Welcome!

Hello, Ppint.pinto, 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:

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!.--Dirk P Broer 15:37, 22 April 2019 (EDT)

The Rat Race

When data is not in the pub, the source of the data needs to be specified in the notes. This is especially true for pubs that have been primary verified. For your earlier Stowe covers, the artist name was on the cover. For this one, that is not the case so since our only source is the tikit.net website, it needs to be stated in the notes. In addition, since the name is not on the pub, we would enter it with the canonical name (which in this case is D. A. Stowe). I've rejected your edit and re-submitted based on the above. You can find the final at The Rat Race. We do appreciate you finding these. ISFDB has some conventions that need learning, but everything should be in the help links in the welcome message above. We hope you will continue to contribute. And please let us know if you have any questions (ISFDB:Help desk is a good resource for asking). -- JLaTondre (talk) 11:58, 15 September 2019 (EDT)

re: credits to cover artist, derek a. stowe; thanks

hi, j; thank-you for explaining the absence of signature on the cover art over-rules/takes priority over the statement by the artist on the website in question - and thanks even more for working out how to link to the correct part of the tikit.net website!

You are right here - something does look odd. Let me see what I can find out.

In the future, when you find things like that, you can post in The Community Portal -- that way more people can see it (as opposed to just the moderator who happen to catch your submission]. If you know how to fix it, a submission is fine. If not - a note is better :) Thanks for finding this problem :) Annie 23:22, 9 May 2020 (EDT)

anniemod|Annie: my apologies, both for taking so long to respond, and for quite possibly not replying in the right way: the right way to do something isn't necessarily as obvious to a "new bug" like myself, as it may be to long-time contributors - and to mods. and thank-you for pointing out the community_portal - i'd no idea of its existence, never mind what its purpose(s) might be. love, ppint.
