Welcome!
Hello, Kozail, 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!.--Dirk P Broer 12:36, 2 March 2020 (EST)
Mermaids, Mantas and Bug-Eyed Monsters
I accepted your addition of Mermaids, Mantas and Bug-Eyed Monsters, but made a couple of changes to match ISFDB standards:
- Format: Based on the Amazon provided size, I changed the format to tp vs pb.
- Publisher: We don't use CreateSpace as a publisher (though there are some older records that have not been converted yet). CreateSpace is not a traditional publisher. In these cases, we use the author as the publisher.
- Image: I added the cover image from Amazon. You are welcome to upload a local image if you wish. Instructions are in the welcome message above.
I did have a question. Are the price and date actually on the book? The Amazon Look Inside implies not. If that's the case, we would add a pub not stating that and adding a secondary source (like Amazon) for them. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:22, 23 October 2020 (EDT)
