Welcome!
Hello, Cmariebissett, 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! Annie (talk) 19:38, 27 September 2022 (EDT)
What Remains
This book needed quite a lot of fixes but that is not unusual for a first submission.
- We credit the authors as they are credited on the title page. As I cannot see a title page anywhere, I can only use the cover so set that to Scully. If you have the book, please share how they are credited on the title page and I can change that. Also - if you want to add two names, you add them on two separate lines.
- We prefer exact dates when we have them so fixed the date based on Amazon.com
- The format is hardcover
- As we are an international DB, prices must contain currency symbols.
- The Web Pages links on the publication page are for specific links for that specific book, not for the publisher main page even if they have the book at the page now - in a few years, the page will show a different new book :)
- The Web Pages links are for specific links for the title. Amazon is never linked there :)
- I removed the synopsis. It is more advertising than synopsis and when copying from internet, we always need attribution. As it did not read as a synopsis, I just removed it instead of adding the credit to the publisher site.
- When adding stories to anthologies/collections but not adding all of them, we add a incomplete template so that people know that there are missing stories.
- Added a cover.
If you have the book, we will love the complete contents by the way. And if you want, you can verify the book. Meanwhile, the resulting book so far is here. Let me know if you have any questions and welcome again! You can press edit on the publication record to see how the template is applied (especially if you plan to add more books with only your stories) :) Annie (talk) 19:49, 27 September 2022 (EDT)
