Welcome!
Hello,, 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.
 * 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. 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 (~&#126;); 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 04:36, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

"Pacer" by Raymond F. Jones
I have to reject the submission to "unmerge" this story from the magazine issue and anthology in which it appeared. I'm not sure exactly what you were attempting to do, so please let me know and I can help you. You can respond here on your talk page by clicking on the [edit] link to the right and entering your response below my message in the window that opens. End the message with four tildes ( ~ ), and the system will then automatically "sign" and date it. Thanks. Mhhutchins 04:54, 13 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I have both the magazine (ASF) and the anthology (Future Kin) in my possession, and - in spite of the title - the two "Pacers" are completely different stories, sharing no characters or settings. We should unmerge these titles. Thank you.


 * We can disambiguate the later story so that they won't be merged, but we don't unmerge them from the publications in which they're contents. Regardless of their content, the stories, although different, remain part of the magazine and the anthology's publication record.  I'll handle separating them into two records. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Mhhutchins 19:31, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry - I was confused about unmerge & disabiguate.
