Welcome!

Hello, Jrubas91, 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! Hauck 17:03, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

The Rocking Dead

Hello, I've put your submission on hold as there's not enough details in it to identify the publication. Do you want to enter this item? Hauck 17:11, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes.

Ditto for the last bunch of submissions. Please provide details of bindings, ISBNs, prices et cetera (you may state them here). Stonecreek 07:52, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Especially needed is information & source for The Ghostly Hitchhiker, of which there seems no trace to be found. Thanks, Stonecreek 08:39, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

I've corrected your first submission, result is here, please read the Help pages before trying another round. Hauck 07:54, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Some of your submissions...

... had to be rejected. The ones for The Hotel San Digot had an ISBN that led to an anthology that's already incorporated in ISFDB and is definitely no CHAPBOOK. If you'd like to add content to that one, just do it. Thanks, Stonecreek 18:09, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Recent Submissions

I rejected your addition of a CHAPBOOK for "The Witching Hour". Per the ISBN and your notes, you are trying to create a CHAPBOOK record for a single story out of the Wax & Wane anthology. Only real publications should entered. If you want that story in the database, you need to edit the existing anthology and add it to that. Not create a bogus record for a non-existent publication.

Also, I corrected some errors in your other submission. Please read the help pages linked above. In particular, take note of the following:

• Binding/Format: I changed the format from "paperback" to "tp". The ISFDB uses a specific set of values. I used "tp" (for trade paperback) based on the dimensions supplied by Amazon.
• Initials: Initials in people's names should be entered with a space between them (ex J. R. R. Tolkien)
• Currency: The applicable currency symbol should always be used as we catalog books from around the world in different currencies.

ISFDB has some conventions that need learning, but everything should be in the help links in the welcome message above. Please let us know if you have any questions (ISFDB:Help desk is a good resource for asking). -- JLaTondre (talk) 18:54, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
