Welcome!
Hello, Suedent, 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
- Help:Getting Started
- What the ISFDB Wiki is for
- ISFDB 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.
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.

Bio:Sue Dent
I see that you created Bio:Sue Dent. Please note our Biography guidelines, which say, in part:
"The purpose of any Bio page on the Wiki is to inform users and other editors briefly about the facts of the author's life. Bio pages should not include blurbs from or summaries of the author's works. Bio pages ought to be factual in content and the facts ought to be verifiable. If a matter is questionable, sources can be cited. This means that, in general, personal accounts, 'what inspired the author', what the author's 'visions' or intent is, and the like are not appropriate."
The addition of some facts about your life to the simple listing of the works you have published and the awards for which they have been nominated would be helpful. Note also that the Sue Dent author database record supports such fields as birth place and birth year (or full birth date, for those who wish to make this public -- in the era of identity theft many choose not to do so). These can be helpful in distinguishing between authors with similar names.
I notice that we have records for 2 publications of Never Ceese, and one of Forever Richard, but none of these are verified. Perhaps you would be willing to verify these records for us? See Help:How to verify data for details on this process.
Again, welcome to the ISFDB. ---DES Talk 16:09, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
