Welcome!

Hello, Factoficacc, 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:

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! Hauck 03:14, 21 February 2018 (EST)

Unknown [UK], December 1940

Hello, I've approved your submission for this issue but had to make extensive changes to conform to our standards:

  • deleted SerieNumber (30017?).
  • added publisher (Atlas Publishing and Distribution Co. Ltd), you can find it on the bottom of the bc.
  • added price as per cover.
  • added number of pages.
  • we're not allowed to deeplink to the specified website so I had to resize and upload the cover into our system.
  • somewhat streamlined the notes and added source.
  • changed Black Cats's type from SHORTIFTION to POEM.
  • merged the "new" titles with the already existing ones, thta had the side effect of regularizing your used capitalization.

The result is here, you can now, if you want, add the INTERIORART records that were kept. Thanks for contributing but please take some time to study how such issues are entered (like this one). Hauck 03:29, 21 February 2018 (EST)

I've also make quite extensive changes for this other issue. Hauck 03:40, 21 February 2018 (EST)

Unknown [UK], November 1939

Hello, I've approved your submission but with some changes:

  • as one of our idiosyncrasies, the first piece of INTERIORART is not numbered in brackets (see here for an example).
  • in the case of your submission, some of the drawings are clearly signed (bottom of page 9 and other for example), so I've credited the lot to the canonical name of the artist ("Frank Kramer").
  • then, using this source I've matched the drawings in the UK issue with their originals in the US issue (some were left out by the british publisher).

This was a quite lengthy and purely technical procedure so don't worry too much if it's unclear for the moment. Hauck 03:50, 23 February 2018 (EST)


Issues on Internet Wayback Machine (archive.org) not on isfdb

I've created an index of SF magazine scans on this site, and trying to connect each one to its corresponding record on isfdb. In the process I found some that are not listed here.

If anyone else wants to enter these into the database, you have my blessing.

Thanks for the data. For Weird Tales, the two numbers are here because there's a "standard" issue and a "limited" issue. Hauck 13:54, 23 February 2018 (EST)

All-American Fiction, February 1938

Hello, I've put your submission on hold. For a start, can you confirm that all texts are spec-fic? Hauck 08:56, 8 March 2018 (EST)

No I cannot, it's a non-spec-fic multiple genre magazine (hence the title). What I can confirm is that "Beyond Space and Time" by Joel Townsley Rogers is spec-fic: this entry on ISFDB Factoficacc 19:09, 9 March 2018 (EST)
I made another with only that story; you can delete the previous one. Factoficacc 19:19, 9 March 2018 (EST)
And forgot to include source and cover scan info, that's in the previous one. Factoficacc 19:19, 9 March 2018 (EST)
I approved the new version and added the source info. We do not add cover art for non-genre stories unless it illustrates the genre story (which isn't the case here). You can cancel your own submissions by going to "My Pending Edits" on the left hand menu on the database pages. Thank you for making the changes. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:56, 9 March 2018 (EST)
