Welcome!

Hello, Wulf, 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!.--Dirk P Broer 04:12, 13 January 2019 (EST)

Alfred Hitchcock's Death Bag

Hello, I've put your submissions on hold and am afraid that it seems they're bound to get rejected: 1) we only list genre contents for non-genre publications (like this) or non-genre contents for above-the-threshold authors; 2) this is a primary verified publication, and grave changes like this would have requested an information of the verifier.

In a moderator note, you asked "The book's part of your site so why do you prefer to have it sitting there with just a fraction of it complete?". We are the Internet Speculative Fiction Database. Our database focus on speculative fiction (see our project policy). We make a limited exclusion for significant genre authors, but for the most part, we do not include non-genre works. For a mixed genre pubs, only the genre contents should generally be included. We do appreciate your attempt, but the ISFDB has some conventions that need learning. 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) 20:46, 5 February 2019 (EST)

Yes, please don't get frustrated. I'll reject the submissions. Stonecreek 03:24, 6 February 2019 (EST)

Also note that non-genre content can be listed in the publication note. That way, the information is there, but it isn't filling up the database with non-genre content. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 02:24, 30 March 2020 (EDT)

Great tales of the supernatural

Hi, I approved your submission and made it into Great tales of the supernatural. You can best import the titles from 'The mammoth book of thrillers, ghosts and mysteries' and afterwards remove those titles that not are in this one.--Dirk P Broer 08:32, 15 January 2020 (EST)

L. P. Hartley

I had to reject your edit to L. P. Hartley. If you wish to link to the author's specific IMDB page, you may resubmit with that (full) link. Linking to the IMDB main page isn't appropriate. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 20:09, 17 February 2020 (EST)

Elma B. Edwards

I've put your submission on hold for the moment. You indicated you had this anthology. Is yours the printing I linked, or is it a later printing? (I don't know if there are multiple printings)

If it is this edition, please;

1. Remove "The Phantom Coach" from the anthology's entry.
2. Edit the anthology entry to add "The Phantom Coach" again, but with the author as "Elma B. Edwards"
3. Use the "Make This Title a Variant" tool to variant that "The Phantom Coach" title (the one with "Elma B. Edwards" as the author) to this one.
4. Use the "Make/Remove Alternate Name" on the "Elma B. Edwards" author entry and enter "16355" in the Parent Record # field.

Please let me know if you have any questions. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 02:21, 30 March 2020 (EDT)

I have done the necessary steps - but please use this (your) talk page for means of communications, you just have to log in to use it. Stonecreek 06:08, 30 March 2020 (EDT)

Since Stonecreek has done this for you, I have rejected your submission. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:52, 30 March 2020 (EDT)

Horror in Paradise

Hello Wulf,

You mean This Book, right? Horror is tricky - stories of the supernatural are eligible; non-supernatural horror are not (aka "Vampires are in; a cannibal or a crazy man with a knife is out"). Had you read the anthology and can you separate the two types of stories?

• If yes, then you can add it with only these stories.
• If not, we can add just the stories we are absolutely sure are speculative and list the rest in the notes (so it is clear what is inside and if one day someone decides another story IS speculative, we have the data).

What do you think? If you would rather not create the contents but have the list of stories (or are willing to type it - complete or partial), you can also post it here and I will update the book as needed. PS: I had to reject this as being inside of an anthology does not make a story part of a series with this name. Annie 20:51, 7 May 2020 (EDT)
