ISBN conversion programs

Hello Misterbisson, the thing that might be interesting is a program that is provided in source form that is as *complete* as is converterpub.asp in the sense of enforcing the full ISBN spec. The one you submitted was not (so far as I can tell) in source form, and it doesn't even verify the checksum on the ISBN-10 that you give it. (It doesn't complain if you fiddle with the last digit). Unfortunately the *complete* ISBN verifier and converter would be somewhat large, because the complete list of publisher codes would be in it. Any ISBN that contains a bad publisher code is invalid, and if we found such a code used in Wikipedia, we would mark it as bad. For instance, nearly all ISBNs that begin with 6 are invalid.

Anything that Wikipedia would point its users to as a web service for ISBN conversion would probably need to be bullet-proofed and be backed up by a major institution such as isbn.org that is in effect a standards organization. Your private web site is not likely to be perceived to be credible enough for that use.

The recent problem with Wikipedia's ISBN page is that it has a large section for external links, and everybody in the world has been dropping their favorite link in there. It may be necessary to refactor the page so that it doesn't present such a tempting target. EdJohnston 19:37, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Google economy

The article Google economy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article is essentially a copy of the PageRank article, but with a different name. Furthermore, there are few, if any, sources that confirm the term "Google Economy" actually means what the article says.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Parent5446 ☯ ^{(msg email)} 01:13, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Curb Safe Charmer was:
