Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Help or drop me a line. BTW, thanks for starting the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas article -- that's one of me favorite movies. Cheers! --maveric149 Howdy. I noticed you've updated some sci-fi novels with ISBN numbers, but I think you've been misled (in just the same way I was) by Amazon. If one searches for a book there, they sometimes show its ASIN, rather than its ISBN. The ASIN works only on amazon, where the ISBN works there and at all the other vendors. So, for Consider Phlebas, amazon gives an ASIN of 1857231384, and BN gives an ISBN of 0553292811. Consequently the ISBN link you added there only works on amazon, not on BN and other bookstores. You also did The Golden Age, but that's a genuine ISBN, so it works okay. I eventually stopped using amazon as an ISBN source altogether, for just this reason. -- Finlay McWalter 13:45, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Hmmm... I actually pulled ISBNs out of the books, since I only filled in the numbers of what was on my desk :-) But thanks for the hint. - Luke

Wikimedia Canada
Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 14:45, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
