Welcome!
Hello, TheHermit, 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! Mhhutchins|talk 00:12, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
Graphic novels
Most graphic novels usually don't qualify for eligibility in the ISFDB database. There are comic book databases that can do much a better job with that genre than ours. The work must be written directly by an author who is considered "above the threshold", i.e. well-known within the speculative fiction genre, or the majority of whose work is text-based spec-fic. So I had to reject your submission to add a record for The Irregulars. (It also doesn't appear to be spec-fic.) Our rules of eligibility are given here. Mhhutchins|talk 00:12, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
Blondes in Trouble
I'm holding your submission to add a record for this anthology. It appears to be a collection of mystery stories. Are you certain that all of the stories are speculative fiction, i.e. science fiction, fantasy, or horror, and their various sub-genres? Mhhutchins|talk 00:15, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
