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 22:09, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Linking images to the ISFDB record.
Thanks for uploading cover images to the ISFDB wiki.

I noticed that you made two attempts to upload the same image. Both are now on the ISFDB server. I believe you made the second attempt because you received an error message concerning the system's inability to create a thumbnail for your image. This happens when you upload an image larger than what we suggest. If it's more than 150k in file size or more than 600 pixels in image size, it won't be visible on the ISFDB wiki page unless you adjust your preferences. You should go to the preferences tab, click on files, and then change your preferences to the maximum size.

Regardless of your personal settings, the file has been uploaded to the ISFDB server. (.) The next step is to link the image to the record of the book for which it is the cover. As the instructions (step 6) explain:


 * Once the file has been uploaded, the image's wiki page will appear. In order to get the URL (address) for the image you just uploaded, left click anywhere on the image and copy the URL from your browser's address window. (Or right click on the image and choose "Copy Image Location".) If you're adding a cover image to a pub record, this is the URL which you would enter into the pub record's "Image URL" field.

So once you have the image's URL, go back to the pub record (it's linked on the image's wiki page) and then click the "Edit This Pub" link under the Editing Tools menu. This opens up an edit page. Under the Publication Metadata section, there's a field labeled "Image URL:" Enter the URL of the image you uploaded into this field, and then click on the "Submit Data" button at the bottom of the page. Once the submission has been moderated the cover image will be linked to the publication record.

Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins 22:18, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Herbert's The Heaven Makers
If you have this printing please so a primary verification of the record. (Help is linked in the Welcome section above.) BTW, what is "SFWB"? What is the stated price on your copy? If the note was on the record before you updated it, and if it no longer applies you can remove it. Mhhutchins 22:57, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Updating verified records
I accepted the submission adding the cover image to the Moorcock novel, but you may not have noticed that the record is verified. We have rules concerning the editing of verified rules that may appear to be complicated to new editors. There's a link in the Welcome section about how to handle such changes. Thanks.
