User talk:Liber novus
Welcome!
Hello, Liber novus, 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
- ISFDB 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!
The White Guard
Re: The White Guard, it doesn't have any speculative fiction elements, does it? Our Rules of Acquisition currently read:
- Out - Works that are not related to speculative fiction by authors who have not published works either of or about speculative fiction over a certain threshold. This "certain threshold" is hard to define, but we need to draw the line in a way that would exclude Winston Churchill, who published at least one work of borderline speculative fiction. The goal here is to avoid cataloging everything ever published by James Fenimore Cooper, Robert Louis Stevenson, Honoré de Balzac and other popular authors. Instead, we want to catalog their speculative fiction works only.
Since Mikhail Bulgakov was primarily a mainstream writer, it would appear that this novel is out of scope for us. Ahasuerus 00:44, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- I am afraid I will have to reject the submission since there has been no response in over a week. Perhaps you haven't found your Talk page yet? Please don't be discouraged, we appreciate everyone's contributions! Ahasuerus 02:03, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
The Homeward Bounders
The title is already in the database. Here's the title record. Also, it's best not to remove messages from your talk page without first archiving the page. Sometimes it's important to have a record of the message in case something about it should come up later. Thanks. Mhhutchins 22:29, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
