Welcome!

Hello, S. Qiouyi Lu, 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! Mhhutchins|talk 17:23, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Webzine eligibility

I'm holding your submissions to add publication records for the webzine Inkscrawl to the ISFDB. The current ISFDB policy is that webzines are only eligible for inclusion under specific conditions. The Rules of Acquisition states:

Works published in a web-based publication (webzine) and available only as an HTML readable file are not eligible for inclusion with the following exceptions:
  • It is published by a market which makes the author eligible for SFWA membership (listed here).
  • It has been shortlisted for a major award. (This last may include works which are self-published by an author on their own website. Otherwise such works are not eligible.)

Based on this policy it doesn't appear that Inkscrawl is eligible. Do you have further information that would allow it to be indexed in the ISFDB? If so, please respond here. I regret that you made so much effort into creating these records, since the policy as outlined here is linked to the front page of the ISFDB wiki. Also, posting a question on the ISFDB: Community Portal would have helped as well. Mhhutchins|talk 17:32, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Reviews of ineligible titles

The policy of inclusion states:

  • Reviews of media products (films, TV shows, games, music and dramatized recordings), stage productions, magazines and fanzines (regardless of their genre), and books that are not eligible for inclusion in the database (graphic novels, nongenre novels by authors that are below the threshold, nonassociational nonfiction works), should not be entered into the "Review" section of the data entry form. A record should be created in the "Regular Titles" section typed as ESSAY. If the review is not titled, this title format is suggested: Review of "Work" by Responsible Person(s). Descriptions of the type of work are also encouraged.

So I have deleted the REVIEW of The History of White People in this publication and added a content record as an ESSAY. Thanks. Mhhutchins|talk 00:31, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

About the ...

I accepted your edits to The SEA Is Ours, but deleted the "About the Authors" and "About the Editors" entries. We generally do not include these as content records unless they are of substantial length or quality. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 00:40, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
