Did the last 5 corrections make it into the system from the app? I’m not showing anything so there may have been a glitch on my end.

Resubmission made to core in app for #41.

41A: Added plot
: Added cover artist George Wilson

41B: Added plot
: Added cover artist George Wilson

All reports have been processed, thank you for reporting.

Acknowledged. I am seeing all changes done except 41; there is still has no plot listed. In both the A and B plot box, there are 3 dots only.

Here is the plot for your manual input.

Kirk, Spock, and Scotty attend a celebration on the planet NRAKA when a ship suddenly appears ordering the entire planet be evacuated or risk annihilation

Will wait for this correction to be inputted then will continue on past #45.

Thank you, CLZ_Rowdy.

We do not add plots due to copyright issues. You are of course free to use whatever plot you want in your local database.

OK, then where do the plots come from that are already there, in the database? CLZ is, and indeed even this section of Trek comics is, filled with plots.
Please believe me that I’m not trying to be difficult, but could you look into this further with your team.
My understanding is that the direct transcript is copyrightable, but not the idea. That’s why book reviews and movie reviews are able to briefly describe the plot without falling under the law. A plot outline is a brief description of what’s taking place without copying what the publisher exactly wrote.
And that’s what I’m trying to do here. I love this site and in regards to Trek comics, I’m just trying to fill in or make corrections to the blanks.
Thank you.

Sorry for the confusion, I must admit that I maybe rushed through my reply too thougtlessly.

In short it comes down to this that we can’t use any plot that has been used anywhere before or on any site earlier.
If the plots you send in are original then by any means please continue. Thank you.

Acknowledged, thank you.

Hi, Are the errors directly above going to be corrected? I was waiting on those ones being entered into the system before continuing on with the series.
Thank you.

I checked the issues but these were already corrected?

EDIT: these were already processed, and when I did, I ticked off your post (with the heart symbol) to inform you I did so.

By all means, feel free to just keep on submitting these error reports in one big batch and then leave a reply here. I can image it saves us both time instead of replying to each other comment.

My apologies for my absence. My father passed and there was a lot of work making sure mom was taken care of afterwards.
These are the last issues I can see with this series, at this time.
There is still some info missing, but will readdress those concerns only once there is information confirmation.
Will carry on with next series - the 2 Star Trek mini comics in the Dan Curtis Giveaways.
