Hello can you verify if the title of this text is "Practiced" or "Practised" in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?518678 this pub], for the time being I've changed it to "Practiced" (you entered "Practised"). BTW, it will be more efficient to import the content of the US magazine (via "Import content") instead of entering everything "by hand", it will allow us to skip the varianting and merging phase. Thanks.

Welcome!
Hello, Wobber, 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! Ahasuerus 00:22, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
Marvel Science Stories (UK)
Hello, I've approved your submission (no problem with the lenghty notes, the more data, the best it is). I've just regularized published to "Thorpe and Porter" and put the title in its publication series allowing the grid here to appear. Hauck 16:30, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for that. I've also just edited Lester del Ray to read del Rey (my typo). Wobber 17:57, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
The Girl Who Practised Aklat
Hello can you verify if the title of this text is "Practiced" or "Practised" in this pub, for the time being I've changed it to "Practiced" (you entered "Practised"). BTW, it will be more efficient to import the content of the US magazine (via "Import content") instead of entering everything "by hand", it will allow us to skip the varianting and merging phase. Thanks. Hauck 17:05, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
The UK edition has the British spelling "Practised". The author's name is also given on the title page of the story as De Rosso, but I see the entry for the US version is DeRosso. A quick Google search shows his books on Amazon under the name DeRosso and his screenplays on IMDB as De Rosso. What is the ISFDB convention on such names? Should the two variations be listed as pseudonyms or is the spacing ignored? Thanks for pointing out the "import content" tool, I didn't notice it in the toolbar - it would have saved me (and you) a lot of time! Wobber 05:33, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
