Welcome!

Hello, Jrj9, 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! Hauck 10:19, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

Terraform, 15 October 2015

Hello, I've approved your submission but had to make some changes to conform to our standards:

• set the title series simply to "Terraform" (I've set the "Terraform - 2015" as title as issues are grouped by year).
• deleted cover artist (it's quite meaningless for a website), and changed the record to an INTERIORART one illustrating the (your?) story.

The result is here. Thanks for contributing.

Thanks for the updates; I copied the details from a similar Terraform page but will follow these conventions in future.Jrj9 10:54, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

Andromeda Spaceways Magazine, Issue #66

Hello, I've approved your submission but had to make some changes to conform to our standards;

• reverted publisher to the existing regularized (by us) form "Andromeda Spaceways Publishing Co-op".
• deleted number of pages (this information is meaningless for an ebook) and all page numbers that I've replaced by our ordering system.
• disambiguated the From the Editor essay.
• varianted the poem by Child to canonical author.

The result is here. Note that there is one review that is not linked to anything. You'll have to either enter the corresponding publication (if eligible) in the db and link the review to it or change the record into an ESSAY. Hauck 10:43, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

Added the missing review link, thanks. Jrj9 11:14, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

In fact no (it's not automatically linked and the CHAPBOOK record needed to be corrected). I've done this for you. Hauck 11:21, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

Mad Scientist Journal, Summer 2015

Hello, I've approved your submission but had to make some changes:

• put the title in its proper title series in order to have it appear in the grid.
• merged Walker's text with existing occurrence.
• can you confirm the $6.68 price?

The result is here. Note that, as you own a copy of the magazine, you can become one of its "Primary verifier" and that it's customary to enter all the texts in the issue and not just a selection. Hauck 10:58, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

Thanks, I'm not quite up on series editing yet. The price is odd but listed as of today. I do have a copy of the magazine and planned to enter the full ToC, but as it's extensive I'll have to pick that up later. Jrj9 11:19, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

Be reassured, he entry of magazines is one of the tasks where the learning curve is the steepest. Hauck 11:23, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

ToC updated for this record, although I wasn't 100% on the copyright dates (the publication is 2015, but reprints were listed wit their original dates of publication). Appreciate the hand-holding! Jrj9 13:58, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

Mad Scientist Journal, Summer 2015

Hello,

Accepted your update but had a few changes to make:

• You had a stray " at the end of one of the story titles
• A couple of capitalization issues: "for" and "the" are never capitalized unless if they are at the start of a sentence. Annie 16:29, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

I must have missed the quote during my copy/paste marathon. Also, I copied the titles from the file and didn't think to check capitalization. Thanks, Annie!
