Hi, I accepted your submission, but I had to de-capitalize the title and author name as per our rules (see the wiki mentioned in the welcome post). I also unquoted the price and replaced the supplied cover link with one that we have permission to use (again: see the wiki, mentioned in the welcome post).--[[User:Dirk P Broer|Dirk P Broer]] 06:08, 30 December 2019 (EST) | Hi, I accepted your submission, but I had to de-capitalize the title and author name as per our rules (see the wiki mentioned in the welcome post).

| + | Hi, I wonder if you have taken time to read http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:Getting_Started:Enter_a_Novel, but there are a few things that go wrong when you enter a novel. Firstly, the price. http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Template:PublicationFields:Price as you can read you have to use a period, not a comma (the database originates in the USA). Secondly, the cover image. http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions as you can see you can not merely enter any url. I always replace them for you with the Amazon.fr image. Thirdly, the ISBN/ASIN. You enter both, while the ASIN you give points to the ebook version -which is another entry in our database. Lastly, the artist. http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:Screen:NewPub#Cover_Art There you make two mistakes: you begin with illustration, which is unneeded, and then you enter adobestock. We like to enter the name of the artist there, or his/her pseudonym.--[[User:Dirk P Broer|Dirk P Broer]] 10:01, 18 January 2020 (EST) | ||

Welcome!
Hello, Oceane2018, 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!.--Dirk P Broer 15:30, 29 December 2019 (EST)
DEVIANCE to Déviance
Hi, I accepted your submission, but I had to de-capitalize the title and author name as per our rules (see the wiki mentioned in the welcome post). I also unquoted the price and replaced the supplied cover link with one that we have permission to use (again: see the wiki, mentioned in the welcome post).--Dirk P Broer 06:08, 30 December 2019 (EST)
Entering a novel in ISFDB
Hi, I wonder if you have taken time to read http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:Getting_Started:Enter_a_Novel, but there are a few things that go wrong when you enter a novel. Firstly, the price. http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Template:PublicationFields:Price as you can read you have to use a period, not a comma (the database originates in the USA). Secondly, the cover image. http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions as you can see you can not merely enter any url. I always replace them for you with the Amazon.fr image. Thirdly, the ISBN/ASIN. You enter both, while the ASIN you give points to the ebook version -which is another entry in our database. Lastly, the artist. http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Help:Screen:NewPub#Cover_Art There you make two mistakes: you begin with illustration, which is unneeded, and then you enter adobestock. We like to enter the name of the artist there, or his/her pseudonym.--Dirk P Broer 10:01, 18 January 2020 (EST)
