== Welcome to Oceanopia! ==

You have submitted an edit creating a variant of {{T|871053|Welcome to Oceanopia!}}. The variant appears to be identical to the existing record, and thus has no point. Am I missing something? 

The submitted edit is:

{| border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"
!Column !! Make Variant [{{T|871053|Record #871053}}] !! Variant of [New Title]
|-
|'''Title''' || Welcome to Oceanopia! || Welcome to Oceanopia!
|-
|'''Year''' || 2007-12-00 || 2007-12-00
|-
|'''TitleType''' || SHORTFICTION || SHORTFICTION
|-
|'''Authors''' || Katharine Sparrow || Katherine Sparrow 
|}

Did you perhaps hit enter before changing the author or title? What was your intent here? I have this edit on hold, pending your response. -[[User:DESiegel60|DES]] <sup>[[User talk:DESiegel60|Talk]]</sup> 20:43, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

:The author name is actually different: Kath_a_rine Sparrow vs. Kath_e_rine Sparrow; this is why I made the former an alternate name in the previous edit. I checked her homepage, this is in fact the same person. So it's apparently a typo in the Aeon Twelve ToC.[[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 01:15, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

::I am the one who let the the initial author pseudonym attribution go through and I am  also the verifier of Aeon 12. At that time I double-checked and the Aeon 12 attribution is indeed spelled incorrectly in the pub. It's generally good protocol to inform the verifier of a pub when a change is being made that will affect one of the pubs they have verified or even check with them before you make the change. Glad you noticed the variant spelling. Glad to have your eagle eye at the ISFDB.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 13:05, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

:::Sorry, I didn't know that I should inform the verifier first, I'll do that in the future! [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 13:41, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
::::I'm sorry, I didn't notice the "e" vs "a" difference in author names. I have now approved the variant. -[[User:DESiegel60|DES]] <sup>[[User talk:DESiegel60|Talk]]</sup> 14:44, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
::::As to notifying a verifier, it is a good idea. If a change involved adding a cover image, or adding to the the notes, such as addign an OCLC number, or filling in a field left blank, you can generally notify the verifier at the same time (just before or just after) you make your edit. If the change seems major, and in particular if it involves removing or altering any info in the existing record, it is a good idea to ask the verifier first, and wait for a response. See [[Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs]].  Some verifiers have notes at the tops of their talk pages indicating the kinds of changes the do and do not wish to be notified of, and/or linking to a special page for such notifications. -[[User:DESiegel60|DES]] <sup>[[User talk:DESiegel60|Talk]]</sup> 14:44, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

== Flurb ==

I don't know if you were planning on entering more issues of Flurb but, if you are, I would suggest waiting. As you will see on the [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Policy Policy page] there are only three webzines that are currently authorized. The Flurb entries were entered under the radar. Also, I looked at their website and noticed that their back issues are not organized on an issue by issue basis which makes it impossible to verify them. We are gradually working towards webzine policies and there are some other webzines that would probably be acceptable if someone were willing to do the work.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 19:15, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

:I didn't plan to actually add the other issues, just came across these three issues without a Wiki page. I agree that other webzines should have higher priority anyway. [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 19:30, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

::Thanks. Without past issues being in issue format it would have been difficult to do anyway. Now we know they are there. I will probably put a note on the wiki page saying that no more issues should be entered. Always nice to have a fresh set of eyes looking at the data.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 21:40, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

== ''The Princess and the Lord of Night '' ==

I approved your edit changing this from a NOVEL to a CHAPTERBOOK, and changing the fiction title from a NOVEL to SHORTFICTION. However, the 2nd edit changing the fiction title to a CHAPTERBOOK would not have had the correct result, and i am about to reject it. I did add a CHAPTERBOOK title record. The result is {{P|184429|here}}.

In general a CHAPTERBOOK publication will have three records associated with it. The first is the CHAPTERBOOK type publication record. This represents the actual publication, and includes details like the publication date, price, ISBN, publisher, page count, etc. The second is the SHORTFICTION type title record. This represents the text of the fiction, and will be associated with every publication of this text, whether in a "chapterbook", collection, anthology, or whereever. The third is the CHAPTERBOOK type title record. This stores title-level fields like series info. It will be associated with every "chapterbook" publication of the fiction, but not with other publications.

When converting a NOVEL to a CHAPTERBOOK one must convert the NOVEL publication record to a CHAPTERBOOK, and the NOVEL title record to SHORTFICTION. One must then edit the publication and ADD a new title record of type CHAPTERBOOK. Chapterbooks are in many ways like one-item collections. Collections also have a COLLECTION title and a COLLECTION publication record, and several SHORTFICTION title records (and possibly essay or interiorart records also). See [[ISFDB:Chapterbook cleanup]] for more examples, before & after. -[[User:DESiegel60|DES]] <sup>[[User talk:DESiegel60|Talk]]</sup> 23:58, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

:I see - Thanks for the info (I was looking for instructions like these, but didn't find anything...) -[[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 08:14, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
:I hope I got it right this time (for John Crowley's Conversation Hearts); so basically for changing a Novel to a Chapterbook, I have to make all three changes as described above in the same dialog (editPub), is that correct? Thanks -[[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 17:22, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
::Your edits to {{P|259404|''Conversation Hearts''}} look correct. You do need to make all three changes. You do not have to make them all in the same edit. If a novel has multiple publications, its type cannot be changed from the editPub dialog, but must be changed from an EditTitle dialog instead. The addition of the CHAPTERBOOK title record can be done at the same time, or in a subsequent edit.
:::I was going to hold your edit because it had been primary verified, but I see you notified the verifier, and that he hasn't posted to the wiki since August, so i don't see any point in asking you to wait for his response. However, in future, when making major changes (and a change from novel to chapterbook pretty clearly is major) to a verified pub, it is generally a good idea to ask and get a response (or wait for several days with no response) before proceeding. See [[Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs]]. Also it is helpful if when notifing a verifier (or asking one for permission to make a change) that you include a link to the relevant publication record. Template {{tl|P}} can be used for this purpose.
:::I have approved your edit to ''Conversation Hearts''. -[[User:DESiegel60|DES]] <sup>[[User talk:DESiegel60|Talk]]</sup> 17:58, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

== Richard Royale? ==

You have a "Make Pseudonym - unknown" submission and then a "Remove Psuedonym - unknown" following it. From the Moderators end it is sometimes difficult to determine intent.--[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 15:36, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

:It's currently the wrong way around (compared to other pseudonyms used by 'unknown'): Richard Royale is the only pseudonym appearing as 'Used As Alternate Name By' under {{A|unknown}}, where it should appear as 'Used These Alternate Names'. -[[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 16:32, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

::You can blame the dummy who verified [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?SFSTRBMAR1957 the pub] and either created the error or did not notice it. Another reason I held this was so to remind myself to check the source of the pseudonym attribution. Not Contento, Strauss or Tuck; the only source I have is McGhan who credits Metcalf. I have documented in Royale's [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Author:Richard_Royale Bibliographic Comments page], something we should do more often. Don't be hesitant to harass me with any questionable entries in my verified pubs. Thanks. --[[User:Swfritter|swfritter]] 17:07, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

== Lawrence Santoro ==

Have two edits on hold. The first wants to make a variant title of a story that only exists (at least on the database) in one publication. The reason for the variant seems to be that the story, as currently recorded is credited to Lawrence Santoro minus the "P.". If, in this publication, the author's name does have the "P." then it should simply be updated, not made into a variant. The same applies to the creation of the pseudonym (second edit). If the one story's authorship is simply entered incorrectly (I am hoping you have the book), that does not mean there is a pseudonym. This is the only story that is credited to Santoro with no 'P.' Sounds like it might just need to be edited/corrected. Thanks for editing! ~Bill, --[[User:Bluesman|Bluesman]] 19:14, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

: I don't have the book myself, unfortunately. The Locus index has the author as "Lawrence Santoro" without the "P.", therefore I haven't corrected the author. Thanks -[[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 21:31, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
:: Locus is probably the source of the record in the first place. Will approve the edits and if someone eventually has the book then it can be looked at again. Thanks for editing! ~Bill, --[[User:Bluesman|Bluesman]] 22:57, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

== Disassembly ==

Greetings! Do you happen to have [[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?AMAZSUM2000 this]] issue? Since it is unverified, it is possible the entry was a typo from it's original creation in the DB, which would make the variant you submitted unnecessary. I see in the record that in the Barrett essay "Sciense" is in the title when one would expect "Science", so if that is a typo then another one for the M[a]cDonald story wouldn't be a stretch. I've asked Mike Hutchins to check what Locus has, as he has the CD with all their magazine listings, otherwise I don't know where else to check. However, Mike's availability is quite low at the moment so there might not be a response for a few days. ~Bill, --[[User:Bluesman|Bluesman]] 18:07, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
: Seems the entry was a typo, see [[http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/User_talk:Mhhutchins#Amazing_Stories.2C_Summer_2000 this]] discussion, so I just edited the name in the magazine record. Cheers! ~Bill, --[[User:Bluesman|Bluesman]] 23:45, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

== ''The Amount to Carry'',  by Carter Scholz ==

I added a cover image, from Amazon, for your [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?299892 verified copy] of this book. [[User:Chavey|Chavey]] 11:38, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

== Nature ==

I changed the date of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?369716 this issue] (and the McIntyre story) to 2008-07-10, based on the date you gave in the title. The date field should match the date if explicitly given in the title. It's OK to enter these nonfiction, nongenre magazines as long as you follow the guidelines.  This one looked good, so you can proceed to add any other issues that have spec-fic content.  (Just remember the thing about the date field.) Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 03:01, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

: Thanks, I'll do it like that for further issues. What about the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pe.cgi?26905 Series Bibliography] - should I add further years there as well, and would that automatically add the respective issues to the 'Issue Grid' or how is that done? [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 20:28, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

::It's not automatic.  It must be done through a manual submission. You go to the editor's page, and then update the editor record by adding the series (Nature) in the appropriate field.  Because of the number of issues involved, in this case, it's better to merge all the issue of any given year into one record.  Please ask if you need instructions on how to merge editor records.
::Also, as I said above, the story's date should be the same date as the issue.  If you leave the date blank, the system automatically dates all content entries with the same date given in the pub record.  All of the submissions today are giving the story's date as "2009-00-00", while the issues are day-dated.  Unless you're certain that these stories are reprints leave the date field blank in the content section of the submission. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:27, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

:::Sorry, I missed the part about the story date. I'll just leave it blank, then. Thanks [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 09:20, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

:::Regarding the merging of the issues, I'd do it via "Show All Titles" of [[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?116842 Editors of Nature]], and then via checkboxing all the issues to merge, plus "Nature - 2009" (in this case), using the latter as the merge title/date etc. - Would that be correct? Thanks [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 15:56, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

:::: Yes, that would be right. [[User:BLongley|BLongley]] 16:56, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

== ''The Fourth Invasion'' ==

I can't find any other corroboration that Henry Josephs was really Robert Lowndes on ''The Fourth Invasion''.  I do see that Project Gutenberg listing, but I'd prefer to see some other academic sort of citation.  I have the submission on hold for the moment, while I keep looking.  --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 23:50, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

:Ahasuerus found Tuck lists Josephs as a Lowndes pseudonym.  In it goes, sorry about the delay.  --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 02:04, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

== Conjunctions 39 ==

You and [[User:Don Erikson|Don Erikson]] have verified separate publications of <i>Conjunctions 39</i>: {{P|430596|Erikson's}}, {{P|86800|yours}}. These publications have the same ISBN, price, & page count and similar content, but different subtitles and editors. Would you mind checking with Don to see if these are the same publication with database discrepancies or if it's truly two different versions? I will post this at Don's talk page as well. Thanks. --&nbsp;[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] ([[User talk:JLaTondre#top|talk]]) 17:36, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

::I'm going to remove my entry as a duplicate. If you want I'll added the two items to the contents. And add Straub as a co-editor.[[User:Don Erikson|Don Erikson]] 19:19, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

== ebook editions of ''Fantasy Magazine'' ==

I've accepted the submission to add [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?436868 this record] to the database. You asked a question in the Note to Moderator field about dating. (We suggest that you ask questions ''before'' making submissions on the [[ISFDB:Help desk]], which may save you time and effort. Questions asked in a submission can not be answered directly and may be overlooked.) 

Now, to your question. It's OK to use the original publication date of the issues, but it would be a good idea to also add the actual publication of the ebook edition (November 2013) in the Note field. And noting the formats of the ebook is also suggested. (Look at the section for "Electronic books and periodicals" [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:Screen:NewPub#Pub_Format_.28Binding.29 here].) Thanks for contributing. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 18:40, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

: ok - I'll continue with submissions of further Issues, then, including the additional information as suggested. [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 20:13, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

== Subterranean ==

Thanks for adding the latest issues of this title. I've changed the editor credit of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?437198 this record] and made appropriate changes in the Note field. A question: where did you get the publication date? According to [http://www.jonathanstrahan.com.au/wp/2014/01/02/subterranean-out-now/ the guest editor's blog], this issue didn't appear until after the first of the year. Also, where did you find the cover art credit? I downloaded the ebook of that issue and it wasn't credited. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 01:48, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

:The issue was either published in late December, or early January. There is a blog post from Greg Egan dated December 31st [http://www.amazon.com/Greg-Egan/e/B000AQ3HJA here (sidebar)], so it may have been already out by then. I tracked down the cover artist via Google image search, see e.g. [http://www.blackgate.com/2011/11/26/the-art-of-richard-anderson-princes-kings-and-sorcerers/ here]. [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 21:57, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

::It is ISFDB policy to record the source for all unstated data in the Note field of the publication record. Appreciate it. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 22:19, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

I changed the type of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1687564 this record] from NONGENRE to SHORTFICTION with a novella length. The NONGENRE type is limited to novel-length work. Have you read the story or have a reliable source to confirm that it is not sf? If so, you can add that to the Note field of the title record. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 01:51, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

:ok, I didn't know that. I have read the story, it's a cold war era spy thriller; see also e.g. [http://www.locusmag.com/Reviews/2013/09/lois-tilton-reviews-short-fiction-early-september-4/#subt1309 here]. I added a note as suggested. [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 21:57, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

== Lavie Tid(h)ar and ''Painting Walls in the Town of N'' ==

I rejected your varianting of a title Lavie Tidar to Lavie Tidhar. The entry was likely entered as a typo and I changed the author to Tidhar.

: The data is from the publisher's [http://www.fantasy-magazine.com/store/ website], and the author is given as 'Tidar' there. So it's a typo by the publisher - Shouldn't it be listed as such in that case? [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 18:36, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

::Well, yes, if it actually ''was'' published under the false name. But as the publication isn't verified we really don't know, we only know that it was falsely put onto a webpage. The best thing is to note the possible typo in the publication's entry (which I'll do).

I also have put your submission for a variant of ''Painting Walls in the Town of N'' on hold. What's your reasoning behind this submission, since there's no title with your proposed variant? [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 16:00, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

: That was the title of the story as published on the web (see [http://www.fantasy-magazine.com/fiction/painting-walls-in-the-town-of-n/ here]), and it seems to be the preferred title (see the author's [http://www.stephaniecampisi.com/bibliography/ webpage]). I probably should have added a 'note to moderator'. [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 18:36, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

::From the look of the publisher's webpage in this case the shortfiction appears to actually have been published under your proposed variant title. So I rejected your submission (somewhat paradoxically, because you seem to be right in your intention), and retitled the entry instead. Thanks for finding this. [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 11:53, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

== Capitalization rules ==

I changed the title of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1694760 this record] to "A Game of Self Deceit". The capitalization rules are given under the "case" subsection in [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:Screen:NewPub#Title these instructions].  Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 20:56, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

: Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. I made that submission via the web API, and I'd like to submit further issues of this magazine in the same way, because that's much faster (and at the same time hopefully less error-prone) than using the browser-based form. I'll post batches of about 20 submissions, as suggested [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Web_API here]; is there anything else to consider when using the web API? [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 22:06, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

::You should post that question on the Community Portal. I know absolutely nothing about API. Sorry. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:01, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

== Spec-fic stories in Nature ==

Are you certain that you're only creating records for spec-fic stories? [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 19:44, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

: I only include the 'Futures' section, there is one story per issue. 'Futures' is labelled as "Nature's Science-Fiction column", so the content should actually be SF, and fiction as well (see e.g. [http://www.nature.com/nature/focus/arts/futures/index.html here]). Is there a specific entry you're not sure about? Some of them may be by authors not listed yet in the ISFDB, but I don't think they should be excluded for that reason. [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 22:38, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

::The link you provided to their website makes it clear that the stories are science fiction. Thanks.

::BTW, I'm uncertain what you mean by "SF, and fiction as well..." All spec-fic is fiction. All fiction isn't spec-fic.  Fiction about science and scientists isn't necessarily science fiction. We only document speculative fiction. The author not being in the database has never been a factor for inclusion. Otherwise they'd never be any new authors entered into the database! [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:42, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

:::You're right, that didn't make much sense ... I guess I meant to say that the 'Futures' content is always fiction, as opposed to e.g. future-oriented essays ('Speculative Non-Fiction'?). [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 10:03, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

::::Got it. :) [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 19:33, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

== Nature magazine format ==

Looking at photos of issues of this periodical, and the OCLC listing showing it to be 26-28 centimeters, it seems to indicate that it is "quarto" format (approximately 8.5 x 11"). Because it is based in the UK, it could also be classified as "A4", but that would indicate a larger size (29-30 cm).[[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 19:47, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

:Only two issues have been verified, and both were entered as "quarto". [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 19:50, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

::"Quarto" seems to be correct: The 'Futures' stories are often available as PDFs, which apparently show the actual page from the respective issue, see e.g. [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v506/n7487/pdf/506260a.pdf here]. The PDF file properties indicate a page size of 8.27" x 10.87". Based on all this, should I go ahead and enter further issues as "quarto"? [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 20:24, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

:::If you're up to it, to round out the project, I would suggest linking their title records to the online publication of each story. (There's a webpage link field for titles.)  That's your call. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 20:31, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

::::I'll think about it ... I'd do it immediately if there was a way to add links for stories directly when submitting a new publication (instead of having to add the link via "Edit Title Data"). [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 18:26, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

== Changing issue dates for Nature ==

When you change the publication record's date, you should also change the date of its content (the story). That doesn't happen automatically. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 23:11, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

[http://www.readcube.com/articles/10.1038/433200a This] answers my question. I change the credits for each individual story. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 16:50, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?92101 this publication record]: I changed the ISBN to the ISBN-13 (stated on both the copyright page and the back of the dustjacket), and added the subtitle, a content record for the author's note, and a few more notes to the Note field. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 17:11, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

== Unlikely Story ==

Re [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?491902 this publication]: publications typed as MAGAZINE should not be entered into a publication series. The EDITOR [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1799449 record] should be entered into an editor series. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:43, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

:ok, I just thought this could be used to put the issue no. somewhere. Should I use the note for that? Also, in general these kinds of restrictions are sometimes hard to keep in mind - is this stated anywhere in the help? [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 09:17, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Also, price should be given as "$0.00". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:45, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
:I'll fix that as well. [[User:Fsfo|Fsfo]] 09:17, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

::Yes. Use the Note field to add the issue number if it's not present on the issue's cover or contents page. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:29, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

::I've gone ahead and removed the publication series, and added the EDITOR record to a series "Unlikely Story". [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 00:30, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
