Adding awards

I could not find any way to add author awards or to ask how to do it. Please help.

Awards are normally handled by Al, the founder and main programmer of the ISFDB. There is support for award data in the XML interface (see Data Submission Formats and Web API) But there does not seem to be a documented web interface for awards editing.

I am not clear, do you want to add an instance of an award that the ISFDB already tracks, but is missing for some year? or do you want to add a new (to the ISFDB) award that we are not currently tracking? Could you give details on what you want to do? -DES ^Talk 20:02, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Al is still working on the Award data entry system, so it's not accessible yet. Soon, I hope... Ahasuerus 20:52, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Nancy Farmer

I see that you would like to change Nancy Famer's date of birth from 1941-07-0 to just plain 1941. Could you please clarify what you had in mind? Thanks! Ahasuerus 23:03, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
