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 15:56, 20 November 2017 (EST)
Forest of Savages
Hello and welcome again to ISFDB.
I accepted your submission but had to do a few changes so it can comply with the DB policies
- When a book is self-published, you should either use the author name as a Publisher or leave the field empty.
- When adding e-books, the field for number of pages should remain empty - instead a note in the Notes field should be used for the Printed length.
- You had not selected a format so I fixed that as well (set as e-book).
- As this is a chapbook, it requires the short function inside of it to be explicitly added. I had done that now.
- The section for the reviews is for reviews that are inside of the publication and not for reviews of the publication. So I removed the record that was linking to the Amazon review.
- The Web Page field on the title level is for links about the title and not for linking to stores that sell the book (such as Amazon). We already have these links via both the ASIN field on the publication level.
- I added the price of the book and a link to the cover (from Amazon)
The result is Forest of Savages. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns and welcome again! Annie 16:06, 20 November 2017 (EST)
- I did pretty much the same thing for Bloody Raged Corpses. You're welcome to ask either of us any questions, or post over on the ISFDB:Community Portal. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:42, 18 December 2017 (EST)
