Welcome!
Hello, Taylorgrant, 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:
- Help pages
- Field-by-field guide to entering new publications into the database
- Help:Getting Started
- What the ISFDB Wiki is for
- FAQ
- Wiki editing help - Tips on how to use the wiki-specific features when editing wiki pages.
- Wiki Conventions - How things are usually done on this wiki.
- Help:How to upload images to the ISFDB wiki
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! MagicUnk (talk) 14:26, 22 December 2022 (EST)
Shallow Waters: Special Christmas Edition
I accepted your addition of Shallow Waters: Special Christmas Edition, but had to make the following changes:
- Title: We enter the title per the publication title page. I changed the title to "Shallow Waters: Special Christmas Edition"
- Pages: We do not record page numbers for ebooks.
- ISBN: The ISBN field is for a true ISBN (10 digits for older books, 13 digits for newer books). I moved the ASIN (which is an Amazon unique number) to the external ID field.
- Image URL: These needs to be a link to the image, not to the Amazon product page.
- Source: A source for the information should be supplied. I used Amazon.
- Contents: I added the Introduction.
- Synopsis: This should be relatively short and neutrally written. If you are quoting a synopsis from somewhere, the source must be given. There is also no need to list the stories since they are listed in the publication.
We appreciate your submission & hope you will continue to contribute. ISFDB has some conventions that need learning so please check out the help links in the welcome message above. And let us know if you have any questions (ISFDB:Help desk is a good resource for asking). -- JLaTondre (talk) 08:25, 27 December 2022 (EST)
