Still showing collage covers instead of individual covers

All three still showing collage cover instead of individual covers

Poke, poke...

Looks like I've removed these... Blank, Cover Blank, Sketch Cover Cover, Animation Cover, Photo Cover Game Figure Action found these, corrected and submitted Photo Photo, Movie cosplay Blank Sketch, Cvr Art, Animation Videogame Would like some clarifications on the other parentheticals and credits listed earlier...

I left "Malibu & Digital Chameleon" at the moment. I paired down Brett Breeding, and for the moment postfixed (co-writer) and (script consultant) for the other. Oh, and I have realized that there was an Iron Man (6th Series) #25 with writer credits, so copied that across into 25/A and 25/B.

'Nuff said.

1,218 Item Descriptions with "%Unknown Comic%", 368 with "%Unknown Comic Books%". Probably touch this soon.

found 1 Oliver Castañeda, corrected and submitted This is going to sound like a Cartoon Network show, but, are Eddie, Eddy and Eduardo Nunez/Nuñez all the same person? Given that 2 out of the three appear once and twice respectively, and both in titles with the third name credited as well, I'm collapsing them into the majority spelling of Eddie. Looking for clarification on Gabriel Elías Ibarra Núñez vs. Gabriel Ibarra-Nunez, Serg Acuña and Sergio Acuña, and the many possibilities with Victor Ibañez and "Victor Ibánéz.

Non legitimate credited 'and' Artist, 1, - corrected and submitted Colorist, 1 - Warlash: BioBurden credits "May and Joe", unsure how to clean Cover Artist, 2 - 1 corrected and submitted, Meanwhile... Soaring Penguin) #10 credits "Doig and Swift", unsure how to clean Cover Inker, 0 Editor, 0 Inker, 1 - corrected and submitted Letterer, 1 - Grimlock #1 credits "Tony & The Pack", is this Tony Viccard, the issue writer? Writer, 6 - 2 corrected and submitted, 4 credit "Slaium & Meng"... Slaium who, and is that Meng Lun?

For example... Captain America by Waid & Garney Omnibus #1/HC Open the Data Entry window, switch to the Credits pane, look at the entries for Inker and Colorist. The field only has room to show a single line, but the data entered into them runs for 3 and 2 lines, respectively. 1) There is no way to readily tell that there is more information than can be seen at first. 2) It is difficult to edit in this case, were you can't see everything at once. And this is not isolated to single-line fields, or only credit fields. Event the Notes and Storylines fields, generously allotted with a 3-line field can overflow. I think the data entry interface needs a tweak. Maybe adding a button at the end of the text box that brings up an editing window with a larger editing textbox?

1) Um... 798/Q was removed, while 798/A-3 is still present? To quote Willy Wonka, "Strike that. Reverse it." Please? 2) thoughts on 797, 799 and 800 white background virgin variants?

All but one removed.

6/F and 6/G removed. Thanks.

After the confusion, scan corrected. Thanks.

Scans corrected. Thanks.

Scan updated. Thanks.

Removed. Thank you.

Update - having identified many of the connecting covers and looking at the provisional notations I've generated, I don't like what I've proposed. There are several large connected covers that cross so many different titles, attempting to include even abbreviated references to all issues is unwieldy and really serves no purpose, you have to search on the unique string to get a search result that includes all the issues; including the issues in the string is a waste. And, splitting the information across 2 fields is also a complicating factor. Instead, I'm now leaning towards a single notation to be placed at the beginning of the Item Description field. A brief, unique string identifying the collage image, containing the keyword 'ptych', and ending with 1/2, 3/5, 06/12, etc (or collage, to link the various wraparounds and gatefolds to the individual components). Where multiple related sets exist (regular vs. adult, etc), modifiers will be placed after the common unique string (after the 'ptych' label). Being at the start of the Item Description field, it will be sortable. Search for "ptych" will return all connecting covers, sorted by cover and piece. Search for the brief, unique string will return all the pieces of the particular cover set, sorted by piece. For example, 2022 SDCC Cosplay diptych 1/2 2022 SDCC Cosplay diptych 2/2 2022 SDCC Cosplay diptych collage; wraparound cover 2022 SDCC Cosplay diptych Z-rated 1/2 2022 SDCC Cosplay diptych Z-rated 2/2 2022 SDCC Cosplay diptych Z-rated collage; wraparound cover Earth-X 14-ptych 09/14 Earth-X 14-ptych 10/14 Bottom line: useful search, useful sort, useful information, compact

Ah, Elias Chatzoudis... Diptych shown in Grimm Fairy Tales (Vol. 2) #58/M. 'Pooh' is Belle: War of the Giants #1/C (and Z-rated 1/D). Can't find 'Tigger'.

Title is a single issue, #1/D, which is a duplicate of Belle vs. The Black Knight #1/D.

Another Elias Chatzoudis special - these are driving me nuts, as they are all over the place, split across various titles. Diptych shown in Belle vs. The Black Knight #1/N 'Donald Duck' is 1/I (and 1/J Z-rated). Can't find 'Bugs Bunny'.

Piecing together a number of Elias Chatzoudis connected covers. There's a 5-ptych of Steampunk Wonderland characters, as shown on Van Helsing: Return of the League of Monsters #2/E. There's a full set of 5 regular covers, and 4 of the 5 Z-rated (usually the variant after the regular issue). Robyn Hood: Hellfire #1/F is the last listed variant for that title, and is missing the Z-rated issue.

We need a style guild. A collected list of the grammar, punctuation, syntax and vocabulary used throughout the database. Things like Titles don't start with "A", "An" or "The" We use the ellipses, not a triple period When to use flat versus curly quotes wraparound, not "wrap around" or "wrap-around" People with initials are entered "A. B. Smith", and not "AB Smith" or "A.B. Smith" Names are entered "First Last" and not "Last, First" Lists of Names do not use "&" or "and" between them. It would be great if the program enforced these things. But it doesn't.

#1/B is the third of a triptych with Red Sonja (Dynamite, Vol. 3) 1/B and Dejah Thoris 1/B Both of the others have additional virgin cover and B&W cover variants. I assume 1/J is the virgin variant. 1/K has the wrong cover scan.

Wrong cover. This is Powers of X 1/K. This might connect with Powers of X #1/Q, but can't tell without proper scan.
