Welcome!

Hello, Francesc Barrio, 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! MagicUnk 13:50, 6 August 2020 (EDT)

Your ANTHOLOGY submissions

Hello. I have your submissions on hold for the moment, as I can't quite figure out what you want to do. I notice that ALL of these anthologies you've submitted are with yourself as EDITOR. Did you actually compile all of these anthologies as an editor yourself? If not, you'll have to provide the actual editor as 'author' of these ANTHOLOGIES instead. Also, there is no ISBN given, even though I found an ISBN for several of them (didn't check them all) on Amazon. It would help if you could provide references to more detailed information, such as editor, author, and other Contents titles (that are spec fic, of course). I will be monitoring this page for your reply (press [edit] at the right of the title. Also, if you would have any questions on how to edit the ISFDB, do read through the material provided in the Welcome message above. Regards, MagicUnk 13:50, 6 August 2020 (EDT)

I accepted your submissions. However, they all required extensive corrections, too much to list. Here are a few attention points:
  • make sure to never enter a contributing author's name in the author field of an ANTHOLOGY publication record. Instead, always enter the editor of the anthology's name.
  • when entering an anthology of spec fic stories, do make sure to also enter ALL other stories as well.
  • format: enter the format of the publication, not of the story that may have been published somewhere else in another format. For example, I had to correct a few submissions of yours that were entered as ebook, but were, in fact, paperbacks (tp)
If you read this, please review the work I've done very carefully, and correct any mistakes I have made, and add any omissions/incomplete data.
And while you're at it, do consider verifying the publications if you happen to have a copy of them available. Verifying pub records implies that they have been confirmed to be accurate and have been verified against an actual copy. Thanks! MagicUnk 17:15, 4 September 2020 (EDT)
