Welcome!

Hello, DavidKM, 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 21:10, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

"Just Deserts" = "Just Desserts"

Can you confirm that the story is titled "Just Desserts" as published in this publication? If so, please do a primary verification of the magazine's record. I'll also change the name of the artwork that accompanied the story. Thanks for contributing and welcome to the ISFDB. Thanks. Mhhutchins 21:16, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

underfoot

Your submission adding this pub was accepted. I had to make some changes to conform to ISFDB standards:

  • Changed the ISBN field from "1. 0-926935-60-7" to "0-926935-60-7"
  • Changed the price field from "$5" to "$5.00"

Also, please add the contents when you get a chance. After that, do a primary verification of the record if you have a copy of the book (see the link in the Welcome section above about verifying records.) BTW, if this is a second printing, do you have info on the first printing? If so, please wait until you've added the contents to this record, then use the Clone function to create the first printing. Thanks. Mhhutchins 22:08, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

the egg show

The submission adding this record was accepted, but I moved the URL of the publisher's webpage to the note field and linked it using HTML. The Image URL field should just be the URL of the image file, not a webpage, and it can only be linked to servers who have given us permission. You can always upload an image to the ISFDB server as well, using the "Upload Cover Scan" function from the book's ISFDB record page.
A question: you gave the title without capitalization, but the image on the publisher's page shows that the title uses regular capitalization. It is ISFDB standard to take the title from the title page of the book, not the cover, but will not any discrepancy. Is the stated title on the book's title page "the egg show"? Thanks.

Gods and Monsters

Hello, and thanks for adding this item! I had to change the title type to COLLECTION, the format to tp and the image link (which was set to a site we don't have allowance to link to), to meet our standards. I also added a few of the stories. You might want to add the rest. Thanks, Stonecreek 23:57, 19 September 2019 (EDT)

Pseudonyms

Thanks for providing the information about your pseudonym. However, I had to reject the update here because we represent that with variants. I had set them up now - see how it looks and let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Annie 14:33, 29 September 2019 (EDT)

PS: Would you mind using a "$0.40" for the price and not "$.40"? I know it is technically the same but we do full decimals as a policy. Thanks and thanks for updating those! Should all of the magazines have your name as a publisher? If so, I can give you a hand updating some of them later today. Annie 17:14, 29 September 2019 (EDT)
These latest updates are in the "Notes to moderators". This field is for the notes that do not need to be attached to the publication but are useful for the approving moderator or for someone who had verified the publication. The notes you are adding belong in the publication so I am moving them. You may want to add them to the correct Notes field going forward. :) Annie 17:34, 29 September 2019 (EDT)
