Welcome!

Hello, Gengelcox, 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! --MartyD 01:02, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Collected Fiction Volume 2: 1926-1930: A Variorum Edition

I accepted the addition of Collected Fiction Volume 2: 1926-1930: A Variorum Edition. To answer your question in the moderator notes, yes, since it contains a novel it should be an omnibus. I have made that change. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 18:00, 4 August 2018 (EDT)

Thank you! I'm still learning how to contribute, so glad to know I'm understanding some of the terminology. -- Gengelcox 01:52, 5 August 2018 (EDT)

Such as It Is

Hi, we reserve NONFICTION to booklength publications (monographs, essay collections / anthologies etc.), so I accepted your submission but changed the title type to ESSAY (shorter pieces of nonfictional type). But thanks for the correction, Stonecreek 13:16, 10 November 2019 (EST)

Thanks -- I'll try to remember that distinction. Gengelcox 13:34, 10 November 2019 (EST)

Event Horizon (online)

I'm looking to add all the information for the short lived webzine produced by Ellen Datlow and Rob Killheffer in the late 1990s. I just tried to add Cadigan's novella with the long title beginning "The Final Remake..." and I'm not sure I've got how to connect it to the overall publication series, so I'm going to wait for a moderator to let me know what I've done wrong. -- Gengelcox 21:08, 4 February 2020 (EST)

Hi. I think you're referring to a different submission, but I just handled the one for the September issue and had a minor comment. The submission was fine, but for magazines we use a Title Series, not a Publication Series. So I moved that. Then I saw we already have a couple of other issues and have combined them under a single 1998 title record, so I merged it into that as well. The final result is here. --MartyD 07:19, 5 February 2020 (EST)

Thanks, Marty -- that's the help I was looking for, as I knew that something wasn't quite right when I was creating the record. --Gengelcox 09:59, 5 February 2020 (EST)
