: Looks like you submitted this one by mistake so I will cancel it. I approved your second submission and did one change: we regularize the case for titles so "By" is changed to "by" in "Raised by Wolves". The complete rules are [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:Screen:EditPub#Title here] but the short version is that everything that does not start the title needs to be capitalized except for "and", "or", "the", "a", "an", "for", "of", "in", "on", "by", "at", "from", "with", and "to".

Welcome!

Hello, Julirew, 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:

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! Hauck 11:11, 23 March 2018 (EDT)

Monstrosities

Hello, I'm sorry but I had to reject your submission as it would have been necessary to reconstruct nearly entirely as not much of it was salvageable. There were the folling problems:

  • erratic line breaks in the synopsis.
  • "Third Flatiron Anthologies" is not a title series but a publication series.
  • the number of pages is meaningless for an ebook, the field should be left void.
  • for the cover image, we're not allowed to deeplink to the specified website.
  • most importantly, each of the stories must be described individually (with its own title, its own author and its own type, POEM for Bryant's text) and not in a single line for all.

You may use this record for a tp as a guide. IMHO you can try your hand by entering only the skeleton of the anthology, then fill the contents. Are you ready to try? Hauck 11:23, 23 March 2018 (EDT)

The Adventures of Mountain Ma'am

I accepted your edits, but made a couple of changes:

  • The ISBN listed is for the print version. I removed it from the ebook version.
  • I changed the format from "paperback" to "tp". The ISFDB uses a specific set of values. I used "tp" (for trade paperback) based on the dimensions supplied by Amazon.

Yes, please list the individual stories. You should add them to the print version (since it is the first one published) and then once accepted, import them into the ebook version. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 18:49, 19 April 2018 (EDT)

The Adventures of Mountain Ma'am

Hello,

I have your update on hold. There are no changes in any field. What are you trying to change? Thanks! Annie 13:21, 20 April 2018 (EDT)

Looks like you submitted this one by mistake so I will cancel it. I approved your second submission and did one change: we regularize the case for titles so "By" is changed to "by" in "Raised by Wolves". The complete rules are here but the short version is that everything that does not start the title needs to be capitalized except for "and", "or", "the", "a", "an", "for", "of", "in", "on", "by", "at", "from", "with", and "to".
