Welcome!
Hello, Galacticjourney, 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) 14:09, 28 December 2018 (EST)
Galactic Journey
I holding your addition of Galactic Journey as a fanzine. Looking at the supplied link, this looks like a website blog. While ISFDB does catalog webzines, we don't catalog websites in of themselves. We limit our inclusion to online periodicals with distinct issues (see our policy for more details). Abyss & Apex or Beneath Ceaseless Skies would be examples of webzines. Am I missing something regarding the Galactic Journey website? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 18:14, 28 December 2018 (EST)
