Welcome!
Hello, Keesbs, 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! Willem 16:16, 16 August 2017 (EDT)
- Thanks for the welcome.
- I will start by uploading some better covers for the books I have. We'll see how it goes from there. Keesbs 15:21, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
De Hamer van Lucifer
Hello, I've rejected your submission. Experience has taught us that's not the best way to proceed to add a translation of an existing book. The simplest way is to start from scratch. Use the "Add New Novel" link on the left of the screen that will lead you here, then enter data as explained here. This done, we'll be able to variant the title to the original. Are you ready to try?

- I am ready and just tried to add the first Dutch translation of Lucifer's Hammer. Keesbs 09:55, 18 August 2017 (EDT)
- I've approved your submission and fixed a few things:
- regularized publisher to simply Bruna (perhaps can you also put the book into a publication series, if applicable).
- re-uploaded the scan (it's better to do this after the creation of the publication is approved so everything is properly linked).
- transferred data about the translator at title level and used our standard template.
- The result is here, all is left to do for you is to variant it to the original via the "Make This Title a Variant Title or Pseudonymous Work" at this level by passing the canonical title Id (here 1601). Thanks for contributing. Hauck 10:58, 18 August 2017 (EDT)
