Welcome!

Hello, Dodavehu, 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! -- JLaTondre (talk) 16:48, 23 October 2017 (EDT)

The Rise of the Terran Federation

I accepted your update to The Rise of the Terran Federation. I removed the "Data from Amazon.com as of 2017-06-08." since you have verified it (which indicates the information has been compared to the publication). If there is any information on the record that is not actually in the pub (often publication date or price), than a note should be added stating that specific information is from a secondary source (ex. "Publication date from Amazon as of 2017-10-23"). I also disambiguated the David Johnson name as we have multiple authors with that name and this one seems to be a new one. Also, you give the story on page 307 as "Grandfather Encounter". I noticed the Amazon Look Inside shows "The Grandfather Encounter" for the TOC. We do credit per the title page and not the TOC, but please double check that.

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). Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 16:48, 23 October 2017 (EDT)
