Welcome!

Hello, Rodney1956, 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:

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 06:21, 5 February 2019 (EST)

Unification of Science

Hello, and welcome again. I'm afraid that this title seems to be out of scope for a database that indexes speculative fiction, since it is NONFICTION and does not deal with our objective. I've put the submission on hold, though; you may state here a reason why it should be included. Thanks, Stonecreek 06:44, 5 February 2019 (EST)

I don't understand why the submission has been put on hold. I clicked on a section called "add nonfiction" to add "Unification of Science". Rodney1956
Perhaps you can enter speculative fiction written by the same author (isn't it you yourself?) too? Arthur C. Clarke's non-fiction is here, as is Isaac Asimov's. Both have a body of speculative fiction and some non-fiction, that is why their non-fiction is in our database.--Dirk P Broer 22:11, 5 February 2019 (EST)
It has been put on hold because submissions are moderated. I'm sorry but we just can't include every piece that ever has been written. For example, we neither include war novels, love romances, nor contemporary social criticism. And we only include nonfiction dealing with speculative fiction or by above-the-threshold authors like the ones mentioned by Dirk P Broer. -- Stonecreek 23:53, 5 February 2019 (EST)
Here are our rules of acquisition. I have put your recent submissions also on hold, while waiting for an answer how your supplied NONFICTION titles would fit into this. Please take also a look at the 'Excluded' section that does follow the rules of acquisition. Thanks, Stonecreek 04:48, 7 February 2019 (EST)
With no further response I will reject the submissions. Sorry for that, but please try to understand the background for this. Stonecreek 13:46, 11 February 2019 (EST)
