Welcome!
Hello, RenegadeDBA, 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! BLongley 21:02, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I've approved your Author Update then gone back to make a few changes. Legal name is "Surname, Forename(s)" format. Birthdate is YYYY-MM-DD format. And you need the 'http' bit in front of webpage entries. Hopefully it looks right now? BLongley 21:02, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I've also approved the book entry: I had to change the publication date to YYYY-MM-DD format again, and the format to 'tp' for Trade Paperback as it seems to be slightly larger than standard paperback. I've also moved the notes to the 'Synopsis' field. How does it look now? BLongley 21:12, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
