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
 * 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 ( ~ ); 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! --MartyD 10:10, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Preston Grassmann modification submission
Hi, and welcome. I have a question about your submission to change : It doesn't seem to change anything. I can't tell if the save was accidental or if something you typed in didn't survive the submission process (sometimes ill-formatted information gets thrown away silently). Let me know what you were trying to do, and I'll be happy to help. You can reply here by editing this section and indenting your response by putting a colon at the beginning of the line. Thanks. --MartyD 10:19, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

p.s. You can see your submission by using the My Pending Edits link on the main ISFDB page. --MartyD 10:21, 30 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I accepted the submission, but if you see this, you should revisit that record and try whatever changes you intended again. Thanks.  --MartyD 11:09, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

The Urban Uncanny
For your propose submission of The Urban Uncanny as a non-fiction publication by Preston Grassmann, containing a review dated "Spring 2012" by Grassman of Lauren Beukes' The Urban Uncanny, are you meaning to record the review that appeared in Bull Spec #7, Spring 2012 (e.g., as I found listed here)? If so, this will need to be done differently. We can record the whole issue of the magazine (see, for example). Full-blown help for recording new publications is here, if you'd like to try your hand at it. If you'd rather not, I would be happy to enter that issue for you. Thanks, and thanks for contributing. --MartyD 11:09, 30 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I have entered the magazine issue and the review, and I have rejected your submission. Please take a look at  and make sure it is accurate.  Thanks.  --MartyD 12:45, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Caledonia Dreamin
Hello, I have put your submission on hold, because there are some unresolved questions: 1) The publisher should probably be 'Eibonvale Press', which is the one we have already in the database. 2) Publisher states a second editor, Chris Kelso. 3) Publisher states a different price (in GBP rather than in $), what is your source for the price? 4) Publisher states some more stories than just one (I may add them for you). 5) Do you have permission to enclose a link to the site of the cover image? (if not, we aren't allowed to display it). Thanks, Stonecreek 11:18, 16 January 2014 (UTC)


 * After no response for some time I added data and modified the entry to the stated source, the publisher, with the stated second editor, price and page count. Please use for future submissions the data you actually state in the notes (there will be differences otherwise). Thanks, Stonecreek 10:02, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
