Hello, Distanceswimmer, 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:

- What the ISFDB Wiki is for
- FAQ
- Wiki editing help - Tips on how to use the wiki-specific features when editing wiki pages.

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.

Hello,
A few notes about this one:
- Non-fiction pieces inside of magazines and books are recorded as essays, not non-fiction
- Photograph is not a valid name for an author...
- Same for Wikipedia. I changed both to uncredited - if you tell me how they are credited in the magazine exactly, I can fix that.
- The reviews section is only for reviews of genre books. Anything else goes in as an essay - so I moved the film reviews.
- We do not use the Publication series number for magazines.
- Is the magazine the size of a standard American mass market paperback? If not, the format probably should be different. Check the options and let me know which is the closest.
The result is here. Let me know if you have any questions. Annie 10:44, 12 April 2021 (EDT)
