Welcome!
Hello, JaredDavis, 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: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 08:01, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
Outsiders from Oz
Hello, and welcome once again! Thank you very much for submitting the new Oz title. I have put it on hold because you gave 2012-00-00 in the publication's date field, whereas lulu.com states 2013-10-10. Note that ISFDB is publication-based, so we do record the date of publication for a given item. So, if this should mark the first publication, we would go with the latter.

Publication date
Lulu's date is the most recent revision, which was to update only how the book was listed. The actual publication date was March 2, 2012, as listed on the book's Amazon page. Sorry! First entry... JaredDavis 22:27, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for the answer. I have approved your submission and made some alterations to the title ('Oz series' --> 'Oz', to avoid two different series) and the publication (specified the date of publication and transformed the price to $10.00).
- If you like there's the possibility to also add the revision. It's best to use 'Clone This Pub' on the publication Level, to change the fields that are necessary to cange & to add a note on the revisions. No sweat about the deviations from the standard, everybody has to cope with that. Stonecreek 06:49, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
