Wikipedia talk:Google Books and Metadata Errors

This is a useful page. Can it be expanded to give advice as to how to use Google Books?
Not much more to add than that! But a walk-through of how the essay author moved from incorrect referencing to the correct references would be brilliant. --bodnotbod (talk) 14:24, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Names
"I have no idea how it came up with the name Shiruku Rōdo-gaku Kenkyū Sentā; perhaps he is the journal's editor?"

That's an English transliteration of a Japanese transliteration of "Research Center for Silk Roadology."


 * Senta = Center
 * Shiruku = Silk
 * Rodo = Road

"-gaku" is presumably "-ology", and "Kenkyu" "Research". DS (talk) 19:44, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
