Welcome!

Hello, PatConolly, 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 03:26, 5 February 2018 (EST)

Brother Coelestin

Hello, I had to tweak a lot your submission as you stumbled in one go on some of the most difficult parts of the ISFB. Based on my understanding of your notes:

• I've created a record for the Czech (?) original short fiction (this meant creating a whole magazine).
• Made the english title a variant of the original.
• Salvaged all the data you gave (or so I hope).
• Rejected your submission as the publication date for the english text record is the date of first appearance under this specific title/author/language combination so is likely to be, for the time being, the date of Serling's anthology publication.

The results are visible from here. I hope that I correctly translated into the db what you had in mind. Thanks for countributing. Hauck 03:40, 5 February 2018 (EST)

After your last round of submissions, I've tried to order all this. Have a look at the result to see if it's OK. The real questipn is in fact to know if the story was published in its original appearance (in Czech) as by "Jaroslav Vrchlický" or by another name. Hauck 06:26, 10 March 2018 (EST)

Lumir

Hello, I've salvaged what I could from your submissions. As Lumir is not a genre magazine, we do not individiually credit the editor, and there were quite a lot of diverse technical manipulations to arrive at this result. Hope it's what's you intended to achieve. Hauck 06:15, 11 March 2018 (EDT)

I've approved your latest update, changed syntax (you didn't use HTML) and alas, deleted number of pages as you indicate that the excerpt is on page 26 of a 16 pages magazine! Hauck 03:23, 12 March 2018 (EDT)

For some reason the "Edit" links were not showing when I previously looked at this page. I logged in again just now and see the links (but I'm an old person - maybe I just missed them). Anyway, there are magazines where the page numbering continues through issues until the next volume starts again. For example, Amazing Stories Quarterly, Fall 1928 is listed as having 144 pages, but the contents start with page 435. In the absence of a physical copy of the individual magazine, I'm inclined to go with the page numbers we see printed in the bound Volume. If you still wish to delete this page count, then you should also delete it from issue 3.
