Welcome!

Hello, PaulineB, 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!Kraang 22:37, 24 May 2022 (EDT)

Martian: The Magazine of Science Fiction Drabbles, March 2022

Thanks for submitting Issue 3 of Martian: The Magazine of Science Fiction Drabbles. I did make a few changes and additions.

1. The proper title format is <series>, <date> (Issue or volume numbers go in the notes)
2. Enter the series name in the Series field. (Next field after language when entering a new pub)
3. Format is ebook not webzine. This magazine is not available on the publisher's website (webzine), I assume you downloaded it from Amazon.com since you added the ASIN.
4. Add the list price, even if you paid something different.
5. Take advantage of our ability to link Amazon images. Here's how

Magazines are not the easiest place to start. If any of my changes aren't clear, ask questions. I'm monitoring your talk page. John Scifibones 17:29, 10 June 2022 (EDT)

Thanks for the corrections! I’ll make those same changes in the other issue that I submitted for this series. PaulineB 11:22, 11 June 2022 (EDT)

Prices

Please be sure to include the correct currency symbol when entering prices. You can find a complete list of them at Help:List of currency symbols. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:12, 16 June 2022 (EDT) Will do, thanks. PaulineB 10:16, 14 August 2022 (EDT)

Adding a translator for a title

I've approved your submission for the June 2022 Clarkesworld and updated the translated story so you can see how to add the translator. Basically, you add it to the title notes for the story. If you click the "Edit" link at the top right of that story's title page, you can look in the Notes field to see how it's done. Please let me know if you have any questions! ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 20:04, 6 October 2022 (EDT) Thank you! PaulineB (talk) 18:58, 8 October 2022 (EDT)

Nightmare Sky: Stories of Astronomical Horror

I accepted the addition of Nightmare Sky: Stories of Astronomical Horror, but had to make a couple of changes:

• I changed the type from collection to anthology. For ISFDB, for it to be a collection, all the stories would have to written by the same author(s).
• For Foreword, Introduction, & Preface, we add the publication title in parenthesis as a given author can have written many of these.
• 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.
• I added the cover from Amazon. You are welcome to replace with an uploaded version if you wish.
• I removed the ASIN as it is specific to the Kindle version. I did clone a new record for the ebook and I added the ASIN to that record.
• Looking at the Amazon Look Inside, it does not appear the date was printed inside. As such, I updated the notes to source the date from Amazon.

Please let me know if you have any questions on these. -- JLaTondre (talk) 08:36, 24 November 2022 (EST)
