Suppressing magic link

I asked about stopping the bot from changing the example ISBNs at meta:User talk:Magic links bot#Suppressing link. GrindtXX has had to revert the bot twice. Johnuniq (talk) 22:53, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Recognition generated

What does "ISBN configuration of recognition was generated in 1967 in the United Kingdom by David Whitaker" mean?203.80.61.102 (talk) 19:36, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Pattern for English language ISBNs

This table is wrong. The English registration group does not have a simple monotonically increasing set of registrants, unlike the Chinese and Japanese registration groups. The English group jumps about – 978-0: 00-19, 200-227, 2280-2289, 229-638, 6390-6398, 6399000-6399999, 640-647, 6480000-6489999, 649-654, 6550-6559, 656-699, 7000-8499, 85000-89999, 900000-949999, 9500000-9999999; 978-1: 00-09, 100-399, 4000-5499, 55000-73199, 7320000-7399999, 74000-77499, 7750000-7753999, 77540-86979, 869800-972999, 9730-9877, 987800-998999, 9990000-9999999 (as of Sep 2017).

References

As the two English regions have different registrant patterns, it may be simplest to change the example to the Chinese or Japanese registration groups. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.7.33.6 (talk) 13:40, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 9 October 2017

The book cited in footnote 6, supposedly by Yaron Svoray and Lawrence Malkin, was never published, so I don't know how you can footnote it. Has anyone actually reada book that does not exist?

@SparklingPessimist: The post was clearly about a footnote, almost certainly in an article, so {{subst:ESp|xy}} was not appropriate - {{subst:ESp|mis}} would have been far better:
