Hello, Jburdwell, 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:

- FAQ
- Wiki editing help - Tips on how to use the wiki-specific features when editing wiki pages.

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! BLongley 10:53, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Early Submissions
Firstly, thanks for contributing! I've made some adjustments: e.g. for "The Adventures of Tinker, the Hole Eating Duck" I removed the "pp" from the page count (the system will add that when displaying it), changed "Hardback, printed boards" to just "hc" (which the system will expand to "hardcover" for you), moved the "printed boards" to notes, and made the notes a little less personal.

For "The World of The Neverending Story" I interpreted your notes to mean that the three artists provided the contents, so I created INTERIORART records for them and removed them from the Cover Artist field. If one of them did indeed do the cover, put that artist's name back in there. BLongley 11:26, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
For "The Pentateuch of the Cosmogony: The Birth And Death of the World" I moved "hb no dj with 2 vinyl LPs on Boards" to notes and left the binding as just "hc". I changed "ISBN 10: 0905895495 ISBN 13: 9780905895499" to just "0905895495" - the system will derive an ISBN-10 from an iSBN-13 or vice versa. BLongley 11:32, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm holding the two "Dan Dare Pilot of the Future" books - if they are indeed collected Comic Strips they are not in scope of our project. If they're Illustrated Fiction - i.e. the text is separate from the pictures - then they're in scope. Which are they? BLongley 11:35, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
