Welcome!
Hello, Storyguy, 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! BLongley 14:59, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Of a Feather
I accepted your addition of Of a Feather, but had to make a few changes to bring it in line with ISFDB standards:
- ISBN: I changed the ISBN to the 13 digit ISBN since this is a current book. We use the ISBN as printed on the book.
- Binding/Format: We only list one format per publication record. We also use a specific set of values for this field. I changed it to "tp" (for trade paperback) based on the dimensions supplied by Amazon.
- Cover Image: The URL was not from a site that has given us explicit permission to link to their images (see Help:Screen:EditPub#Image_URL). As such, I changed the image link to Amazon.
The ISFDB has a number of conventions and it can take a bit to become familiar with all of them. I encourage you to read through the help (see links in welcome message above). Also, feel free to ask questions (either here in response to this or if a new topic you can post questions at the ISFDB:Help desk). We appreciate your contribution. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:44, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
