ISBNs

Hello, Mikeblas. As an editor experienced in editing book articles, I'd like to ask you whether it is better to add the ISBN-10 or the ISBN-13 to the infoboxes of such articles. Thanks. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 08:31, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

The documentation recommends using the 13-digit number, if it's available. -- Mikeblas (talk) 14:55, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Walker Books and books project

Hi Mikeblas, just letting you know that i added Wikipedia:WikiProject Books to Talk:Walker Books because i checked what projects that slightly larger(!) publisher, Penguin Books has. I'm not really fussed either way.

Thanks for letting me know. I've removed the books project tag from that talk page, as well. Books doesn't cover publishers, which are companies. -- Mikeblas (talk) 16:06, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Literature Express

By inadvertently transcluding that userpage, you have mass mentioned a bunch of users that were linked on that userpage, including me. Just an FYI.—^cyberpower_Chat:Online 15:15, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Already fixed. Sorry for the ping :(. -- Mikeblas (talk) 15:18, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

No biggie. Just thought I would let you know.—^cyberpower_Chat:Online 15:32, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Heh, that's what I came here for as well. It was puzzling, couldn't figure it out at first; Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 16:21, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Into the River edits

You merged Into the river into Into the River. By not acknowledging the source of the content in the edit summary you were in breaking the creative commons license and breaching the copyright of the editors who contributed to the article. Always include the page name from which the text is coming in the edit summary. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:12, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi Stewart! Do you have a link to an explanation of this problem? -- Mikeblas (talk) 13:07, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

To add to the confusion, the history of the target article shows that Anthony Appleyard (talk · contribs) denied your request to perform a history merge because the articles have parallel history. Are you sure the prescriptive advice you're providing is always applicable? It's the first I've heard of this problem, and I'm having a hard time finding authoritative documentation of the issue. -- Mikeblas (talk) 13:20, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

The prescriptive advice I'm giving is based on the text of the message immediately above the save buttom (at least in my interface) it says 'By clicking the "Save page" button, you agree to the Terms of Use and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL with the understanding that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient for CC BY-SA 3.0 attribution.' You need to provide 'a hyperlink or URL is sufficient for CC BY-SA 3.0 attribution.' Stuartyeates (talk) 20:20, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

• Into the river and Into the River have not been history-merged. There may have been some partial copying-and-pasting and text-merging between them (not by me). See WP:Parallel history. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:29, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks...

...for your efforts at that highly promotional Red Giant Entertainment article. I would have thanked you with the automatic process, but there were too many good edits! --Tenebrae (talk) 18:28, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
