The original publication date got changed to 14th century. Could someone revert it please? It looks like it's one of those where the edition with the wrong publication date needs to be tracked down.

Here's the Wikipedia article where you can check actual dates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreakAngels


message 13: by Grace (new)

Grace (justonce) | 66 comments And this should be 2005 not 1977. Thanks http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43...

Grace (justonce) | 66 comments Notes on a Scandal was 2003, not 1993. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

Sorry for the multiple posts, I'm going back through my shelves and keep finding more.

The Wikipedia article has pub dates for the trade paperbacks, which are often not the same as the original publication dates.

True, but it says elsewhere in the Wiki article that the project was first launched (as a webcomic) in 2008.

Ah. Maybe someone more familiar with the series should take a look.

All fixed.


message 21: by Ed (new)

Ed (mysterioused) | 30 comments My stats graph by publication date looks weird.
Outlier data points trace to :
The Black Mountain by Stout, Rex Pub: Jan. 1, 0164
and
Fireproof by Kava, Alex Pub: Jan 1, 1212.

How do I cite the works by http:// reference?

Thanks.


message 22: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments OK fixed. One had accidentally had the page count in the publish date area, and the Fireproof one needed to be merged anyway.

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments 25 done. That one was a pain.


message 28: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Got 27.


message 29: by Grace (new)

Grace (justonce) | 66 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21... has the publication date as 1382; it should be 1943.

It also has the characters' names in an Arabic script (for all editions). Their names in French & English editions are Françoise, Pierre and Xavière.

Gebanuzo | 50 comments Done?


message 32: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31545 comments According to Wiki, the Iliad is 8th Century BC. So I've changed it to that.


message 33: by Sandi (new)

Sandi Thanks. In the meantime this one got changed:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/83...


message 34: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Fixed.

Note: the 8th century BC would be 700 BC to 800 BC. So I put both The Iliad and The Odyssey at 750 BC.


message 35: by Sandi (new)

Sandi Thank you Vicki!


message 36: by Sandi (new)

Sandi Another one that now shows as 14th century:
