Welcome!

Hello, Helge, 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! Stonecreek 14:56, 1 January 2018 (EST)

Fur Fiction 3

Hello, Helge! Due to your comment, I've put your submission on hold. I seem to understand that there were two different editions by two different publishers. If so, what was the first edition , what was its price and format (and what would be the differences with the second edition).

For an explanation: We not only try to capture different editions, we go even down to different printings, as prices, cover images and sometime even some contents do change over time. But many thanks for your additions so far. Christian Stonecreek 14:13, 2 January 2018 (EST)

Hello Christian,

both editions are completely the same - same price, same content, same cover and same layout. In fact the Solar-X publisher Wilko Müller was so friendly to help with the first Circle of Hagalaz edition; it was just not possible to publish the book by Solar-X at that time.

Best regards from Helge

Thanks for the explanations. I'll approve of the submission later: the time of publication still seems to have been different. Christian Stonecreek 03:51, 3 January 2018 (EST)
Okay, done! I also added the second edition, diversified the publishers and changed some fields to our standards (the Euro prices are entered €XX.XX). If you still own some copies you may want to primary verify some of the publications. Regards, Christian Stonecreek 10:58, 3 January 2018 (EST)

Establishing a pseudonym

Hello, Helge! Yes, it's quite easy to establish a variant name relationship (vulgo: pseudonym). There are two steps necessary (which's order is up to you): 1) Make a pseudonym (from the left tool bar of the assumed pseudonym's summary page). 2) Create new titles for the parent name (from the title(s) page(s)). If you do encounter problems, let me know it. Christian Stonecreek 11:21, 3 January 2018 (EST)

Hello Christian, i'm confused - where can i find that thing with the pseudonym? By the authos or the story or somewhere else?

It's here on the left side under 'Editing Tools'. Christian Stonecreek 06:49, 5 January 2018 (EST)

phantastisch!, #10

Hi Helge, thanks for contributing and for submitting issue number 10 of "phantastisch!" magazine. However, I had to correct numerous errors in your submission:

  • Price ares always entered with a dot as decimal separator, and Euro prices without a space after the "€" sign. I changed it to "€4.90". Please read Help:Screen:NewPub#Price for details.
  • I removed the image. We are only allowed to link to external images for a few sites. Please read Help:Screen:NewPub#Image_URL for how it works and which sites are allowed. Alternatively you can upload your own cover image into the ISFDB. See Help:How_to_upload_images_to_the_ISFDB_wiki for that.
  • The ISBN field is for ISBN numbers only, not for ISSN numbers. I removed the value. You can enter ISSN number in note field of the publication.
  • You entered the title of the magazine in the wrong form which is not consistent with the already existing records for this magazine. I changed it to "phantastisch!, #10".
  • I removed the publication series "phantastisch" because magazines organized into title series (which is a different thing than a publication series).

That's a lot, but don't worry: you'll learn :) Entering magazines is much more complicated than most other publication types in the ISFDB. If you plan to enter novels as well here you should probably enter them first in order to learn the ISFDB rules (and later return to the magazines).

I don't know if you did it, but one thing you should do before entering magazines is to research the ISFDB for other magazine issues which may already exist. That way you can see how they are organized and how the data look like (see the page for phantastisch!). Don't hesitate to ask question of something is unclear.
