Welcome!

Hello, Crashmaster, 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 22:48, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Worlds of the Universe

Your submission adding this publication to the database was accepted. I made a few changes based on ISFDB standards, and other changes are pending based on your responses to my inquiries here.

• The editor was changed to "uncredited" because three different sources (SFE3, Miller/Contento, Galactic Central) state that was no credited editor. Does you copy give explicit editor credit?

• The author of "Lilliput Minor" is given as Thomas W. Wade by Miller/Contento. Can you confirm that the title page credit is for Wade? The ISFDB standard is to use the title page credit, even if it differs from the content page credit.

• Miller/Contento gives the page count as 104. The ISFDB standard is to count all pages of a magazine, including the covers. Can you confirm the page count as given is correct? (It would usually be a multiple of 4 if all pages are counted.)

• The location ("London") was removed from the publisher field.

• The price of "1'5" was changed to the ISFDB standard for pre-decimalization British curreny: "1/5".

• The issue number was given in the title field to differentiate it with other issues, a moot point since this was the only issue.

• The publication series data was removed. Magazines go into editor series, and I've done that for the issue.

Entry standards are linked in the Welcome section above.

I await your response to my questions. Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins 23:19, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
