Welcome!

Hello, Mercurywoodrose, 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
• Help:Getting Started
• What the ISFDB Wiki is for
• ISFDB FAQ
• Help:Screen:EditPub#General contents - Warning and a note on how to update a publication's contents
• Wiki editing help - Tips on how to use the wiki-specific features when editing wiki pages.

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 05:27, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Nightmares and Geezenstacks

I accepted the submission updating this pub but had to revert the cover artist credit back to Hieronymus Bosch. Adding "/unknown" to the end of the field creates a new artist by the name of "Hieronymous Bosch/unknown". That's how entry fields for databases work. Because the artist who adapted the cover is unknown there is no way to credit him than to mention it in the notes (as you did). If he were known, upon editing the publication, you can add another cover artist by clicking the button which will open another field. Remember each field is for only one person (or title, publisher, date, etc.) If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to use the links in the welcome above. If you want to respond specifically to this, click the [edit] button to the right, and add your comment below this one, using a colon before your first line to indicate a new comment. And don't forget to sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~) which will automatically sign and date them. Thanks and welcome to the ISFDB. MHHutchins 05:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Understood, and thanks for the welcome. I've worked with databases before, and while i didnt realize this was the case here, i understand the principle.Mercurywoodrose 16:47, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Slater’s Planet

I approved the addition of Slater’s Planet but changed the binding from "mass market paperback" to "pb" per Template:PublicationFields:PubFormat, inserted a "#" in front of the P026-N per Template:PublicationFields:ISBN, changed the price from ".95" to "$0.95" per Template:PublicationFields:Price. You may want to review Help:Screen:EditPub, and deleted "uncredited" for the artist per Template:PublicationFields:Artist. There is an easier to assimilate version of the publication entry help under Help:Getting Started.

If you are entering this record from a secondary source rather than the publication itself then please note that. I'm assuming you have a copy and so added a note that the cover artist is not credited. I found a cover image on Amazon and so added that to the record. --Marc Kupper|talk 19:52, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Grendel

You give both Murray Tinkelman and Emil Antonucci in the cover artist field of this pub, but note that the cover is by Tinkelman and the interior art is by Antonucci. If this is true, only Tinkelman's name should be in the cover artist field. Mhhutchins 18:44, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
