Welcome!

Hello, Wesperance, 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:

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! Mhhutchins 05:36, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Bound for Evil: Books Gone Bad

I'm holding your submission to add a publication record for this title. In the editor field you give Tom English and several other authors. Are all of these credited as the editor, or are they authors of stories in the anthology? If the latter, they should not be credited in the editor (author) field of the pub record, but in individual content records, which are entered below the header fields in the new pub creation page. Also, the link to the cover image is invalid, or rejecting deep-linking. We must have permission in order to deep-link to another server. If not, you can always scan an image and upload it to our server using the "Upload file" function on the wiki pages, or the "Upload Cover Image" function once the pub record has been created in the database. You can respond to this message here on your user talk page. (Just click on the edit button to the right of this message. For help on editing wiki pages, there's a link in the welcome section above.) I will monitor this page and be notified when you respond. Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins 05:43, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

According to this OCLC record, the sole editor is Tom English. It also gives the page count as 779 instead of your submission's 800. Mhhutchins 06:35, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, the additional names are contributors to the anthology. Sorry for the confusion. Wesperance 00:01, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

The King of Deadtown

Unlike novels, when adding a chapterbook (which is a container type), you must add the contents, even if the content is a single title record that has the same title as the pub. Can I assume that this book contains a short story with the name "The King of Deadtown"? If so, go to the record and click "Edit This Pub". Then go down to the Content section and click the "Add Title" button" Complete the open fields with the title of the work, and the author, and any other applicable fields. Thanks.

If you have a copy of the pub you should do a Primary Verification of it. If not, you should note the source of your information in the notes field. Mhhutchins 00:18, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
Everything I said for the above pub: ditto for this one also. Mhhutchins 00:19, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
