User talk:Lori Skinner

Welcome!

Hello, Lori Skinner, 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! -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:56, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

In The Eyes of Terror: Helen

I accepted your addition of In The Eyes of Terror: Helen, but made some changes to bring it in line with ISFDB standards:

• Author: We credit the author as shown in the book. As the cover has "Jeff Skinner", I changed it to that vs. "Jeff B. Skinner"
• ISBN: Only the number goes in the ISBN field. The system will handle both ISBN-10 and ISBN-13.
• Cover Image: I added a cover image from Amazon
• Source: When entering a publication, the source should always be specified. It is one of the fields in the entry form. As you did not select primary verification, I add a note that it is secondary sourced from Amazon. If you actually have the pub, you should primary verify it and then edit the pub to remove the note.

We do appreciate your submission. ISFDB has some conventions that need learning, but everything should be in the help links in the welcome message above. We hope you will continue to contribute. And please let us know if you have any questions (ISFDB:Help desk is a good resource for asking). -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:56, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Jeff B. Skinner

We use the most common credit as an author's canonical name. As we had a another story under the credit of Jeff Skinner, I made that the canonical name and made Jeff B. Skinner a pseudonym of that. I entered your supplied information under the Jeff Skinner entry instead. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:56, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Mind Gate

I have put your submission on hold as there are some points that are unclear:

1) We have a publisher 'PublishAmerica', which I guess is the one you meant.

2) There is no price and no day/month of publication stated, also, it is stated as paperback; amazon has Nov 6, 2009 as day of publication (2009-11-06 for us), a price of $24.95, and a height of 9 inches, which characterizes it as a tp (trade paperback). Would that be correct?

3) There is a review which does sound to be a cover (or inside) praise. We wouldn't index such sort raves.

Please do leave comments here. Thanks for your submission, Stonecreek 07:19, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

yes, that is all correct. It will be published as a second addition soon. This can be finished. -Lori
