Bad ISBN
editBecause it is causing a Checkwiki error #73: "ISBN-13 with wrong checksum", I removed the ISBN from the entry:
Demnor the Cursed Dragon ISBN 9781408329256 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum
I have tried unsuccessfully to locate the correct ISBN on the Internet. My research seems to indicate that "Maltor the Monster of Flame" and "Demnor the Cursed Dragon" don't even exist. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 10:06, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- List is available here. Unfortunately the article gets a lot of edits from people adding incorrect titles/incorrect isbn/as yet unpublished books. Keri (talk) 18:32, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, Keri: Your list substantiates exactly what I wrote above:
- Falra the Snow Phoenix The Cursed Dragon Book 82
- Wardok the Sky Terror Velmal's Revenge Book 83
- Hi, Keri: Your list substantiates exactly what I wrote above:
- Maltor the Monster of Flame and Demnor the Cursed Dragon do not exist according to your list.
- Because it is causing a Checkwiki error #73: "ISBN-13 with wrong checksum", I am now also removing the ISBN from the entry:
- Maltor the Monster of Flame ISBN 978-1-408-32924-3 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum
- Please do not restore these invalid ISBNs to the table in the article. They will continue to show up in a Checkwiki error listing, and I will have to come to this same article repeatedly to remove the bad ISBNs to fix the error. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 04:05, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- As you can see Knife-in-the-drawer, it's a fairly constant job removing the unpublished books, usually with invalid isbn's, that anon ip's add. Keri (talk) 09:20, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

- Hi, Keri: It's "your" article, and you're the expert, but I think you've deleted too many entries. Maltor the Monster of Flame and Demnor the Cursed Dragon should be deleted, but the books after Demnor were good. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 09:29, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- The isbn's were correct, but as far as I recall from checking them last week they are still unpublished. The anon adds planned books right through to 2017. Edit: Personally, I bloody hate the article and the books; my son read them years ago and I somehow ended up fixing up the articles. A thankless task :) Keri (talk) 09:34, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Keri: Well, I thank you. I ran this whole article through a special program. Found two ISBN-13 errors. Fixed them, and the program says that this article is now free of all errors. Hoorah! Next stop for me--"List of Dragon Ball characters"...it has 70+ ISBN errors. In one article!#@ Thanks again for helping to put this article in shape. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 08:43, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
