Welcome!
Hello, Andytinkham, 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! MagicUnk 18:09, 16 April 2021 (EDT)
The Time Travelers: A Science Fiction Quartet
For this submission, what is the source for the edit? You did not specify one. -- JLaTondre (talk) 09:17, 17 April 2021 (EDT)
- A physical copy of the book. The LCCN and Copyright date for "Consider Her Ways" are on the book's copyright page. The story page numbers came from the TOC (confirmed with actual story start). Andytinkham 23:06, 17 April 2021 (EDT)
- Thanks, I approved the edit. Please consider verifying the publication. One thing though, the story you marked as remove and the replacement you added are exactly the same (same title, same author, same type). Was there something you were trying to achieve? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 10:05, 18 April 2021 (EDT)
- Thanks! I changed the copyright year for that story. The book has it as 1961 while the old record for the book had it at an earlier time. I'll verify shortly! Andytinkham 18:49, 18 April 2021 (EDT)
- We date based on publication, not copyright. While "Consider Her Ways" may have been copyright renewed in 1961, it was first published in 1956. -- JLaTondre (talk) 20:11, 18 April 2021 (EDT)
- oh, ok! Sorry for my confusion. Thanks! Andytinkham 03:11, 20 April 2021 (EDT)

- http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?48657; Can you change publisher to Primus / Donald I. Fine? I assume it says Fine on title page and elsewhere, and Primus is an imprint, so it belongs with the other books by that imprint/publisher combo on ISFDB. I've fixed publisher's name in the other book about stories by scientists from Primus and asked the mods to separate that 2018 foreign-language book as it obviously isn't the same Primus. --Username 15:18, 7 July 2022 (EDT)
- I agree that the title page & spine say "Donald I. Fine, Inc." under the Primus logo. The copyright page also says "Published in the United States of America by Donald I. Fine, Inc. and in Canada by General Publishing Company Limited." I submitted change request [[1]]. --Andytinkham 18:27, 07 August 2022 (EDT)
Dragons of Light
For this submission, can you please double check the credit for the story on page 97? Did they really misspell "Shaw" as "Show"? And that is from the story title page and not the TOCs, correct? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 09:19, 17 April 2021 (EDT)
- Double checked and confirmed. The story page on 97 (and the TOC and the Copyrights page) all list "Craig Show Gardner". Andytinkham 23:07, 17 April 2021 (EDT)
- Approved. Please consider verifying the publication. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 10:09, 18 April 2021 (EDT)
- Done. Thanks! Andytinkham 18:57, 18 April 2021 (EDT)
- Approved. Please consider verifying the publication. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 10:09, 18 April 2021 (EDT)
