Welcome!

Hello, KarenB, 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! Mhhutchins 23:45, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

All Those Explosions Were Someone Else's Fault

Hello, I've approved your submssions but there was one mistake to correct:

• the excerpt (likely of a future novel by Gardner) should have the date of the publication where it appeared and not the future release date of the whole novel, so I've changed its date to "2017-11-07".
  

and a sourcing problem:

• in order to speed up the moderating process, when you own a physical copy of the book (as seems to be the case here), it's better to become one of its "Primary Verifiers" (use the "verify This Pub" link on the left), this will indicate that the data entered comes from a physical copy and is trustworthy. This will allow you to delete the "Data from Amazon and Locus Magazine #684 as of 2018-01-03." bit. Thanks for contributing. Hauck 09:56, 12 March 2018 (EDT)

Thank you for the clear feedback! I think I understand the problems; I will try to make different mistakes next time. KarenB 06:50, 14 March 2018 (EDT)

We all do, there is virtually no end to what can be done wrong!Hauck 07:48, 14 March 2018 (EDT)

Her Beautiful Monster

Hello, I've approved your submission. You did right by entering the date that's on the book, we go by this in priority. As for the different date given on the publisher's site, it's entirely uo to you to decide if this info is worth adding in the note field. IMHO it's overkill (and this data may not be that reliable), but you're at the helm here. Hauck 08:06, 14 March 2018 (EDT)
