I hate issue dupes - Delete/Combine Pages

#1 Posted by Shatterstar (4068 posts) - 5 years, 10 months ago - Show Bio

Issue dupes bug me more than any other dupe, mostly because they never seem to be deleted, but also because I can't figure out how the submitter misses it if they're looking through the volume. http://www.comicvine.com/comic/the-uncanny-x-men/3092/37240/ * http://www.comicvine.com/comic/the-uncanny-x-men/3092/111383/ - dupe, make it die.

I completely agree.

and

http://www.comicvine.com/comic/runaways-vol-2/11872/105743/

are the same issue, the second is just the variant cover of the first. I've mentioned this one before, but it hasn't been fixed.

I don't know if the people that done them want to get more points or what but I find it annoying so if you are reading this and you are responsible, please stop.

I think Red lamp told me theres no tool for merging comic volumes yet.

The easiest thing is to just rename it. They slip by us sometimes. When there's hundreds of subs in the que, you start to go crossed eyed.

They don't need merging, just deleting. There's no information in the yarrow young one dupe that isn't in the original, same in the x-23 dupes fesak is talking about.

I submitted a rename of the issue, see if it goes through. Maybe watch X-book related submissions from new people more carefully, it seems when someone signs up and begins submitting thats where people start out, making them more likely to screw up.

So for the Uncanny issue, when it comes time for issue 289, well just use that one. I'm not the technical guy here but we're not set up to delete a volume just yet. Yes it's annoying but there's bigger fish to fry at the moment. It irks me too. There's some other dupes with the volumes that need to be taken care of. Just try to take deep breathes. Hopefully we'll all be more careful in submitting issues. We, as the mod's, also need to be careful not to miss when a dupe is coming across.
