Author Updates

I rejected your submission to update this author's data because it didn't follow the ISFDB entry guidelines. Nevertheless, I took the information you provided and entered it using the correct format. When entering dates use the following format: YYYY-MM-DD, so August 24, 1954 would be entered as 1954-08-24. When entering legal names use this format: Lastname, Firstname Middlename (or Initial.) Thanks and welcome to the ISFDB. MHHutchins 13:58, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Bio:Diane Turnshek‎

You recently created a page Bio:Diane Turnshek‎ which appears to be a biography of an author or artist. Please note that on the Help:Contents/Purpose page, editors are advised that:

"The ISFDB Wiki is not a place to record author biographies. It's harmless to add biographical information to these pages, but it may be deleted by editors who work on the bibliographies of those authors. Wikipedia is an excellent place for biographies of sf authors, and the ISFDB has a facility for adding a link to the Wikipedia article for each author."

While there are a few cases where we do use the Author: or better the Bio: pages to record biographical information, these are mostly authors long dead who do not now have and are not likely to have a Wikipedia article, but ones we have a significant body of work indexed. I hope this information is helpful.

Thank you for your contributions to the ISFDB. -DES Talk 19:04, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
