Welcome!

Hello, MLEX, 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! -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:53, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Daughter of Is

When making changes to verified publications, you should leave a note on the verifier's talk page (some people have specific instructions at the top of the page as to their notification preferences, please follow those if present). Also, it is always good to source non-obvious (i.e. not directly printed in the book) information within the publication notes. As such, I have accepted your edit, but:

  1. Notified Rtrace of the change
  2. Edited the pub to place your moderator comment (which gets dropped on approval) into the notes field.

The ISFDB has a number of conventions and it can take a bit to become familiar with all of them. I encourage you to read through the help (see links in welcome message above). Also, feel free to ask questions (either here in response to this or if a new topic you can post questions at the ISFDB:Help desk‎). We appreciate your contribution. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:53, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Emperor Fu Manchu

I have accepted your new publication for Emperor Fu Manchu, but have made the following changes:

  1. Publisher changed from Fawcett to Fawcett Gold Medal.
  2. Format changed from paperback to pb. We have a standard set of publication formats that we use.
  3. Added the $ symbol to the price. As we're international, we need to list the currency. This appears to be a US printing, but if not, please correct.
  4. Removed Gold Medal from the "Pub. Series" field based on the publisher change.
  5. Removed the image URL as that is not a site we have permission to link to (see Help:Screen:EditPub#ImageURL).
  6. Moved S929 from "Pub. Series #" to "ISBN / Catalog #". For older books, we use the publisher's catalog number (prefixed with the pound symbol) in place of the ISBN (see Help:Screen:EditPub#ISBN).

Do you have the book? If so, please fill in the page count and verify the book. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 20:07, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

The cover scan is uploaded to isfbd here: wiki/images/e/e2/EMPFUMANCHU_1959.jpg I tried linking it by editing the pub record above, but there is no moderator, so not sure how to get it approved? I don't have a copy of that edition, so don't know the page numbers... thanks. Lex 04:07, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
