The Day That Went Missing

Sorry for putting this in the wrong section before. My computer is in the shop and I am having trouble editing on my phone. Why did you change the name of the article and move it? Lilipo25 (talk) 02:54, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

• @Lilipo25: I moved the page because there's no other work that shares the title "The Day That Went Missing", so there's no need to add the book's subtitle to the article's title. see WP:BOOKS. I grieve in stereo (talk) 18:00, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Ducks, Newburyport

On 14 September 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ducks, Newburyport, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the novel Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann uses stream of consciousness narrative and mostly consists of a single sentence running over more than 1,000 pages? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ducks, Newburyport. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Ducks, Newburyport), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

OCLC usage on Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom

Hi, I grieve in stereo. I think your removal of the OCLC number is most unfortunate. I will have to review the discussion that led to the documentation note that an OCLC number is only to be used in the absence of an ISBN. If I cannot find a sufficient reason, I will change the template documentation.

Consider:

• The OCLC that your removed led to a catalog record that lists several sources of ebooks & a free preview. ISBNs rarely do this, unless they are specifically for an ebook.
• Each OCLC catalog record usally contains a link to out editions or formats. Not so for an ISBN, which drives readers to a single edition. This is truly a diservice when an ISBN is for a reprint.
• Most people, when they get an ISBN, think of going to Amazon to get a book. Most libraries are free, & align with Wikipedia's purpose of freely providing knowledge. As Jimmy Wales put it: Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.

Please be mindful of this, & click on through to see the value of OCLC & other links before you remove them. Also remember WP:5P5.

Peaceray (talk) 05:27, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your message, @Peaceray: I appreciate your thoughts on this matter and your effort to make the Wiki experience better for its readers. I understand WP:5P5 but the template's guidance is worded in a way that gave me the impression that the OCLC parameter is redundant to the ISBN. I hope the infobox template can be fixed to reflect otherwise. I will remember to include and not remove OCLC in the future. Thank you. I grieve in stereo (talk) 06:08, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
