Welcome!

Hello, Kernos, 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! Mhhutchins 16:27, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Uploading images and linking them to the publication records

Re this image. It was larger than the ISFDB rules allow: i.e., no more than 600 pixels tall. So I have resized it and re-upped it to the 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.

I have done that for you. Here is the publication record with the linked cover image. Please keep these instructions to follow when uploading further cover image files. Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins 20:07, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Brain Child

You probably have the book club edition which is 298 pages. The retail edition has 407 pages. Mhhutchins 19:05, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Bradley's Heritage and Exile

I've rejected the submission to change the publication date of this record from 2007 to 2001. All data pretty clearly points to 2007 as the correct date: the ISBN, the price, the SFDB ID number all fall within the ranges apparent in 2007, not 2001. This is corroborated by the listing in the Locus database. If you can provide evidence otherwise, please respond to this message, or make another submission, giving evidence for the change in the submission's "Note to Moderator" field. Thanks.
