Explanation for your ISBN troubles[edit]

Hello, I thought you might appreciate an explanation for what went wrong with the ISBN in your recent editstoRock festival. Basically, you had a typo: 9781494826800 when the actual book had 9781496826800. ISBNs have a check digit to detect typos; the error message you were getting didn't mean that the check digit itself was wrong, just that it was inconsistent with the rest of the ISBN. I've fixed this one for you, but in the future, that error just means you should double-check the entire ISBN for mistakes.

You also changed a few instances of <ref name="bla">...</ref> into <ref> name="bla">...</ref>. The first form is actually correct; name is an HTML-like attribute on the ref tag. See WP:REFNAME for more information. I've fixed these too.

Hopefully this is helpful for the future :) --Pokechu22 (talk) 20:51, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. I kept reading about check the number, and dont create a check digit yourself. The formatting is poor so after adding this reference, I will go back and get my editor program to format things into human readable form.
