Welcome!
Hello, Asaiber, 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! Stonecreek 08:48, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Regarding your questions
Hello, thanks for updating your entry! It is not possible to add a second language to your entry, you have to decide for one language, alas. What would be possible is to add Italian as language for the titles you see (you would see the original language, English and Italian). But I think that is not what you asked for.
I see no easy way to include your mentioned essay Flying Saucers Would Never Land in Lucca: The Fiction of Italian Science Fiction to your author summary page. That said, there is an easy way by editing your 'Bibliographic Comments', and I have added it for you. But the link is now on the wiki and not visible to a visitor of your summary page. Since ISFDB is built on publications, the only way to have it show up there is to enter the publication in question. A stub record like this one that only lists the items of speculative content or interest (that is, your essay) would be the right way of entering. I hope that this may help.
I have also changed your legal name to the standard ISFB way, that is SURNAME, FORENAME. Stonecreek 09:08, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
