Welcome!
Hello, Jdcowan, 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) 20:26, 14 May 2018 (EDT)
Additions
I accepted your recent additions, but they required a lot of work to bring up to ISFDB standards. Please review the help in the welcome message above as well as compare your submissions (My Recent Edits) with the current versions. We welcome authors adding their own works, but we expect that all contributors will enter data per our standards. 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) 20:26, 14 May 2018 (EDT)
Your submissions
Hello. Just a heads-up that I updated a few of your submissions to correct some minor errors: for example, always make sure to add source of data into the notes; ASIN's are generally for ebooks, not paperbacks (I've removed that one); I regularized the publisher of your self-published works to JD Cowan, as that was already in the database (and that's how we do that for publishers); corrected a date mixup where you had the ebook pub date instead of the tp pub date.
