Welcome!
Hello, AlwaysWrite, 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
- Help:Getting Started
- What the ISFDB Wiki is for
- ISFDB 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.
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! Bluesman --Bluesman 20:38, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
New Novels
There are various fields that are filled out when submitting a new novel. The conventions used are listed [here]. Note that for the binding all descriptions are short-form and in lower case. Images are great, but we only link to other sites when that site has given the ISFDB explicit permission to do so. On the same page noted above there is a link that will take you to another page that will describe/explain this process and also show you how to upload images. The two new publications you have submitted have been approved, but modified [[1]] here, and [Declination] here. In both cases there was an URL attached linking to a site that we do not have permission to use. Neither image displayed at all. There are images for both books available on Amazon, a site we can link to. The prices for both pubs seem to have been taken from Amazon, and do not seem correct. We always list the price on the book itself. Do you have these two? Thanks for editing! ~Bill, --Bluesman 20:55, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- Also, we're interested in ALL editions. "Right Ascension" seems to have been published by Bookbooters in 2000, and was reprinted in 2003? And Declination was 2002, reprinted 2007 and 2009? BLongley 23:14, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the help in cleaning up my entries; I got interrupted before I could finish them earlier today. I had linked to images on my own website, but I forgot to enable hotlinks from this domain. I just uploaded the covers here instead. Yes, there were multiple editions, originally by Bookbooters. I can add the info on those earlier editions if you'd like. The current versions don't have pricing info on the book barcode itself, so I used the current Amazon price. I added exact publication dates, cover artist info (I designed them, although NASA took the background pics), and descriptions and tags. Thanks again for your help! -AlwaysWrite 04:39, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
The Twiller
I've accepted the submission, but edited it to just the tp - the ebook can be entered separately as another edition if you like. BLongley 22:42, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
