Welcome!
Hello, Sdexter, 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: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.

- 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! Hauck 14:22, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
Simak's nonfiction
Hello, I've approved your submission but made a few changes: 1) for Trilobite, Dinosaur and Man: The Earth’s Story, regularized capitalization and slightly changed title as per this image of what seems to be the title page, fetched price here as becker gives much less data and managed to obtain an (very poor) scan of the cover. I've also the NONGENRE flag to yes, 2) for Prehistoric Man and Wonder and Glory: The Story of the Universe same set of remarks. Thanks for contributing. Hauck 14:42, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
Science Fiction Thinking Machines
I'm holding your edit to Science Fiction Thinking Machines. As these have all been verified by active verifiers, they need to be consulted on the change. In addition to being good etiquette, we have found that it reduces errors (people thinking they have the same version of the pub, but ends up being a different printing). While the covers all show the hyphen, we base the recorded title on the title page and frequently there will be differences. I will notify the various verifiers and once there is a response, I will process the submission. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:00, 3 May 2018 (EDT)
