Hi. The software automatically formats ISBNs, so correcting hyphenation by editing won't do anything. You can't actually force an ISBN to look like what's printed in the book. But, what do you think is wrong with the hyphenation in {{P|290058|No Brother, No Friend}}? (I'm responsible for most of the ISBN formatting and search handling, so I'm happy to take a look at it if it's incorrect). There are only two ISBN groups where we deliberately do not format correctly (according to the ISBN definition) due to widespread mis-formatting by Tor: 0-765-x (should be 0-765x-) and 0-812-x (should be 0-812x-). Thanks. --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 11:22, 17 July 2011 (UTC) | Hi. The software automatically formats ISBNs, so correcting hyphenation by editing won't do anything.

Hi again. A question/comment about one of the notes in each of {{P|356801|Mercenari Del Tempo}} and {{P|356800|I Mercenari Del Tempo}}: Are you citing a series the books appear in? If so, you can use the "Pub. Series" field to record that information (Pub Series is for a series set up by the publisher for a set of otherwise unrelated books; Title Series is for works that have some sort of connection. You would expect a "title series" to remain the same no matter who the publisher is, while you would expect the pub series to change/go away if the book were published by another publisher). --[[User:MartyD|MartyD]] 11:29, 17 July 2011 (UTC) | Hi again.

Welcome!
Hello, Deagol, 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 23:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
The Warbots
You can enter the artwork for Body Armor: 2000 as contents of type "INTERIORART" rather than leave the details in notes. BLongley 01:29, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
ISBN formatting
Hi. The software automatically formats ISBNs, so correcting hyphenation by editing won't do anything. You can't actually force an ISBN to look like what's printed in the book. But, what do you think is wrong with the hyphenation in No Brother, No Friend? (I'm responsible for most of the ISBN formatting and search handling, so I'm happy to take a look at it if it's incorrect). There are only two ISBN groups where we deliberately do not format correctly (according to the ISBN definition) due to widespread mis-formatting by Tor: 0-765-x (should be 0-765x-) and 0-812-x (should be 0-812x-). Thanks. --MartyD 11:22, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- The Playboy Press books I have give the ISBN as 0-872-x rather than the 0-872xx- given here. Deagol 11:42, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
Italian publications of At the Narrow Passage
Hi again. A question/comment about one of the notes in each of Mercenari Del Tempo and I Mercenari Del Tempo: Are you citing a series the books appear in? If so, you can use the "Pub. Series" field to record that information (Pub Series is for a series set up by the publisher for a set of otherwise unrelated books; Title Series is for works that have some sort of connection. You would expect a "title series" to remain the same no matter who the publisher is, while you would expect the pub series to change/go away if the book were published by another publisher). --MartyD 11:29, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
