Welcome!
Hello, Ninlil, 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

- 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! Mhhutchins 18:35, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Your submission to add this publication was accepted into the database, but some changes were made to make it follow ISFDB standards. (Those standards are linked in the Welcome section above.) The date was changed to 2012-10-18 (based on the Amazon listing.) The format was changed to "tp" indicating a trade paperback. (This is an assumption based solely on the price. There's no indication on the Amazon listing of the size of the book. If it's less than 7.5 inches tall change the format to "pb". The ISBN was changed to the ISBN-13 which is the current standard if stated in the book. If only the ISBN-10 is stated in the book, then change this field back, and make a note about the absence of the ISBN-13. If you know the cover artist's name please update the record to add that to the "Cover Artist" field. I've also removed the series title from the note field and added it to the title record. I'm assuming you have a copy of this book and can do a primary verification of the record (instructions are linked in the Welcome section above.) If you do not have a copy, update the record to add the source of your data in the note field. Also, if you are the author or are familiar with her, please update the author data on the author's summary page. Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins 18:43, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
