::::Hi, in the table of contents on page 319 (see: https://archive.org/details/dieweltinhundert00lbbe) you will find "Robert Sloß" and "Prof. Garrett P. Serviß". But both are from USA, so it is the editor who did it wrong in the first place. So I am perfectly fine with the changes.

Welcome!

Hello, VoxUndVoxi, and welcome to the ISFDB Wiki! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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! Hauck 02:06, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

Die Welt in hundert Jahren

Hello, I've put your submission on hold. Before fixing some details, can you confirm that this book is indeed speculative fiction and not a collection of essays in futurology? Thanks. Hauck 02:12, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

Hello, without details forthcoming, I've rejected your submission. Please take some time to study our ROA and eventually submit again. Thanks for contributing. Hauck 02:37, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

Hello Hauck, unfortunately I could not answer your questions in due time. I have re-submitted my entry now.
Regarding your question from above: Actually this book is both. There are SF short stories with a setting in a possible future in 100 years. But there are also prosaic essays, futorology if you want. Some of the chapters start as an essay but then turn into a fiction story. I think that this book (which became quite popular in Germany in 2010, after the 100 years had passed) can be categorized as "utopian literature" in general. VoxUndVoxi 09:27, 8 October 2017 (EDT)

Hello, I have accepted your new submission, many thanks for it. Alas, I had to change the title note and synopsis, as we are an English language database. But many thanks for contributing. Stonecreek 12:08, 8 October 2017 (EDT)
Hi, I've looked at the sources and I would like to propose some changes. Firstly, I can't find a ringel-s (ß), neither in the TOC nor on the title pages of the original. It is Robert Sloss and Prof. Garrett P. Serviss. Perhaps unsurprising, as they are both Americans. Secondly, Björne Björnsen shows up in the original as Björn Björnsen (He might actually be Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Nobel prize winner in 1903).--Dirk P Broer 18:21, 9 October 2017 (EDT)
I accepted Dirk's proposed corrections. --MartyD 21:29, 9 October 2017 (EDT)
Hi, in the table of contents on page 319 (see: https://archive.org/details/dieweltinhundert00lbbe) you will find "Robert Sloß" and "Prof. Garrett P. Serviß".

Well, we want it as provided in the publication, although the title page is the preferred source, not the table of contents. Still, Dirk explicitly mentioned not seeing the use of ß in the TOC, so I don't know if he looked at the same thing you did. I followed the link you gave, and on p. 25 (and p. 27) I see "Robert Sloss". For Professor Serviss, however, p. 297 has "Professor Garret P. Serviss", while p. 299 has "Professor Garret P. Serviß". I would consider the title-and-author-only pages "title" pages and keep the American spellings, but in a case like this, it is worth recording the spelling discrepancies from the other locations in the notes. --MartyD 20:53, 12 October 2017 (EDT)
