Welcome!

Hello, Canuckscribe, 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! -- JLaTondre (talk) 18:36, 7 February 2022 (EST)

Thank you for the information. I believe I have sorted out James K. Moran. If I missed any credits, let us know. -- JLaTondre (talk) 18:36, 7 February 2022 (EST)

Fit for Consumption

I accepted the addition of Fit for Consumption, but had to make the following changes:

• ISBN: The ISBN field should only be a single number. If the book was issues with an ISBN13, then that forms should be used or otherwise the ISBN10. The software will automatically translate into the other version.
• Cover Artist: This is only for the artist. We do not credit the designer in this field. The designer can be noted in the pub notes.
• Image: We can only accept image links from sites that have given us permission. I changed this to an Amazon image. You can also upload a local image if you wish (see instructions in the welcome message at the top of the page).
• Price: Please add ".00" for whole dollar amounts.
• Afterword: Nonfiction is only used for a whole publication that is all nonfiction. For an essay within another work, we use "ESSAY" as the type. For common titles like "Foreword", "Preface", and "Afterword", we also add the publication title in parenthesis.

Regarding your request for feedback, you did very well for a first attempt. ISFDB has some conventions that need learning, but everything should be in the help links in the welcome message above. We hope you will continue to contribute. And please let us know if you have any questions (ISFDB:Help desk is a good resource for asking).

I did have one question on this pub: You entered it with a date that is down to the day. Is that date on the pub itself? Or is it from a secondary source (Amazon, publisher's website, etc)? If the later, you should have a publication date stating the source (example: "Only data is year. Publication date from publisher's website as of 2022-02-13"). -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:01, 13 February 2022 (EST)
