Welcome!

Hello, Codeeater, 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) 19:56, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Science Fiction Stories or Science-Fiction Stories or Science-Fiction-Stories

Hi, as we denominate titles as they are given on the title page, could you please take a second look on the respective ones for your recent verified anthologies. Usually, the titles are given there in on of the latter two versions.

Also, upon veryfying, your copies become the source of the data, so sentences like "Data from Deutsche Nationalbibliothek" should be deleted and overwritten with other information like the number of the printing, copyright information etc. Anyway, as Ullstein editors did have some specialities up their sleeve, some of the entries will have to be changed, and I'll also add some information. Thanks for contributing, Stonecreek 16:12, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

I have corrected the title for #15 in the series.
Another thing: the series numeration is very idiosyncratic as it is only for 'Science-Fiction-Stories original anthologies': beginning with no. 20 more and more of the titles labeled 'Science-Fiction-Stories' weren't original, but reprints or selections from English language anthologies (& even some collections) and thus belong not into this particular series. For them, Spiegl is only considered to be the editor of the publication (series), not the title, i. e. the anthology, for example for #23, a translation of de Camp's anthology 'Sword and Sorcery'. (I know that this is somewhat confusing, but that's what it is). Stonecreek 18:56, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
With no reaction so far, I have changed the other titles to 'Science-Fiction-Stories', that one being the most common variant. If you have the cance, please take a look if they are in fact correct. Thanks, Stonecreek 16:35, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Stonecreek! Sorry for the very late reaction - it was not easy taking my first steps in the isfdb and then I ran out of time. One question regarding this topic: I understand that the latter two versions are the most commonly used ones, but the cover pages of the books really show it without the dashes. I will follow your recommendations because you are much more experienced with the editing process here, but to be honest I thought 'what ever the book shows, is the truth" is the guideline. Let me know what you think and thanks for the guiding me around here! Codeeater 16:15, 3 October 2018 (EDT)
