elizabeth Peters as one of the pseudonyms that she writes under. For any title by this author there should always be a title record for the canonical name (Barbara Michaels) even if the work was never published under that name. If a copy of any of these novels published as by Elizabeth Peters is added, it should be added as a brand new publication and the resulting new title record should be varianted to the corresponding Barbara Michaels record. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 23:07, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- I was trying to change them to Elizabeth Peters so I could then "Make This Title a Variant Title or Pseudonymous Work" so all the Amelia Peabody works would be [as by Elizabeth Peters] -- now only SOME of them are... Susan O'Fearna 23:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- You could do that in one step by using the "Add a Variant Title or Pseudonymous Work to This Title" tool. What you were doing would have required two steps for each title. The first would change the name to the the Elizabeth Peters pseudonym, and then you'd have to go and recreate the same parent record that you had just changed to a different record. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 23:24, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- OK, I just tried it with Curse of the pharoahs... Susan O'Fearna 23:33, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- OK, The Curse of the Pharaohs is fixed. I believe that the problem with that edit is that you used "Make This Title a Variant Title or Pseudonymous Work". What you want to use is "Add a Variant Title or Pseudonymous Work to This Title". I did this with The Mummy Case and it works in one step. Go ahead and try it with the remaining titles. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 23:43, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- Tried it on Crocodile Snake Dog book Susan O'Fearna 23:56, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- That was essentially correct, but you didn't need to do it for that title. In this cast the title record under the name Elizabeth Peters already existed. However, that is what you need to do for the remaining titles in the series where the variant title doesn't already exist: Numbers 8 - 11. I'll merge the two titles for Crocodile, etc. to fix it up. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 00:01, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- That's 8-11 plus still need to add 13-19 of the series... actually I'm not sure why the Elizabeth Peters books (mysteries) are here... Susan O'Fearna 00:06, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- Cool, I'll add the rest Susan O'Fearna 01:28, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Elizabeth Peters / Barbara Michaels
This author wrote mainly mystery, and would not be considered "above the threshold" enough for those titles to be eligible for the database. Are you certain that the books you're entering are speculative fiction? Mhhutchins|talk 04:01, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Damn, you've done a lot of work which may be for naught. Perhaps you should have questioned on the Community Portal, or the Moderator Noticeboard, or the Help Desk whether the author's mystery books are eligible for the db? I will hold your submissions until it's decided whether her non-spec fic books are eligible. Please begin a topic on the ISFDB:Community Portal. Mhhutchins|talk 04:05, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- books 1-11 of the Amelia Peabody series was already in the databank... I just tried to fill the list for the series/author... I know that she wrote her gothics as Barbara Michaels and her mysteries as Elizabeth Peters with her non-fiction work as Barbara Mertz. Susan O'Fearna 16:26, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- and I was just looking, but you also have 9 Barbara Michaels edits on hold... ? Susan O'Fearna 16:45, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- I have them all on hold, because I'm not certain whether the author falls within our eligibility threshold. I'm not familiar with her work, so I had to do some research. The Wikipedia page on her mentions nothing about her being a speculative fiction author, only one who wrote mystery and suspense, neither of which falls under speculative fiction as defined by the ISFDB. If that's the case, and she's not a spec-fic author, then only those works which have been determined to be spec-fic are eligible for inclusion in the database. Because I can't make a definitive judgement about these works, I placed the submissions on hold. If you can not make a definitive assertion that all of the submissions are for works of spec-fic, or that she should be considered a spec-fic author and that her non-genre work would thus be eligible, then posting a request on the Community Portal to get other opinions about her work would be the best way to determine her eligibility. Mhhutchins|talk 06:43, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- The majority of the books by Barbara Michaels, even the ones I don't consider ghost stories, are dark modern gothics... like in Shattered Silk, where they thought the two women were being haunted by a ghost in the house that WAS haunted by a ghost in Ammie Come Home. It turned out to NOT be ghost stories, but if V.C. Andrews (not Neiderman) is considered SpecFic, Barbara Michaels should definitely be considered here, though I only tried to complete Elizabeth Peters b/c many of her stuff was already here. They *do* deal a lot with Egyptian Mythology, but only from the anthropological/archaeological viewpoint, not as major plot bases. If you don't consider EPeters as belonging here, all her work should be removed except maybe Devil-May-Care. Susan O'Fearna 16:37, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- And, ack, I just noticed you didn't allow my copy of Shattered Silk to be added to the existing title Susan O'Fearna 16:49, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- I guess you're not fully reading my responses. I'm going to start a topic on the Community Portal, since you don't really seem to care to know what the consensus will be. That will help me determine whether I should accept the submissions or not. Mhhutchins|talk 20:49, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
The Fabulous Women of Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell
I added a few notes to this verified pub. My copy does have a dustjacket. Thanks, --Willem 19:45, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Henry J. Ford
In your verified Realms of Fantasy, August 2006, there are two illustrations by Henry J. Ford. Henry J. Ford has been made into a pseudonym of H. J. Ford based on the other works credited under that name. Since these are dated 2006, could you check if they are also by the late-1800/early-1900 illustrator or if it is a different Henry J. Ford that will need to be disambiguted? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 23:35, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Will do... cleaning my library anyway :) Susan O'Fearna 16:30, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
Coloring text
Please do not use HTML to color text in ISFDB records. I've removed it from the Note field of this record. Thanks. Mhhutchins|talk 00:07, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- Got it Susan O'Fearna 07:46, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Sourcing publication dates
Unless it is explicitly stated in the book, please give the source for the publication date given in this record. Thanks. Mhhutchins|talk 00:09, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- I"m not sure what you're talking about as there are several records here... Susan O'Fearna 07:47, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- I'm referring to the record which was linked in the original post: this record. Does the publication explicit state the publication date is March 1, 2016? If not, you need to give the source for that date in the Note field. Mhhutchins|talk 08:29, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- got it, there ya go Susan O'Fearna 08:33, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- One other question: is this the exact title? (With the word "Introduction" in parentheses?) Mhhutchins|talk 08:59, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- It's exactly as scanned in the Amazon look-inside Susan O'Fearna 09:01, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- Not really. I'm looking at the Amazon Look Inside and the title is "Introduction: An Appreciation of Joe R. Lansdale". Also, since you have the book, you shouldn't be using the Amazon Look Inside. Mhhutchins|talk 09:02, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- My point is that it appears exactly like it is in the amazon... Susan O'Fearna 09:04, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- But that wasn't my question. I wasn't asking you to tell me what it looks like in the Amazon scan. I was asking if the title is correctly entered into the ISFDB. Mhhutchins|talk 09:11, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- I think it's fixed now. Susan O'Fearna 00:46, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
Possible Typos 10-Apr
Here are some possible typos:
- anthonology - Anthonology in Tim White Fantasy Art Trading Cards
- commandoes - Commandoes in The Artwork of Boris & Julie: Strokes of Genius
- frontspiece - Clive Barker (Frontspiece) in Now We Are Sick: An Anthology of Nasty Verse
- frontspiece - The Empress of Mars (frontspiece) in The Empress of Mars
- frontspiece - Tarzan: The Lost Adventure (frontspiece) in Tarzan: The Lost Adventure
- frontspiece - Portents (frontspiece) in Portents
- qutie - Not Qutie U. in Like a Charm: A Novel in Voices
Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:45, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- I fixed Quite, but I'm not sure what your other problems are... Susan O'Fearna 00:48, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- "Anthonology", "commandoes", & "frontspiece" are all misspellings. For the first two cases, the original pubs needs to be checked to see if that is actually the spelling used. If not, they should be corrected. If it is, then notes need to be added stating the misspelling is per the publication. For the "frontspiece" cases, I assume these were all added disambiguations and not from the pubs themselves. In such case, they need to be corrected to "frontispiece". -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:40, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Anthonology is spelled correctly. So is Commandoes Susan O'Fearna 18:25, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Susan O'Fearna 22:38, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
Attempt to delete a title in a primary verified publication
Re the Jance title in this publication: Would you want me to allow another editor to delete a content from a record which you have primary verified? Mhhutchins|talk 05:05, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- I tried to delete it (essay/non-genre) the other day and you turned it down... I didn't verify it at all Susan O'Fearna 16:36, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- You misunderstood what I said. Another editor had primary verified a publication record which contained that title, and I could not accept a submission which tried to delete it. I'm sure you wouldn't want another editor to delete a content from a record which you have primary verified. I'm in the process of determining which of those contents are spec-fic, if any, and then I will get with the other editor to see which titles should be deleted from the database. Most likely the Jance title will be deleted. Thanks. Mhhutchins|talk 19:04, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- Yah, thanks Susan O'Fearna 09:11, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Wrong cover image file for Trapped
This file was incorrectly uploaded using the data from a non-matching publication. Please add the publication first, then use the designated link to add the cover image for that specific publication. Once that's done, I will delete the incorrectly uploaded file. Thanks. Mhhutchins|talk 08:04, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
Similar problem with this file. You'll have to upload the file from the correct publication record. Mhhutchins|talk 08:08, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
More problems with this work: In this publication record and this one, the content should be the graphic novel adaptation by Koontz and Gorman, not the novella by Koontz. Mhhutchins|talk 08:12, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
And you didn't give the source for the data that created those last two records. That is always required in records based on secondary source(s). Mhhutchins|talk 08:17, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
One last thing (I hope): the British edition is published by "Eclipse Graphic Novels", not "Eclipse Books" which is the US publisher. Mhhutchins|talk 08:19, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- added notes and new image to UK edition...
- now, added notes and new image to US TP edition...
- I didn't add the contents (was waiting for the books to appear), Hauck did... I posted on his wall a question about how to fix it
- and all three say "Eclipse Graphic Novels" on the cover (back of the HC dustjacket), the title page of mine and the scan of one other user I was able to find online shows the title page says Eclipse Books and that Eclipse Books is an imprint of Harpercollins Susan O'Fearna 16:23, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
The Graveyard Book
Hi. A couple of questions about the submission I have on hold: What's up with the "Publication: "? And is it really "vol" instead of "Volume"? I see it's spelled out on the cover and the copyright page spells it out (and capitalizes it) in "The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel, Volume 1", but the Look Inside doesn't show me the title page. Thanks. --MartyD 02:08, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- It does, indeed, say "vol 1" on the title page, though the copyright blurb and the cover both say Volume Susan O'Fearna 16:09, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, I accepted it and stuck that info into the notes. Seems potentially useful down the road. You didn't say anything about the "Publication: ", so I went on the assumption that it was a mistake and took it out to save you a few edits. If it really does belong, let me know and I'll put it back. --MartyD 01:51, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
Dead Ice
Hi, I modified your submission to meet the ISFDB standards: we don't credit the artist AND the agency / image bibliotheque he/she works for. Thanks, Christian Stonecreek 08:41, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks... I was hoping someone would do that. Seemed an awful lot of credit for some not all that great art :) Susan O'Fearna 18:30, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Hopcross Jilly
Hi. I accepted your changes to Hopcross Jilly, but in changing the title from Novel to Shortfiction/Novella, the publication type of Novel then became inconsistent and inappropriate. If it's shortfiction, the publication needs to be a Chapbook and have a Chapbook container title added. I made those additional changes (please review), so just something to keep in mind for any future changes like this. In a case like this, where there are no other publications sharing the title and you can edit it through edit publication, you could make all of the changes in a single submission and avoid any chance of lingering inconsistency. Thanks. --MartyD 10:57, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
- That was one of my pending edits, to change the pub type to chapbook... Thanks Susan O'Fearna 18:31, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Driven cover
I accepted your submission for Driven, but I removed the cover image URL. I know your note said you're going to provide a local image, but we do not want records linked to places where we do not have permission to do so, and the Subterranean Press site is not one where we have that permission. For now, I put the URL in the cover art record's webpage field. --MartyD 10:25, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've added a local image. Susan O'Fearna 19:58, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Book View Café Publishing Cooperative
I accepted your Starfarers addition, but I think the publisher credit should be reduced/normalized to Book View Café, which we already have. The few Look Insides that are available show the newer ones are using the short form on the title page. I can't tell about the old ones. But the ISBN range is the same for all of them, and the difference doesn't seem like enough to merit separate entries. Take a look at this and see what you think. Thanks. --MartyD 10:40, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- I'll make the change thanks Susan O'Fearna 19:59, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

frontispiece in Saint Odd
Is the frontispiece in Saint Odd titled "frontispiece"? If it's not titled, it should be recorded as "Saint Odd (frontispiece)" instead. Thanks. --MartyD 01:38, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
- cool, I'll change it Susan O'Fearna 03:54, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Stars: Original Stories Based on the Songs of Janis Ian
In the notes of this pub, you state 'Introduction is actually titled "Foreword"'. If that is the case, than it should be entered as Foreword and not as Introduction as it is currently shown. It is likely that the Lucky Bat Books edition changed the title. If that is the case, you should remove the introduction, add a foreword, and variant the foreword to the introduction. If the Lucky Bat Books edition used a different intro entirely from the DAW Books edition, then it should be left unvarianted. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 22:20, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Do you know if there's any way to determine if the introduction and the foreword are the same? There is no Copyright page with dates, etc in the ebook... Susan O'Fearna 03:42, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
- The "Forword" is dated 2002, so I bet it's the same as the "Introduction" — so I varianted it Susan O'Fearna 21:34, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

The Graveyard Book (2016 hardcover)
This is in response to the note in the header of this talk page which has "need someone to add http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0062394495".
The planned publication date is October 4, 2016. Despite the focus on speculative work we generally do not add things that are more than 90 days out. On July 6, 2016 you can submit this as a new publication, citing Amazon.com as the source. I wondered if the $175 pre-order price correct for a book aimed at the children's age 8 - 12 years market. The publisher's page for that book also has $175.
Something that's not clear is if this is a novel that would get added as a publication under The Graveyard Book or if this is an omnibus of the volume 1 & volume 2 version of the book. Do you know if the text in the vol 1/2 editions is the same as the novel? --Marc Kupper|talk 16:38, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Buffalo Gals, Won't You Come Out Tonight
Hello, I've put your submission on hold. You intend to set the "graphic" flag to Yes. Are you sure that, in this case "the main title in this publication is a graphic novel or another type of work in which graphic material is inseparable from the text." (see here) and not an (heavily) illustrated short story that already exists in "plain" format? Thanks. Hauck 20:05, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- For the Chapbook, the illustrations are vital... Susan O'Fearna 20:19, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- I have your new edit on hold. The note "Chapbook is graphic b/c it is, but the novella also appears in prose-only formats..." is not clear, nor is the preceding comment. Is this the same text that has appeared in all these publications? Is so, then it is an illustrated story, not a graphic novel. If the text has been truly adapted into a form that cannot standalone from the illustrations, then you should not be using the same novella record. However, the publication note states "text copyright ©1987 by Ursula K. Le Guin first appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction" which would imply the former and not the later. -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:40, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- As a chapbook, this is a graphic story, but the story itself has also appeared as simple prose.... other than listing about 20% of the images, how else to depict that? Susan O'Fearna 21:42, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- We've only added the images that appeared in other publications Susan O'Fearna 22:50, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
Tarzan und das verschollene Reich
I have accepted your addition of Tarzan und das verschollene Reich (though fixing the titles to be the German title). However, you have the authors listed as Edgar Rice Burroughs & Ruprecht Willnow, but it is varianted to the English title by Edgar Rice Burroughs only. Is Willnow a translator (in which case he shouldn't be listed as an author)? Or did Willnow adapt the story (in which case it shouldn't be a variant)? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:46, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Willnow is the translator for at least 12 Kranichborn Tarzan titles... Susan O'Fearna 22:00, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I've put your submissions on hold. Even if we're starting to be a really international db, all the note fields should be in english (note also that, in some cases, if my rusted german serves well, the information conveyed is not very information-rich). Hauck 08:53, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

ISBN-10/-13

Hi. In the submission I have on hold, you'd make the earlier interiorart a variant of the later coverart. That seems backward to me. Figured I should check and see whether I'm missing something. Thanks. --MartyD 11:00, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- I'll cancel and do it the other way... Susan O'Fearna 16:39, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
Der Zauberer von der Venus
Hello Susan. I had to reject your submission concerning this title : you were trying to variant the German SHORTFICTION to the English COLLECTION. Please try again ! Linguist 09:12, 5 August 2016 (UTC).
- If you'd looked, I changed the German (I just added) to Collection... I'll go re-do it. Susan O'Fearna 09:14, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- True, but I can only see them as they come. Sorry about that. Linguist 09:18, 5 August 2016 (UTC).
- You could have just put it on hold Susan O'Fearna 09:19, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
The Art of Joe Jusko content additions
Hi. In the submission that I have on hold, a bunch of the new interiorart records have an author of "2009-05-09". Is it safe to assume they should all be credited to Joe Jusko? Thanks. --MartyD 10:52, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- I realized that after I clicked submit and didn't want to type them all in again. if you could approve it I'll change them. Susan O'Fearna 10:55, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- Ok, done. --MartyD 11:11, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- Got 'em Susan O'Fearna 16:41, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
Daily Science Fiction for July
I changed the hyphen to a comma. I also stuck in a "partial contents" note for now. It would be a little easier on the moderator (at least on me, anyway) if you added the magazine with the title the pub record will have, rather than with the eventual merged title record's title. Doing it as Daily Science Fiction - 2016 looks like a mistake and leads to extra investigation. Once you have one title record that has the ABC - YYYY format, it's easy to choose that as the survivor when merging in all of the ABC, MON YYYY for the individual issues. And you can leave the merging to the very end of the year's entry if you want to, since there's no duplication. Not a big deal, I just figured I'd mention it. --MartyD 11:11, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- HUH? Susan O'Fearna 16:42, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, it looks like someone changed the April one, too... I just copied the April one. If someone could create one "mag" for each month, I could add the contents. Still not sure what you're talking about "merge" Susan O'Fearna 16:43, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- If you make one new magazine per month, naming them "Daily Science Fiction, January 2016", "Daily Science Fiction, February 2016", and so on for the entire year, you'll end up with 12 so-named titles, each having that month's issue as its only publication. To get one "Daily Science Fiction - 2016", with all of the year's monthly issues associated with it, rename one of the titles to "Daily Science Fiction - 2016", put it into the Daily Science Fiction series, and change its date to 2016-00-00 (it doesn't matter which one you do this to). Then use your favorite technique: (1) Advanced Search -> (Title Search) Title contains Daily Science Fiction AND Title contains 2016 or (2) visit the editor's page and Show All Titles; and select all 12 -- the one you changed, plus the 11 others still having their original names, and Merge Selected Records, keeping the name and year-only date you supplied above (the series should be kept by default).
- Now there already is a Daily Science Fiction - 2016 in the proper state. So you don't need to do that editing, just the search + merge after entry. If you add each month using "Daily Science Fiction - 2016", the merge step is still required, and you have to go back and change the names of each publication to be "Daily Science Fiction, MONTH YEAR". So I'm trying to recommend a way that's less work and that also leaves things in a reasonably good state upon each submission, in case you get interrupted.
- I hope that makes sense. Please do ask about any of it, or hit me with another HUH? if it's clear as mud and I'll try again. :-) --MartyD 17:50, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
- Truthfully, the only stories I'm really concerned with from DailyScienceFiction are by Nina Kiriki Hoffman. I'd add contents if the "magazines" existed, but since creating the webzines correctly seems confusing, I'm not going to add the other "issues". Susan O'Fearna 18:17, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
