Welcome!

Hello, GideonMarcus, and welcome to the ISFDB Wiki! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.

Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

I hope you enjoy editing here! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will insert your name and the date. If you need help, check out the community portal, or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Annie 18:20, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

Sirena

Hello and welcome again. I approved the book but had to do a few changes:

  • A 8.5 inches book will be a tp; pb is standard US mass market paperback :)
  • We cannot link to the site you used so I changed the link to an Amazon image
  • Pub series are for things such as a publisher line of books; title series (such as Dune and yours here) go into the title record.
  • Amazon reports the book as available from a lot earlier so I fixed the dates. If there is a publication date inside of the book, we can fix that and move the Amazon date into the notes. If the official pub date is Sep 30, please add a note to that effect.
  • Artist names are added without their company names.

The result is here. Let me know if you have any questions and welcome again! Annie 18:26, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

Hello, Annie! Thank you for the information! Release date is, in fact, Sept. 30. I run the publishing house, so I know. :) We just upload the files before launch for testing and pre-order purposes. --GideonMarcus 10:24, 23 September 2021 (EDT)
Amazon shows it as available though - you can buy it already. Feel free to change the date and add some explanation on the Amazon date if you prefer. :) Annie 10:38, 23 September 2021 (EDT)
I fixed the date, added a note. Feel free to rework the note. Welcome again and let me know if I can assist further or if you have some questions. :) Annie 18:48, 23 September 2021 (EDT)
Thank you. Yeah, Amazon is stupid that way. You can't put up an e-book for pre-ordering. I could say a lot about the publishing business... --GideonMarcus 11:28, 24 September 2021 (EDT)
We record what we can see. :) Annie 12:00, 24 September 2021 (EDT)

Spaceman

I changed the wording here. If the text is the same, we variant the two stories. As there is an enlargement here (albeit a small one), we treat them as separate novels). Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for the edit. Annie 10:48, 1 March 2022 (EST)

I think that's fine. The most important thing is that collectors know if they have one, they essentially have the other. --GideonMarcus 17:38, 1 March 2022 (EST)

News from Elsewhere

I have your submission on hold as I assume you wanted to enter May 1968 (1968-05-00 instead of 1968-00-05?)? If that's the case, please cancel your submission, and resubmit correct date. Thanks! MagicUnk (talk) 13:36, 18 January 2024 (EST)

Thank you. I see it was added. Thank you! --GideonMarcus (talk) 14:51, 5 February 2024 (EST)
