Welcome!

Hello, ErickSoares3, 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! Stonecreek 03:46, 8 May 2018 (EDT)

Inferno

I made a couple changes to your verified publication Inferno. Changed the price to the list price. Added the translator templates to both the publication and title records. Changed the date from 2013-05-01 to 2013-05-13 (your note says source of data is Amazon so I used the Amazon.com.br date). Let me know and I'll reverse any change you don't agree with.

A note on ebooks

I notice you've added a couple of electronic magazines with page numbers. For electronic-format publications (ebooks), we don't add page numbers (not meaningful for ebooks). Since your recent submissions were accepted (in error), may I ask you to review them and remove the total number of pages, as well as the page numbering of the Contents? if you like, you can always retain the information by transferring it to the notes. Thanks in advance, Regards, MagicUnk (talk) 13:02, 10 March 2023 (EST)

Hi! So, it is supposed to look like this? I can review the rest tomorrow and there are still some texts that I want to do the translation connection (but first, I'm waiting for the "translator template" to be accepted). For some reason, the first magazine is still to be accepted. ErickSoares3 (talk) 15:16, 10 March 2023 (EST)

That first issue: it may be because you are trying to add two collections into that magazine -- which is... weird. Why are there two of them (translation and original?) and what are they supposed to be? Short stories? I can approve it as soon as I know how to fix it :) Annie (talk) 15:28, 10 March 2023 (EST)

Hi! There are two of them because the magazine publishes both versions (original and translation - in this case, one in French and one in Portuguese) side by side. It is described as a collection of short stories, but seeing at Amazon, the original collection has far more shorts stories than what the magazine have for this specific author (see here) - is weird why the original work in this side doesn't cite all the texts. It may be better to hold it or just cancel it and I will submit it again. ErickSoares3 (talk) 15:43, 10 March 2023 (EST)

You cannot add a collection in a magazine - we have a somewhat of an exception for the Italian magazines because of how we classified them but outside of it, you need to add the individual stories and not the collection. So yes - cancel it and resubmit with the correct types and titles. Annie (talk) 15:49, 10 March 2023 (EST)
