Welcome!
Hello, Glassdarkly, 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! Mhhutchins 01:14, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
A Body Given
Submission to add this record was accepted, but several changes had to be made in order for it to comply with ISFDB entry standards. Those standards are in the help pages which are linked in the Welcome section above. If you plan to continue to contribute to the database, you should bookmark and read this help page which contains most of what you need to add and update records to the ISFDB.
The following changes had to be made in the record:
- Date Field - changed to "2012-12-02", the ISFDB date format for December 2, 2012. (This date came from the Amazon listing.)
- Publication Format Field - changed from "Paperback" to "tp" which is the designation for a trade paperback, i.e. a softcover publication which is taller than 7.5 inches.
- ISBN Field - changed from "1-935959-38-7" to "978-1-935959-38-0". The ISBN given in the publication must be given in this field. The system automatically creates the appropriate matching ISBN-10.
- Price Field - changed from "16.99" to "$16.99". You must given the currency symbol in the field.
I have also linked the cover image file on Amazon to the record. Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins 01:46, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
