Welcome!

Hello, Settdigger, 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! Mhhutchins 15:11, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Your recent submissions

I've accepted the submissions adding new records to the database but have made changes based on the current ISFDB entry standards. You will find those standards in this field-by-field guide of this help page. Please take some time to look over that page and use it for any future submissions. It would also be good to look over the records for the publications you added to see the changes I made. Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins 15:14, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Conquistador of the Night Lands

Re this record: I changed the price field to indicate the decimals per ISFDB standards, and I removed the link to the cover image hosted by a non-permitting website. You have the option to upload the image file to the ISFDB server and then linking the record to it. Mhhutchins|talk 02:53, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Poems from the War

I changed this publication from a CHAPBOOK to a COLLECTION per ISFDB standards (which you'll find linked in the Welcome section above.) I also added the publication date given by Amazon, removed the cover image link to a non-permitting host, replacing it with a link to the image file on Amazon.

Last Freedom

The following changes were made to [ this record]:

  • Removed the link to a cover image hosted by a non-permitting website, replaced it with the image on Amazon.com
  • Specified the publication date as 2015-02-02, based on the Amazon listing.
  • Changed the format/binding from "unknown" to "tp"

Please take some time to look over this help page which is a field-by-field guide to entering and updating publication records on the ISFDB. Thanks. Mhhutchins|talk 03:07, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Colonel Stierlitz and City, Psychonaut covers

Hi. I accepted your addition of Colonel Sterlitz, but I changed the cover URL. We do not have permission to link to the robindunn.com site, so I found the image on Amazon. See ISFDB:Image linking permissions for more details. I also noticed that the binding was left "unknown", and the information on Amazon suggests it is trade (oversized) paperback. So I switched it to that -- please change it if that's not correct. Thanks. --MartyD 03:08, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

There was the same problem with the cover for City, Psychonaut. This one doesn't exist yet on Amazon. If you'd like, you can download the cover image from the source you provided (http://robindunn.com/psychonaut.jpg) and upload it to our server (go to the publication record and use the "Upload Cover Scan" link to get the appropriate template; then change the notes about the source to indicate it came from the publisher's website), then edit the publication to use that uploaded image as the cover URL. It's a little complicated, so if you need some help, just ask. --MartyD 03:20, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
