Welcome!
Hello, WLWright, 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 19:29, 23 February 2019 (EST)
The Earthlings
Hi, I approved your submission, but edited it a bit to comply with our standards. First, I removed the web link you supplied, since it points to a sales site (Amazon). You are meant to supply a link discussing the book, e.g. wikipedia, or a special page on the author's (your) website. The ASIN that was in that link I placed with the external identifiers -where it belongs. Secondly, I added a space between W.L. in your name, see our standards on entering names. As a third, I made the publisher your name too, as the publication is self-published (Otherwise we'd be flooded with Indies that have nothing to do with each other). Lastly, I removed the review you entered with the book, because it is not *IN* the book. If your book got a review in a magazine, enter that magazine and we link the review to your book. Please take your time reading our wiki (see above), isfdb has ways of entering data that are generally not immediately clear to a new user. And you can always ask for help, in case you are flabbergasted by our guidelines.--Dirk P Broer 19:44, 23 February 2019 (EST)
