Currently working on tidying up WikiProject_Check_Wikipedia/ISBN_errors.

Useful resources

 * LOC ISBN formatting, only works reliably for English and some European geo-coded ISBNs. Format ISBN does more.
 * ISSN lookup: https://portal.issn.org/
 * Python utility for hyphenating ISBNs (updatable from official ISBN data source)
 * The code I use to fix up ISBNs and other bib IDs. Not perfect — I always manually review and touch up the changes it suggests.

Frequently used templates

 * ISBN for ISBNs.
 * ISBNT for bare ISBNs.
 * SBN for early 9-digit SBNs.
 * OCLC for OCLC numbers.
 * doi for digital object identifiers.
 * ISSN for ISSNs.
 * cite book Book citations.
 * cite journal Journal citations.
 * cite magazine Magazine citations.
 * cite web Web citations.
 * text Escape ISBNs in journal book review titles per Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Check_Wikipedia/ISBN_errors to avoid false matching by WPCleaner.
 * e.g.:
 * EAN 13 digit identifiers starting with  are magazines/serial EAN product codes. Potentially useful for comics? Some books do have region coded EANs (generally not encyclopedia quality... but there could be exceptions).
 * Verify source I'm finding many (closed access) journal book reviews used as refs for statements about a subject, which are suspicious. Shouldn't the book be cited directly? I suspect that some Wiki tools make these refs easier to find and auto-add than the book content. Books reviews make good refs for statements about a book or author, not necessarily about the book's subject. Book author is presumably more of an authority on topic X than the reviewer:
