Welcome!

Hello, Greg Hullender, 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:

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! Hauck 19:14, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Apex Magazine, January 2017

Hello, I've approved your submission for this issue but had to make some chnages to conform to our standards: 1) changed all dates to 2017-01 (cover date trumps all), 2) regularized "J.J. Litke" to "J. J. Litke" (spaces are mandatory), ditto for Wise, 3) deleted one extra EDITOR record (titled Apex Magazine - 2016) that would mess up things, 4) uploaded a scan into our system as we're not allowed to deeplink to the specified website, 5) added title series "Apex Magazine" to put the issue in the proper grid, 6) regularized Sturgis' name and varianted the essay. The result is here. Thanks for contributing. Hauck 19:30, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks!

This was my first submission, so I should get better with practice.

I'm struggling to figure out how to connect a magazine issue with the list of issues for that year--or how to create a new series for the new year. I hunted and hunted in the help text, but couldn't find it.

Beneath Ceaseless Skies, #219

I accepted your edit of Beneath Ceaseless Skies, #219 but made some changes to match ISFDB conventions:

  • Binding: We enter Beneath Ceaseless Skies as a webzine. While it is published both on the web and as an ebook, we use the web version (i.e. webzine) as the primary format and include a note in the publication notes fields stating it is also available as an ebook. The ISFDB doesn't have a good way for dealing with magazine in multiple formats.
  • Price: The price field entry should include the currency symbol. The ISFDB deals in multiple currencies.
  • Image: We can only use images from sites that have explicitly given us permission to do so. See ISFDB:Image linking permissions for a list of such sites. If you wish to contact the site to see about permission, the instructions to do so are below the list.
  • Series: The series should be given as "Beneath Ceaseless Skies". The " - 2017" is applied to the title record (which is not editable from the new publication screen, but has to be done after the new publication is submitted).

We do appreciate your submission. ISFDB has some conventions that need learning, but everything should be in the help links in the welcome message above. We hope you will continue to contribute. And please let us know if you have any questions (ISFDB:Help desk is a good resource for asking). -- JLaTondre (talk) 01:09, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
