Welcome!

Hello, Helixhamin, 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
• Help:Getting Started
• What the ISFDB Wiki is for
• ISFDB 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) 03:50, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Three Non-SF Books?

I've placed your submission of Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's & In Cold Blood as well as Carlton's Three in Paradise on hold. These don't seem to be speculative fiction and so don't meet our inclusion policy. Am I missing something? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 03:50, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

As it's been a couple of days, I've gone ahead and rejected these submissions. -- JLaTondre (talk) 21:57, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

JLaTondre,

Thanks, actually I must have mistaken a few issues. I have seen many books that would not fit speculative SF, so I assumed that authors that did write some would also have other books not based on pure speculative SF would also benefit by being more complete in their book list.

I will take this to mind in the future.

Dragon's Tribute

I accepted the addition of Margaret L. Carter's Dragon's Tribute. However, I did make some changes:

1. The publisher field should be the company's name only - in this case "Ellora’s Cave" and not "An Ellora's Cave publication".
2. The publication format should be "tp" and not "Trade Paperback" - see the help
3. I changed the image link to Amazon. We can only link to sites which have explicitly given us permission. - see the help
4. I moved the link to the publisher's site from the Wikipedia field to the web page field.

The conventions can take a bit to get up to speed with so I recommend you read the links in the welcome message above. However, it was a good first attempt. Please ask if you have questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 03:50, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

This record is not a novel titled Dragon's Tribute, but a collection titled Maiden Flights, which includes Dragon's Tribute and a novella "Virgin Blood". I've corrected the record. You should do a primary verification of the record (see the link in the Help section) or give the source for your data in the note field. Mhhutchins 14:20, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
