Welcome!

Hello, Frink, 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! Annie 05:48, 1 December 2019 (EST)

Vorpal Glass, December 1960

I have accepted your addition of Vorpal Glass, December 1960, but made the following changes:

• Added the issue date to the title.
• Set the format to quarto as scans look like standard 8.5x11 pages.
• Changed the webpage link to be the specific issue.
• Added notes.
• Added contents.
• Added a local cover image.

I'm assuming you will add the other issues. If you need help, let me know. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 08:52, 21 May 2023 (EDT)

Thank you! I was unsure about some particular details of formatting, so having that fixed is a great help and I shall try to follow your layout.

Yes, I intend to add the remaining issues soon. --Frink (talk) 10:56, 25 May 2023 (EDT)

Vorpal Glass, June 1961

Hi, are You shure the name of the author in Your primary verified publication here is really "William Rostler" and not William Rotsler ? --Zapp (talk) 11:01, 30 June 2023 (EDT)

Oh, for... I can't *believe* I didn't catch that. Thank you! Correction submitted and I'll watch for it with the next issues I put in. Frink (talk) 20:00, 13 July 2023 (EDT)

Fermi's Question

Hi. I accepted your Fermi's Question submission but made two small changes:

1. We do not have permission to link to images on baen.com, so I switched to a URL on Amazon, where we do have permission (see Help:Screen:NewPub#Image_URL).
2. For unpaginated ebooks, we record the print-equivalent page length in the notes instead of in the Pages field, so I moved the 375 to the notes.

Just minor things to keep in mind for future submissions. Thanks, and thank you for contributing. --MartyD (talk) 08:00, 3 July 2023 (EDT)

If You use the Editing Tool 'Check for Duplicate Titles', You can see the 'Duplicate Finder' for to merge the identic titles. --Zapp (talk) 06:51, 12 July 2023 (EDT)

Thank you both, noted for future reference! Frink (talk) 20:03, 13 July 2023 (EDT)
