From ISFDB
Welcome!
Hello, Baobab68, 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! Ahasuerus 15:31, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
David Sale
Thanks for letting us know about David Sale's year of birth! The information likely comes from The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, which says:
- David Sale [born Ernest Swindells]
- born Manchester, England: 1932
I will contact the SFE3 crew and see if they can check their records, which tend to be more comprehensive than ours. If the data is wrong (perhaps they got the wrong "David Sale"?), they will want to correct their page as well. I will also check with the ISFDB editor who specializes in biographical data and see what he says. Thanks again! Ahasuerus 15:36, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- FYI, I have received e-mail confirmation that the SFE3 team is looking into this. Ahasuerus 20:20, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
