Welcome!
Hello, WolfgangRieger, 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! Rudam 06:36, 29 March 2018 (EDT)
Your author update
Sorry to say, but I rejected your update, since it would clog the author page if we would add every wikipedia page for all available languages (and since it is quite easy to reach your desired language once you are at Wikipedia). I hope you understand. But thanks for contributing! Stonecreek 00:55, 4 April 2018 (EDT)
- Ok, but then you should mention that under Template:AuthorFields:WebPage. Greetings --WolfgangRieger 06:40, 4 April 2018 (EDT)
Die Flusswelt der Zeit
Hello, I've put your submission on hold, as these are PVed publications. So please discuss these title changes with the primary verifier first, who does seems to take a look at matters on a regular basis. Thanks, Stonecreek 03:13, 6 June 2018 (EDT)
- Just take a look at the covers. WolfgangRieger 03:15, 6 June 2018 (EDT)
- I did, but in the end they are possibly irrelevant, as we assign titles per the title page(s). Stonecreek 13:37, 6 June 2018 (EDT)
- As you may know, the German spelling changed, and the titles of later editions were adapted. Of course, it is also totally possible, that the title on the cover was changed, while the title on the title page was not. WolfgangRieger 02:17, 7 June 2018 (EDT)
- It is possible that the verifier just cloned an existing publication and the title was in fact changed on the title page as well, but that has to be clarified by asking. Stonecreek 02:43, 7 June 2018 (EDT)
- ok. --WolfgangRieger 09:53, 7 June 2018 (EDT)

Carl T. Ford
When we have a situation like Carl T. Ford/Carl Ford, we do not merge the authors - instead we set them as alternative names. We record the names "as written" (except for some formatting around dots and so on), so these are two different names. But we do connect them. I did that here. Let me know if you have any questions or if I can assist further. Annie 13:41, 25 October 2018 (EDT)
- Well, it is the desired effect. I looked for "merging" and overlooked "Make/Remove Alternate Name". Thanks. --WolfgangRieger 14:15, 25 October 2018 (EDT)
Zerfall
I found Your verified publication Zerfall and added the cover image. And there is a question about the artist. We have Olof Feindt and Van Vindt separate in the database. Can You please find out in which way the artist is credited in the book? Thank You. --Zapp 01:50, 7 September 2019 (EDT)
- On the copyright page it reads: "Umschlagbild: Olof Feindt (Van Vindt), Hamburg". Greetings --WolfgangRieger 12:28, 7 September 2019 (EDT)
- Thank You. I guess You should put this under "note" and give the artist's name only Olof Feindt, because the pseudonym is to see here and otherways the person is twice in isfdb. --Zapp 13:45, 9 September 2019 (EDT)
- Done. --WolfgangRieger 16:01, 9 September 2019 (EDT)

Redundant entries
Hi, can you please stop entering both a -working- external DNB link, plus entering the non-working url for a DNB link in the note field? The latter is not needed and only creates maintenance reports.--Dirk P Broer 11:44, 5 December 2019 (EST)
- The other links you place at publication level -and that don't link either because of the way you enter them in the note field- are better off in the Web-Page field of the title, the upper part of a new entry, the 'Title data' part.--Dirk P Broer 12:13, 5 December 2019 (EST)
