Welcome!
Hello, Sfbooks52, 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! BLongley 18:52, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Deleting Images
Hopefully I've answered your question here, but if not, feel free to ask for more information or a demonstration. Thanks for editing! BLongley 18:55, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- How about a LOT of questions. I tried to follow your instructions about adding the image url to the publication, but I lost looking for the "add url image" section. Then it took me a few minutes to find this section to respond to you. I don't even know if I could find it again. Help me delete the "This Side of Infinity" cover image and add it correctly. My SF paperback collection spans 1975 and older. I would like to add needed images to this database. Thanks in advance.

- If you go to a publication display page, the page with details about a spcific publication, where an image should appaear, there will be a link on the left labeled "Edit this pub". If you click this you will enter the Publication Editor. This has fields for a lot of different data values. Just above the large Notes field is the ImageURL field. This is where the URL for a cover image must be entered or pasted. See Help:Screen:EditPub for more details on the various fields on this screen and what to enter into them. -DES Talk 20:52, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
