Welcome!

Hello, Shrdlu, 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! Mhhutchins 21:32, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

The Distance by Helen Giltrow

I'm holding your submission to add a record of this title to the database. I could not find any speculative element about its contents, appearing to be a spy thriller. Is it science fiction, fantasy or horror (or any other subgenre of speculative fiction)? Mhhutchins 17:04, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Without a response from my inquiry I have no choice but to reject the submission. If you feel this rejection was wrong, please post a message on the ISFDB:Moderator noticeboard. Mhhutchins 07:27, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Grunts

Hi. I accepted your Grunts submission. Might it have an exclamation point, by any chance? I see we have Grunts!. --MartyD 11:43, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Passages

I accepted your submission for "Passages," and have made a small correction. Unknown authors and editors are entered as "uncredited" in lower case, as detailed on the help page for new pubs here. One of the titles "Fanged an Furious" also appears to be missing a letter. Could it be "Fanged an(d) Furious?--Rkihara 23:13, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Please also variant the stories to the french original texts. If they're not in the database, create them. Note that it's likely that nearly all these text are excerpts. Hauck 19:10, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

The ISBN 9780575096380 ...

... for your latest submission (The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries) seems to be faulty, as it is not valid and the book can't be found at amazon; could you please check it? Also, you didn't provide any publisher, please do state it here. I've put your proposal for this publication on hold while waiting. Thanks, Stonecreek 04:39, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

It seems also possible that this is in fact one of the OMNIBUSes we alread have in the database, please check the spelling on the title page. I'll wait two more days for an answer. Stonecreek 06:43, 16 September 2017 (EDT)
With no answer and no further evidence I rejected your submission. Please do communicate because else it's very hard for us to decide on such problems. Stonecreek 11:15, 20 September 2017 (EDT)

New Tales of Space and Time

Hi, I have rejected your submission for 'New Tales of Space and Time', as there is already a 1952 Weidenfeld & Nicolson edition with price 10/6 in our database: here. You can verify that. P.S.: Do not enter ’NONE’ in the isbn field, as it gives a bad checksum.--Dirk P Broer 15:56, 2 August 2018 (EDT)

I've made the book as by Raymond J. Healey a variant title, and Raymond J. Healey a variant name. Thanks for catching this publisher's error!--Dirk P Broer 06:40, 3 August 2018 (EDT)
