Welcome!

Hello, Merlene, 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! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mhhutchins (talk • contribs) .

Whipping Star by Herbert

I accepted the submission updating this publication record. We ask that you do a verification of the record if you have a copy of the book. If you don't have the book, please note the source of the data in the record's note field. Here is a link to the help page that explains how to verify a record. Thanks for contributing.

I added the required license tag to the image file you uploaded for Whipping Star. The best way to add cover images is to use the semi-automated method: go to the record of the book you want to upload the image for, and click "Upload cover scan" (or "Upload new cover scan", if there's one already there) and follow the directions. This will create and add the license tag automatically. The only thing after that you need to do is to update the record by adding the URL of the image you just uploaded. Thanks.

The Blood Artists

Hi. I accepted your submission of The Blood Artists. I moved the "Jacket design by..." information from the Artist field to the notes and made the artist credit be simply Richard L. Aquan. We use a person's name, or a company's name if no person credited, putting any further detail in the notes (for example, sometimes we get "jacket art by xyz" plus "jacket design by abc", in which case we only credit xyz). You should be able to upload the full cover scan -- it doesn't have to be a scan of just the front. If you were not able to scan it in one piece, you will need to put all of the pieces together into one jpg or gif (e.g., using Paint on Windows) and upload that. Thanks, and thank you for contributing. --MartyD 10:46, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Images

If you have some, we want them! As mentioned elsewhere, the want-list would be really, really long, so letting us know what you can fill in would be good. BLongley 02:03, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Saberhagen's The Books of the Gods: Part One

Hi Merlene. I have your submission to change the date of this pub from 2001-01-00 to 2000-12-00. Is this date actually stated in the book itself? Our source for the current date is Locus1, but that may have been the date they received the book. Thanks for checking. Mhhutchins 20:43, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

On the copyright page about 3/4 of the way down the page it says--First SFBC Fantasy printing December 2000.

BTW, I find it very confusing here--the project is huge, with many instructions (which I read), that are very complicated and many times I don't understand them. I love science fiction and have thousands and thousands of books. I want very much to help as much as I can. For example, is there someplace that tells how to use this talk page--I look, and search for things--but somehow I am just not "getting it". I am sorry to bother you like this, but I have been a user on the site for years and never realized until recently that you could JUST JOIN, and contribute.
