Welcome!
Hello, Drier Lint Dummy, 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
- FAQ
- Wiki editing help - Tips on how to use the wiki-specific features when editing wiki pages.

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.

Thanks for Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, #27
I made a few adjustments to it though, so feel free to double-check the publication after I meddled with it. It was actually a very good start so please don't take the next comments as discouraging! BLongley 00:57, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
Dates: I adjusted all the contents back to "2011-08-00" - you don't need to fill them out if they match the overall publication's date, the software will do that for you. "NONFICTION" is actually reserved for book-length works: factual stuff (columns, editorials, real science articles etc) within a publication is an "ESSAY" in our terms. "Dear Aunt Gwenda" was a bit vague, there's lots of those, so I added "(Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, #27)" to the title - we try and disambiguate them so that nobody is encouraged to merge the identical titles. After all, somebody may want to come along and give us a synopsis of that particular edition of that column. BLongley 00:57, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
I might also have pointed out the really trivial third "l" in "Smalll Beer Press" but another moderator beat me to it and fixed it for you. But again, this really was a good start and I hope to see more contributions from you! BLongley 00:57, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
