Entering pieces crediting more than one author
I'v changed the author credit of this piece from "Mike Resnick and John Kenny" to "Mike Resnick" and "John Kenny". Each author is individually credited in their own field. (Otherwise the story is only credited to the one author with the name "Mike Resnick and John Kenny".) There's a button following each author field (Author1) labeled "Add Author", which once click on opens a new field for Author2. Thanks and welcome to the ISFDB.

Linking uploaded images to records
Thanks for uploading a cover image to the ISFDB wiki. The next step is to link the image to the record of the book for which this 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 18:13, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
