please link the according community post then!!

Hi everyone. First of all, thanks for the great work you do. I want to use BookBrainz to catalog my books and comics and try to help to improve the quality of the data available in the database, so I will hang around here because I think I will have a lot of questions during the process\

welcome madmalkav[m] !!

and my first doubt is about Edition Group author . I have a problem trying to understand why Edition Groups have their own Author field, that is, why and when can the Author of the Edition / Work and the Edition Group be different

Good lord, I have a comic here to start and I think I took the perfect thing to start trying book cataloging sites, it has everything: it is a japanese work so a lot of incomplete or bad data on the non-japanese internet, lot of information written in latin charset only instead of japanese and latin charset offered as supplement... BookBrainz is by far the one with the better information and the one that looks to better support

international works

but still enough "holes" to make me scratch my head to try to figure out how BB works

that's actually a good point

madmalkav: i love edge cases as this. !
