I'm holding the submission to change the birthdate and add further data for the author {{A|Michael Bailey}}. It seems that there are at least two authors with this name, because it's impossible for an author born in 1979 to have a story published in 1964. If you are the author, or know him, please tell us which titles are by the author born in 1979. We can create a disambiguated author name that will separate the titles to the correct author.

Welcome!
Hello, Nettirw, 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 04:07, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Michael Bailey
I'm holding the submission to change the birthdate and add further data for the author Michael Bailey. It seems that there are at least two authors with this name, because it's impossible for an author born in 1979 to have a story published in 1964. If you are the author, or know him, please tell us which titles are by the author born in 1979. We can create a disambiguated author name that will separate the titles to the correct author.

Submission details
Hi. A couple of minor submission comments for you:
- Amazon embeds sizing/formatting information in its image URLs. That information can lead to white boxes and other undesirable display artifacts within the ISFDB. When working with those, remove everything between the last two periods, and one of the periods. So, for example, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51fm6anxfqL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg should be entered as https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51fm6anxfqL.jpg.
- Be sure to include currency on prices. E.g., $10.95 instead of 10.95
As I said, just minor things. Thanks, and thank you for contributing. --MartyD 02:17, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
