Welcome!
Hello, Wfriday, 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
- Help:Getting Started
- What the ISFDB Wiki is for
- ISFDB 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! --MartyD 11:06, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
The Harvest
Hi, and welcome. I accepted your submission of The Harvest and made a few very minor changes to it so that it conforms to ISFDB standards and policies (some of the links above will explain in much more detail). The most important one is that because the ISFDB does "deep linking" of images -- the images are displayed directly from the linked-to site, putting a load on that site's servers -- we only link to sites where we have permission to do so. Starsys Publishing is not a site that has granted us such permission, so I changed http://www.starsyspublishing.com/images/Harvest1.png to http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fPY-DXS%2BL.jpg that I found on Amazon (to which we do have linking permission). For sources where we don't have permission, you would need to download the image to your computer, then upload it to the ISFDB; see the instructions above. You can also scan and upload the covers. The other minor things: I added "$" to the price and changed "Soft Cover" to "tp" for trade paperback -- see Help:Screen:EditPub#Pub_Format_.28Binding.29 for the various format/binding codes. As I said, all very minor. Again, welcome, and thank you for contributing. --MartyD 11:25, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
