== Linking uploaded images to the database publication record ==

Thanks for uploading cover images to the ISFDB wiki. The next step is to link those images to the records of the books for which these are the covers.  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. Thanks for contributing. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 05:15, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

[http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Image:THBCNTNNLM1985.jpg This file] exceed the ISFDB posted standards. All cover image files must not be more than 150 kb in size and no more than 600 pixels tall. I will copy the file, reduce it from 688 to 600 pixels, and then re-upload it. Please keep these standards in mind when creating cover image files. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]] 04:17, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

== Exceeding file size limits on the ISFDB ==

You have uploaded a few files that exceed one or the two ISFDB standards: the file should be no taller than 600 pixels, and no larger than 150 kb. I will copy and resize those files, but will ask for your cooperation in following the stated standards for any future uploads.

Revision as of 13:40, 30 November 2013

Welcome!

Hello, Gerryjm, 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 18:44, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

I rejected the submission to add a record for Ace F-294. It's already in the database here. You attempted to create a new record for it under the wrong title: The Planet of Peril. Mhhutchins 18:46, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! Beginner error I guess. I will be more careful next time.
