Welcome!

Hello, Catalpa, 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) 08:58, 9 March 2024 (EST)

Merci

Bonsoir JL, Merci pour votre courrier d'accueil. J'avoue que je ne comprends pas grand-chose au fonctionnement de ce site .... je ne sais même pas si j'ai fait la bonne manip pour vous répondre .... En fait je ne cherche pas vraiment à publier, juste à rectifier les erreurs ou oublis sur la page dédiée à mon père George W. Barlow. Je viens de faire une tentative, on verra le résultat .... Si ça coince je reviendrai vers vous pour un peu d'aide personnalisée. En attendant je vous souhaite un bon dimanche. Catalpa (talk) 17:23, 9 March 2024 (EST)

George W. Barlow

Thanks for providing corrections and additions to George W. Barlow's bibliography and biographical data! I have added the 2012 edition of Antéros using Noosfere's data. I have also changed the place of birth from Grenoble to Le Havre and updated the Notes field with an explanation of which Web sites have correct data and which ones have incorrect data.

Regarding this submission, I have put it on hold. Is there a publicly available source stating that George W. Barlow's date of birth is 1936-03-13? As ISFDB:Policy says:

• To the extent that the ISFDB collects biographical data, only publicly available sources are used.

Thanks in advance! Ahasuerus (talk) 20:26, 9 March 2024 (EST)

Bonjour,

Merci d'avoir apporté ces rectifications et désolée d'écrire en français mais contrairement à mon père je comprends et parle l'anglais mais ne sais pas l'écrire .

Sa date de naissance exacte n'est pas attestée et n'a pas vraiment d'importance, ce que vous avez corrigé suffira et il en sera très satisfait. Je vais de mon côté essayer de rectifier les erreurs dans Wikipedia, j'ai déjà pû ajouter une photo.

Merci beaucoup pour votre gentillesse. Catalpa (talk) 20:32, 23 March 2024 (EDT)

Excellent, thanks! Ahasuerus (talk) 21:20, 23 March 2024 (EDT)
