I approved your submission for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?839608 Power], but you need to make a number of changes to meet ISFDB standards. First, don't capitalize POWER. I know the pub may do so, but ISFDB does not capitalize whole words in titles. Second, don't enter ", editor" after the editor's name; since this is an anthology, it is understood that she is the editor. Third, don't enter "Cover Art" with the artist's name, just the name. The software understands that he's responsible for the cover art. Don't enter two prices; enter one, and put the other in the notes. And Canadian dollars are indicated by C$. And it's not clear if you own a copy of the pub. If you do, verify the pub. Putting that you are a contributing author is unusual, but O.K. if you say "The primary verifier is a contributing author" if you verify the pub. And if you do own the pub, or have the information otherwise, it would be helpful if you can enter the contents. Even if you enter only your own contribution, you should do so. Glad to have you participate in the ISFDB, and hope you will continue to do so.

Welcome!
Hello, CodfishCasanova, 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! MagicUnk 08:44, 4 June 2021 (EDT)
Power: In the Hands of One, in the Hands of Many
I approved your submission for Power, but you need to make a number of changes to meet ISFDB standards. First, don't capitalize POWER. I know the pub may do so, but ISFDB does not capitalize whole words in titles. Second, don't enter ", editor" after the editor's name; since this is an anthology, it is understood that she is the editor. Third, don't enter "Cover Art" with the artist's name, just the name. The software understands that he's responsible for the cover art. Don't enter two prices; enter one, and put the other in the notes. And Canadian dollars are indicated by C$. And it's not clear if you own a copy of the pub. If you do, verify the pub. Putting that you are a contributing author is unusual, but O.K. if you say "The primary verifier is a contributing author" if you verify the pub. And if you do own the pub, or have the information otherwise, it would be helpful if you can enter the contents. Even if you enter only your own contribution, you should do so. Glad to have you participate in the ISFDB, and hope you will continue to do so. Bob 19:55, 3 June 2021 (EDT)
