Welcome!

Hello, Ronibald, 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! Stonecreek 02:17, 13 February 2018 (EST)

Hans Kurz

Hello, is it you, Ronald? I've put your submission on hold to clarify if the 'parent' author really should be changed. Christian Stonecreek 02:25, 13 February 2018 (EST)

Okay, I think you're right. Approved. Christian Stonecreek 00:24, 15 February 2018 (EST)

Yep, I was Hans Kurz (but only for a short time; it's more or less a fannish pseudonym). ;-)

Der rote Gott

Hi, I've put your submission on hold, as we already have this item 'in stock' (see here), I think. It's only that we have it as a CHAPBOOK (titles that have one piece of shortfiction), containing a novella with the same title: the range for NOVELs here begins when they have at least 40,000 words. So, the submission may better be cancelled? In any case, Wuppertal rules! Christian Stonecreek 10:58, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

There is no CHAPBOOK oft his title. And never was. I still need a bit of experience to find out how do work in this data bank! All the best from Germany! ;-)

The definition of an isfdb CHAPBOOK is really just that it contains ONE piece of shortfiction (if there were more, it would transform into a COLLECTION). If "Der rote Gott" (that means the text) would be reprinted in a COLLECTION of yours (or an ANTHOLOGY) it would be defined as a novella (just like Jack London's 'prequel' is a piece of shortfiction). So, it's really a (fine, as for me) piece of shortfiction. And also all the best from Germany! Christian Stonecreek 08:42, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

I just have looked into the publication and found that it contains a text of less than novel length, so I rejected your initial submission.

It really takes some time to get into the inner logic of this little db. Christian Stonecreek 05:39, 15 September 2018 (EDT)

Klaus Diedrich

Regarding this submission: What is the source for this change? Biographical data should be sourced same as with publication data. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 08:02, 24 November 2022 (EST)

I'd think it's okay to approve, considering this and Ronald ('Ronibald') being one of the co-authors of Sternenjäger im Kosmos. Christian Stonecreek (talk) 09:01, 24 November 2022 (EST)

Edit has been approved & source statement added. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 08:36, 26 November 2022 (EST)

I also added the year of his death. Christian Stonecreek (talk) 06:50, 27 November 2022 (EST)

Es gibt 'ne Todesanzeige im Netz, ich hab aber die Quelle vergessen. P.S. Ich versteh alles, was ihr schreibt, bin aber leider nicht immer fähig, grammatikalisch einwandfrei zu antworten. ;-)

'Null problemo' as a prominent alien did say it. Christian Stonecreek (talk) 08:45, 30 November 2022 (EST)

Ich möchte auch noch sagen, dass ihr hier eine großartige Arbeit leistet!

Death and birth dates

Do you have a source for the death date you added with your submission? You should always have a source for information such as this. We don't want to be reporting someone's death without having a solid source to back it up. I've placed this submission on hold until a source can be provided. Thanks! ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 14:23, 29 December 2022 (EST)

I've also placed this submission for his birthdate since no source was provided. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 14:24, 29 December 2022 (EST)

As well as this submission for Antonio Bellomi's death. Feel free to provide the sources here. Thanks! ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 14:29, 29 December 2022 (EST)

It is always about people with whom I was personally friends. I always got the information from family members or mutual acquaintances. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ronibald (talk • contribs) . 06:18, 31 December 2022‎ (EST)

If you can provide a link to an obituary or something similar for any of them, that will be helpful. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:27, 3 January 2023 (EST)

Die Stadt am Ende der Welt

I had to reject your submission, as you wanted to update the Kindle edition. If you want to add the paperback edition, you should clone the ebook record, and adjust as needed - do provide details about the source of the data you're adding (I checked Amazon DE, and they didn't have the paperback edition - or I douldn't find it). Cloning can be done easily by selecting the publication record to clone, and selecting the menu-item on the left of the screen. Regards, MagicUnk (talk) 15:06, 26 January 2023 (EST)

Sorry, I am just a bloody beginner. (RMH)
