I accepted the submission adding [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?286446 this fanzine], but had to make some changes. Any nonfiction piece should be entered as an ESSAY type. The NONFICTION type is reserved for title records of larger works (nonfiction books or collection of nonfiction pieces). Also reviews should be entered in the fields directly below the first set of open fields for contents. You have the chance to enter the book under the review, the author of the book, and the reviewer of the book. I fixed those to reviews but you'll have to go back in and add the authors of the books. Also, it there a publisher listed, is there a price, what is the total page count, is there a cover artist. More importantly does the publication have a date other than 2008. When entering contents that are original to the publication you should leave the date field blank for the contents as the system will automatically date them the same date placed in the pub's header fields. Placing 0000-00-00 into those fields overrides the system and the content records remain undated. Thanks for the contribution.

Welcome!

Helix submission
From our Policy page:. "Web only publications such as webzines. The problem for us is that they are not durable; anything we index could change, be reorganized, edited, updated with new versions or revisions, and so on. In addition, the URLs are not likely to be durable. So for now web only publications are not accepted into the ISFDB." Which, unfortunately, is true of Helix. Sorry. Hopefully you will find this response; you can reply on this page.--swfritter 21:59, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- I guess you haven't found the wiki. I am regretfully rejecting your submission for the reasons above. Even if we could form a consensus to add Helix to our database it really wouldn't be possible since it no longer has a web presence.--swfritter 21:04, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Note to other editors. I used email to inform Shsilver of the rejection of his submission. He saw this wiki entry and hopefully will now be able to log on.--swfritter 22:15, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Argentus
I accepted the submission adding this fanzine, but had to make some changes. Any nonfiction piece should be entered as an ESSAY type. The NONFICTION type is reserved for title records of larger works (nonfiction books or collection of nonfiction pieces). Also reviews should be entered in the fields directly below the first set of open fields for contents. You have the chance to enter the book under the review, the author of the book, and the reviewer of the book. I fixed those to reviews but you'll have to go back in and add the authors of the books. Also, it there a publisher listed, is there a price, what is the total page count, is there a cover artist. More importantly does the publication have a date other than 2008. When entering contents that are original to the publication you should leave the date field blank for the contents as the system will automatically date them the same date placed in the pub's header fields. Placing 0000-00-00 into those fields overrides the system and the content records remain undated. Thanks for the contribution. MHHutchins 04:22, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
