I'm assuming that the convention for entering magazines hasn't changed i.e. the date to enter is the date on the cover, not the date when it was released/went on sale?
The last mention I can find in this forum goes back to Oct 2013.

Is this something that could easily be added to the Guide for Adding Magazines?

Specifically, I've been looking through the Classic Rock (UK) listings and have submitted a few individual corrections but from issue 261 onwards, nearly every entry has the release date with the cover date in the notes. Shouldn't this be the other way around? It's made more confusing because quite a few of those issues have 2 entries due to different barcodes for what are probably export issues - the export issues are entered with the cover dates.

Hi "rustieneil"

like you, i would like to see the cover date used instead of the use of (my guess) Subscriber dates.

And you are correct about the entries with 2 issues. Indeed export issues, since the ones i have entered is bought in Sweden.

The magazine date should be the date printed on the magazine cover, not when the magazine was for sale in shops.

I've updated the Guide for Adding Magazines.
