Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ⸺(Random)staplers 20:29, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Question
Is it reasonable to say "Some publishers, such as Ballantine Books, would sometimes use 12-digit SBNs where the last three digits indicated the price of the book;" or should we say "would append the book price to the SBN, creating a 12 digit number". All the best: Rich Farmbrough 20:25, 3 October 2025 (UTC).
- I don't know, but either way I would change "would V" to "Ved". Largoplazo (talk) 20:59, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
- What is V? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:05, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- It's a placeholder for whatever verb is there. Largoplazo (talk) 11:35, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

Minor edit request
"Figuring out how to correctly separate a given ISBN is complicated." Change the informal "figuring out" to the formal "determining". More suitable encyclopaedic tone. Thanks. ~2026-27366-46 (talk) 13:36, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
- I was going to follow your suggestion but got confused and decided not to take care if it yet. If a publisher has been assigned a 4-digit number, leaving three digits for the title code, that publisher cannot publish more than 1,000 works without running out of unique codes?
