Clarkesworld & Lightspeed short story records
jepp meant A Que, not sure if that should be an article or a initial)did you see #487? (might got missed because of the disussion posts after it)
Going back to check #487A Que: "Do not change this author's name to "A. Que"--A is not an initial.
阿缺 A Que is how the author prefers their name to be written. Standard pinyin is Ah Que, however-阿 ah (in this context) is a prefix used before nicknames. A Que is a pen name, means something like "Dummy" or "Blockhead.""
I still have to consciously remind myself each time I see it though!
CW 123 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...(there were quite some ... already two merged by me and now looking at the rest)
#503 OMG I read "there's no note on the profile" (although preferring wouldn't be a reason for GR ;)But tripped into a rabbit hole ... the Paul McAuley books do miss the middle name initial on all of his older books/editions it seems (at least the ones I saw at the first page) what a fun project with so similar names and a GR author profile.
(so am a bit distracted now from the short stories :D)
If he adds the initial consistently later, we can add it to all works as "most complete form" of his name. :)
nope, he doesn't use it (in most languages) since 2000 *sigh* (although in an after 2000 CW issue he was still listed with it)
that https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... from #499 is not through yet(saw it while merging another one of that issue)
That's cos it's the last of the three :) I have to wait for each one to complete before queuing the next one.(Is gone now)
is "The Orphan" another magazine?`https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...The link doesn't work for me and I couldn't find a record (so eventually not valid at all...)
and same goes for "Nature" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (on HP of author she mentions only that it's published there)
according to the reviews that seems to be read in a podcast https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...so it should go right?
And the edition with cover might go to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... then
Last I heard Nature (Like New Yorker, etc.) wasn't considered valid. Same for Podcasts.#515 Queued
#516 I'd say merge into anthology as I have no idea what The Orphan is. Well unless you can find a legit record for the publication already on :)
#518 Merging down to one edition then OK to combine with the anthology.
That "Nature" journal always tricks me ... always wonder why there are short stories and not ... nature stuff :)Podcastle is what the name says? Just a podcast?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
And if: should it go into CW or into the HC what was the end result of the short story?
thanks for the merges Emy
Podcastle is an online-only serial, so currently not acceptable (sadly!). Luckily their site usually lists where they got the work from* so it's relatively simple to track down.* Well they did last time I looked there, but that was a few years ago so not sure now, but I hope so!
Empty Places should be ready for combines in a few minutes - last edition queued into main now.
empty places is combined https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...(I checked via Look inside, it's included there so no wrong cover)
These New Yorker stories are always crazy ... they get so many shelvings/ratings in just no time ... always am irritated by the amount.
nothing to merge but Elizabeth may want to add the Hugo nomination to it? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
I am once through all CW issues now - will give it a few months until I start with #1 again I think
Elizabeth, before I separate and sort the English editions here, can you confirm that the award entries are on the correct edition: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...https://www.goodreads.com/award/show/... has both the Short and the Anthology.
Awards populate all editions, just like series. How are you going to separate and merge? I'm not sure how the award gets deleted from an edition during separation.
I need to separate the English ones from the non-English edition, then combine with the anthology etc. Where the awards go seems to be something of a roulette - usually with the Primary edition (one of those to be separated here), but occasionally not! Currently I suspect that they'll stick with the English editions.
Yep, I thought they would stay with the default. I think leave them on the anthology for now, but I'm going to go ask in the policies thread about whether leaving the award on an edition which is just a translation. I did that on an Italian edition upthread (#500 to remind me) but it just doesn't feel right.(And linking the Hebrew edition here so I don't lose it.)

Link to question regarding stories and awards.

Thanks! I think this is somewhere we have a good need for clarification :)I've done the separation now, since you have the link to the Hebrew edition, and all the awards have stayed with the English editions: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
I am suspicious that at least one will need to be moved since it's a French translation prize, but not sure where to...
#529I have clarification from Rivka. The standalone, regardless of whether it is a translation, needs to carry the award. I don't have time left tonight (nor maybe wits enough) to finish this, but I'll take care of it tomorrow.

I'll hold off the combine-to-merge until you're done. No rush!
#529Award moved to Hebrew edition and removed from Anthology.
Combined and merge queued :)Thanks for the help!
Carve Magazine 2009-2010 How The Tiger Got Its Stripes, to mergehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
award already done

Most do not.

True, as part of the online version of the magazine.
Ken wrote: "That is a separate publication."
No, not according to Goodreads policy. They are still published as part of the magazine, which is not a separate publication.
Getting on with these now. Nice break from chasing down Amazon 1-click series records...Corinne, since you can't combine, something that I'd find really helpful for you to add:
1. Any other shorts in that anthology - often where one is added from an anthology, so are others
2. The name of the (first) editor or just "author collection" will do :)
#548 Queued#549 is a little more complicated as I can only find the Russian translation in a separate work. Working on this
#550 Gradually queuing the individuals then into anthology once there's only one left
#551 Waiting on other merge but will queue as soon as I can
Corinne wrote: "msg 553#1 you mean search on GRs, look to see if any other SS are astray from the merge book?
#2 okay.
msg 549
#2 I'm sorry. next time if there are different languages I'll do better providing ..."
Re 1 - Just a list if you notice them in the description as I'll gather them all up at once on the combine stage.
I'll do the search on Worldcat anyway so not a big deal if you don't know or aren't looking at another source.
Re Other languages - that's fine. I usually prefer to merge language A to language A, and then noticed that there wasn't a Russian edition. I could have merged all into Legends II, but that would still have needed Russian-Russian and English-English merges. As it turned out, there wasn't a Russian edition for Legends II on Goodreads, so I converted the existing record to be the full anthology.
