Welcome!

Hello, Ecelan, 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:

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! Hauck 14:34, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

The Gilded Scarab

Hello, I've approved your submission for this book but had to make some changes to conform to our standards: 1) regularized publisher to Dreamspinner Press, 2) changed format to "tp" as per dimensions given by amazon and $17.99 price that pointed to the print version, 3) uploaded a scan into our system (we're not allowed to deeplink to the specified site), 4) added artist from amazon's "Look Inside", 5) changed ISBN to the one of the print version (the one given was for the ebook). The result is here. Thanks for contributing. Hauck 14:44, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Globally the same set of remarks for Gyrfalcon (as per price I supposed that you wished to enter the tp so I corrected the ISBN and the format). Hauck 14:50, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

In Heaven and Earth

Hello, this one is a bit more complicated (you're plunging straight into our idiosyncrasies here). 1) I've changed to type to CHAPBOOK (it's a collection with only one text that is less than novel-length) as per word count given on the publisher's site and added the contained novella (to where I transferred the synopsis), 2) deleted the number of pages (it's close to meaningless for an ebook), 3) uploaded scan, 4) deleted info about Publication Series (note that it seems that's "2015" on cover not "2013") as the proposed publication series (a sometimes mystifiyng concept examplfied by Ace Double) seems (to me at last) quite unclear and more like a vintage. Result is here. Hauck 15:07, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Your recent submissions

Hello, I've approved your batch of recent submissions but made a few changes to conform to our standards: 1) for Mongrel I've changed the name to "K. Z. Snow" (note space between initials) and changed "," in price to "."; 2) for Under the Rushes just changed decimal separator; 3) for The Lightning-Struck Heart , I've uploaded the scan (we're not allowed to deeplink to the specified site); 4) same for Family of Lies: Sebastian, I was also wondering if the title should not be shortened to Sebastian; 5) same again for Bone Rider.

Dimensions

Hello, at 15,2 x 1,8 x 22,9 cm, the publications that you added to Under the Rushes (and others) must be entered as a tp. I've also corrected Anne Caine to Anne Cain. Hauck 13:01, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Ciencia ficción: Nueva guía de lectura

Hello, I've approved your submission but made some changes to conform to our standards: 1) deleted synopsis which should be in english (even if we're an international database, we use english to communicate), 2) changed publication series to "Nova ciencia ficción" (this one), 3) deleted link to image as we're not allowed to deeplink to the specified site (BTW do not try to upload images independantly of the publication as you try to do, see in the help pages to see how to make a proper upload) and correctly uploaded it. The result is here. Hauck 15:07, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
