Welcome!

Hello, Philb70, 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! Hauck 13:19, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

The Best of Isaac Asimov 1954-1972

Hello, I've approved your submission for this pub, the result is here. I've made a few changes : entered binding as pb, uploaded image (we're not allowed to deeplink to the specificied site), disambiguated the title of the biliography (the are too much items titled Bibliography so we need to differentiate them) and uploaded a correct-sized image in our system. I've also merged the texts, that's why it's better, in such cases (a new printing of an already existing title) to use the "Clone this pub" function. I've also deleted the image you separately uploaded, you have to use the "upload cover scan" link instead. Hauck 13:36, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Cover artist of this publication is Tony Roberts, see Wassermans Roboter which has the same cover. Horzel 18:28, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Uploading images

Hello, I saw that you uploaded twice a cover image for the corgi pb of The Raiders of Lost Ark. It's better to upload the image after creating the publication (in this case) record. I've deleted both uploads (our disk space is limited). Hauck 09:58, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Sub approved, result is here, note that I've changed the cover credit to "uncredited" (our standard). You can upload the cover via the "upload cover scan" link. Hauck 10:09, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
The last stage is to enter the URL of the uploaded image (in this case http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/images/a/a2/RDRSFTHLSC1981.jpg, obtained by clicking on the link just below the image after uploading) in the "Image URL" field, I've done this for you. Hauck 10:17, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
You uploaded five times (!) the cover for The Sentinel, I've had to delete four of them. Please be careful with uploads. Hauck 11:05, 7 April 2018 (EDT)

Sourcing data

You recently made a series of submissions adding the cover art credit to publication records (the Flash Gordon sequels from Star) without providing the source for the credit. If you have copies of the publications, please do a primary verification of the records (see the Welcome section link about verifications). If not, please update the records to give the source for the data in the Note field. Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins|talk 05:19, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Crediting cover art to "unknown"

If the cover artist is not credited, and the cover artist is unknown, leave the Cover Art field blank. If the cover artist is not credited, and the art can be positively credited from a highly reliable source, enter the artist credit and provide the source in the record's Note field. For further standards about the cover art field please read this section of the ISFDB help documentation. I have found a few records which you have credited to "unknown" and have removed them. If there are others which I may have missed, please go back and update the records to remove the credit. Thanks. Mhhutchins|talk 06:43, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

To Ride Pegasus

Hello, I've put your submission on hold, you set the publication date to "1991-12-00", but this is not coherent with your note: "Reprinted 1977, 1980 (twice),1982,1984 (twice), 1985,1986,1987,1988,1990" that suggests a 1990 date. What are your thoughts on the matter? Hauck 11:02, 7 April 2018 (EDT)

I assumed that the 1990 date was the final Sphere version, before the Orbit imprint took over, I did a ISBN search and it came back with the 1991 date,
We go by what's on the book, so it's better to keep the 1990 date (add to this the fact that british publishers have proven to be sloppy for such details). I've approved your submission and changed the date.Hauck 03:39, 8 April 2018 (EDT)
I hope this is the correct way of replying to moderators.
In fact, no (it may prove unreliable and/or the adress no more used), just use this space, any moderator that wrote to you here and is waiting for an answer is likely to monitor your page (as I did). To answer, log on the wiki-side (same parameters) and use the "Edit" link on top of the appropriate section. Hauck 03:39, 8 April 2018 (EDT)

Shoot at the Moon

I accepted your Shoot at the Moon, but made a couple of changes:

  • The ISBN should have been a ISBN13. We use the ISBN version in affect at the time of publication (ISBN10 < 2007, ISBN13 > 2007). I changed it to the ISBN13.
  • The data source should have been in the publication notes, not the note to moderator (which is not part of the publication record). I added it to the publication notes.
  • The format should have been "tp" instead of "pb". The ISFDB uses a specific set of values. I used "tp" (for trade paperback) based on the dimensions supplied by Amazon.

Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 09:14, 22 April 2018 (EDT)
