Welcome!
Hello, Wordboy1975, 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! Mhhutchins 16:49, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
One of Us, Old Boy
I have accepted your addition of One of Us, Old Boy, but had to make some changes:
- Publisher: I changed the publisher to Untreed Reads Publishing per the copyright page (via Amazon Look Inside). That also makes it consistent with how this publisher's works have been entered in the past.
- Pages: We don't put a page number for ebooks.
- Pub Type: As it's a publication of a short story, the correct publication type is CHAPTERBOOK.
- ISBN: We don't record the Amazon identifier in the ISBN field as this is a store specific identifier. If an Amazon ebook does not have an actual ISBN, we leave the field blank and record the Amazon identifier in the notes.
- Price: The price field should have the currency symbol as we deal in multiple countries' currencies.
- Image URL: The image URL need to be the link to the Amazon image; not to the Amazon webpage.
We do appreciate your submission. ISFDB has some conventions that need learning, but everything should be in the help links in the welcome message above. We hope you will continue to contribute. And please let us know if you have any questions (ISFDB:Help desk is a good resource for asking). -- JLaTondre (talk) 11:34, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
