Shouldn't the "first thing to do" be "create a username and log on"? :) Ahasuerus 03:40, 21 Dec 2006 (CST)

Um, yeah. Done. Please feel free to make edits like these yourself, if you want to -- I don't have any "pride of ownership" in these help pages, and I know they'll improve if we all collaborate. Mike Christie (talk) 09:00, 21 Dec 2006 (CST)
It's been my experience with maintaining Wikipedia articles that the worst offenders are well meaning but clueless editors who try to improve "my" articles by dragging them down to their own level. I figure it's better to double check -- even if I am 95% sure that I am right -- rather than find myself in their shoes :) Ahasuerus 11:16, 21 Dec 2006 (CST)
I did not know that creating a wiki account would automatically create an ISFDB account. Testing this by following the offered link to create an account called isfdb test did create the wiki account got gets "Login failed: Bad user name" on the ISFDB side of things.
