Help talk:Getting Started:Add Publication to Title

Price field
Should we add a note about foreign currencies to the Price field or does it not belong under "Getting Started"? Ahasuerus 04:10, 21 Dec 2006 (CST)


 * Good idea. I've added a short note about British prices; I thought about adding a link to the detailed help but I left it since there's already the link at the top of the page.  Do you think more is needed? Mike Christie (talk) 08:23, 21 Dec 2006 (CST)


 * According to Al's server logs, we have a rather large international (mostly European) audience. OTOH, in the past almost all active editors were from English speaking countries and even the lone Czech editor that we have seems to be mostly interested in English language first editions. Still, it's conceivable that some unlucky newbie may try to enter a foreign language publication and get totally lost. Perhaps we could (a) add a note to this page pointing editors to the right Help page for entering foreign language originals/translations and (b) add something like "and so on" to the end of the current sentence about prices?

 * I've updated it -- see what you think. Mike Christie (talk) 10:50, 21 Dec 2006 (CST)


 * Looks good! :) Ahasuerus 11:05, 21 Dec 2006 (CST)

Note field
Do we really want to say "Note: this field is usually left blank". I can't recall the last time I entered a book with a blank note field on the pub record, and I don't see many like that.

Also, should we add a mention of the Note to Moderator field, new since this help page was written? I know we don't want to make this page overly complex, but that field is potentially very helpful, and on the other hand can be confusing to new editors. -DES Talk 15:29, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
