Welcome!

Hello, Orcax, 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!Kraang 03:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome, Kraang :). I'll be hanging around, this is the neatest tool I've found on the web in a long time. I'm currently updating my books database and isfdb is a wonderful help. Orcax 19:22, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

The Revolving Boy

The ISBN you gave for The Revolving Boy seems invalid, can you check it again please? "0330025694" seems more likely. BLongley 21:32, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and we enter UK decimal prices as "£0.25" rather than "25p" for instance, I've fixed that for you though this time. BLongley 21:32, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Starship Death

Could you please re-check the ISBN on Starship Death which you just added? You entered it as "0 352 33169 X". I suspect it's 0-352-31169-X. Note, if it's stated wrong in the book then we'll add a note about this. Also, even if a book shows an ISBN using spaces we enter it in ISFDB using hyphens or all in one as in 035231169X. --Marc Kupper|talk 23:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

You're both correct. Starship Death should be 0-352-31169-X and the Revolving Boy should be 0-330-02569-4. No spaces, check - I'll just be using the hyphens. And the £ notations. Orcax 10:40, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
OK, both ISBNs corrected now. BLongley 13:08, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Harrison's One Step from Earth

I imported story contents from a previous printing of the title you submitted. Please check to make sure that all the stories are in your edition as well. When you get a chance you can add the page numbers. Also, is there some roman-numeraled pages as in the 1981 Arrow printing? Thanks. MHHutchins 23:44, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Have added the page numbers. Will this thing autosort? Orcax 00:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
