Welcome!

Hello, Anti Monitor, 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! Ahasuerus 17:21, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Linking uploaded cover images to the publication record

Thanks for uploading cover images to the ISFDB wiki. The next step is to link those images to the records of the books for which these are the covers. As the instructions explain:

Once the file has been uploaded, the image's wiki page will appear. In order to get the URL (address) for the image you just uploaded, left click anywhere on the image and copy the URL from your browser's address window. (Or right click on the image and choose "Copy Image Location".) If you're adding a cover image to a pub record, this is the URL which you would enter into the pub record's "Image URL" field.

So once you have the image's URL, go back to the pub record (it's linked on the image's wiki page) and then click the "Edit This Pub" link under the Editing Tools menu. This opens up an edit page. Under the Publication Metadata section, there's a field labeled "Image URL:" Enter the URL of the image you uploaded into this field, and then click on the "Submit Data" button at the bottom of the page. Once the submission has been moderated the cover image will be linked to the publication record. Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins 20:00, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Sorry Michael, I haven't seen your intervention, I've uploaded the scan. Hauck 14:39, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
No problem. It's been a few months since I'd posted this and failed to follow-up on it. One never knows when a new editor reads their talk page! Thanks. Mhhutchins 18:45, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

L'enigma di Star's Rest

Hello, I've put your submission on hold as it's considered proper ISFDB etiquette to clear the proposed changes with the primary verifier (here -> Pips55 who doesn't seem to really active anymore, so you've just to add a message to his page). In this case, you should also add the source for the credit (e.g. indicating that it's the same artwork as the DAW pb). Hauck 16:28, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello. Ok. I will add a message. Anti Monitor 22:07, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. Sub approved. Hauck 10:41, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Adding data to a record

If you have the publication, please do a primary verification of it. If you don't, we ask that you provide the source of the data in the Note field. Do you have a copy of this book and can confirm that the art is credited to Alan Pollack? The Amazon Look Inside of the ebook edition credits "Allan Pollack". Thanks for responding.

Yes, Allan Pollack as in amazon preview. I probably made a mistake=( Anti Monitor 17:39, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
