Welcome!

Hello, DanQuigley, 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
• Field-by-field guide to entering new publications into the database
• 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! -- JLaTondre (talk) 09:15, 29 December 2017 (EST)

The Thrill Book, May 15, 1919

Your edit to The Thrill Book, May 15, 1919 has been approved. However, a couple of issues needed to be cleaned up. The NONFICTION type should only be used for books. When there is a nonfiction in another type of publication, it is entered as the ESSAY type. However, in this case, both of these essays seem like non-genre content so I have removed them vs. corrected them. In many mixed genre magazines, we only list the genre content. Are the remaining stories all genre?

We do appreciate your submission. ISFDB has some conventions that need learning, but everything should be in the help links in the welcome message above. We hope you will continue to contribute. And please let us know if you have any questions (ISFDB:Help desk is a good resource for asking). -- JLaTondre (talk) 09:15, 29 December 2017 (EST)

Winthrop's Adventure

Hello,

If we change the name of the story as you proposed, it will change it inside of every publication that carries it - and the verified books definitely do not have the longer name. So we have two choices:

• Create an empty parent -- if we plan to add a book that contains the original name, that is a good idea.
• Do what I did and just add a note.

If you are going to be adding a book, let me know and I can create the parent. Thanks for the understanding. Annie 22:39, 14 October 2019 (EDT)

Appletons' Journal, April 1881

If I approve this change, it will put the Bellamy story in a 1881 issue - which is not what you wanted to do I assume. If you let me know the name of the story, I can add it for you (or I can give you a step by step on how to add a magazine issue yourself. Let me know. Annie 22:20, 16 October 2019 (EDT)

Posted a response on my page - you can answer here or there :) Annie 18:31, 17 October 2019 (EDT)

Approved and I did a few small changes:

• Added the title series to connect the magazine (this could have been done on the fist submission as well)
• Marked is as non-genre
• Got the Editor record name updated (this is always a second step post approval)
• Connected the story to its later iteration. Even if it is the first publication, its other name is used almost exclusively since so the variant goes in the opposite direction to what is usually the case.

The result is here. Let me know if you have any questions :) Annie 10:25, 22 October 2019 (EDT)
