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 15:39, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Ralf Isau
What is the source for the birthdate you provided in the update for Ralf Isau? It is contradicted by the Wikipedia article which you linked to the author. (Not that Wikipedia is all that authoritative.) Thanks. Mhhutchins 19:00, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
It's the German Wikipedia entry for Ralf Isau -- not more authoritative at all, just contains more information. I've now looked into some of his books, but the small biographic text in the front only mentions the year of his birth, not the exact date. Same for his Homepage. So in summary, I'm not sure which date is correct - maybe setting to 1956-00-00 would be the most appropriate action. --Moritz 08:25, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
