Thanks a lot @pikahyper; I've added the volume and am now waiting for approval to add the issues as well.

Of course, none of the text will be in Romanian, I was asking about the title especially since all content is in english and didn't know how to proceed.

Hello all,

I'd like to add a new romanian comic to comicvine. The comic I am referring to is Harap Alb Continuă, which is a modern re-imagining of an old story tale. There have been 4 issues published so far and I own all of them, meaning I should have proper references.

This is the first time I do this and the first time I use the new site to edit stuff, thus I have a few questions.

General Questions

• The comic is obviously in romanian, is it ok to add?
• how should I handle the titles? Do I add the original title with a translation in the description or do I translate it?

Adding a volume

• According to the Troubleshooting the wiki guide, I am supposed to recycle a page from this list. The only one I see is Blackgate Penitentiary, which has quite a bit of content and is highly linked. Is this correct?
• How can I add a volume? There is a "Create a new issue page" button on the wiki sidebar, no volume button.

Thanks,

ikarus

Yes, please bring back simple ratings (I hope you haven't lost the old values). I used both for assessing quality and marking a comic as read so I could come back to it. I was always hoping you would write a recommendation engine on top of it ... If you're worried about spammer ratings, show the users just like you show reviews, but w/o review title & content.

How about Azure (by Zuda / DC Comics)? here it is on comixology.

The main character, Azure, is already in the database.

ok, will do that. thanks!

@pikahyper what was the reason given for not merging the Bluewater bio issues? They are clearly part of a series, even though the stories themselves are independent. As @danhimself pointed out, some stories are related, but some are even related to other volumes (most notably Devastation). Of course, @aztek_the_lost is right, according to the indicia, they are stand-alone volumes, but it seems the were meant to be a numbered series, then they changed it, for some reason...

@danhimself this is most clear in the Revelation story arc (Cyclonus, Hardhead, Doubledealer, Sideswipe); the covers are marked as being part 1, 2 etc. of it.

The first 2 issues are clearly numbered, the rest aren't, but I still think it's worth merging them.

I've noticed the IDW Transformers Spotlights are all separate Volumes, not issues in the bigger "Transformers Spotlight" Volume. i.e. Transformers Spotlight: Shockwave is a volume with only one issue.

The issues are even numbered (Shockwave is #1, Nichtbeat is #2).

Did I miss something? Can somebody fix this?

Ok, I've started adding them here: http://www.comicvine.com/big-looker-storybook-the-transformers/49-44672/

Is there a way I cand edit them all and then add them to the wiki (like a personal sandbox). Now I have to propose an issue and add characters, year etc. later; Basically every issue takes 2 days because of the approval process.

Yup, single page images, sometimes overlayed by a caption or a caption on the opposing page. Some are real nice though and yes, I would like to add them for completeness' sake.

Here's the indicia from "Battle for Cybertron":

Copyright © by 1984 HASBRO INDUSTRIES, INC. All rights reserved. THE TRANSFORMERS (including all prominent characters featured) and the distinctive likeness thereof, are trademarks of HASBRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

And on the back cover:

THE TRANSFORMERS © by 1984 HASBRO INDUSTRIES, INC.
ISBN 0-87135-016-5

It's not much, I know.

So, worth adding?

yes, they did some coloring books and some comics (like "Battle for Cybertron"); on the transformes wiki these are marked as "Big Looker Storybooks".
