Welcome!
Hello, Floodmss, 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) 17:56, 13 February 2022 (EST)

George Allen & Unwin Australia
Hello,
We somewhat standardize the names of publishers so that books from the same publisher stay together when possible. In the case of George Allen & Unwin Australia, using the name does not create confusion (and makes absolutely clear how it differs from the UK one). Some editors drop all kinds of organizational suffixes (Pty, Ltd and so on) which will cause issues in this case if we use those to differentiate from the UK one. I've added notes for the different credits on the publisher level and you are welcome to add notes to the books on how exactly it is credited but until such a time that we can connect separate versions of publishers, please use "George Allen & Unwin Australia" when adding books by this publisher. Thanks! Annie 21:46, 17 February 2022 (EST)
