VIII
Task: Check ISBN valid, if not label article. Method:
- Scan database download using custom perl code and check for invlid ISBNs that SB can't fix (length, checksum, character set).
- Label automatically using AWB.
- Check manually for timing differences. (I.E. ISBN corrected or removed between dump and bot run.)
Speed: 1-8 per minute.
Number: A dozen per month (estimated), plus backlog.
Frequency: Approx every data dump.
Duration: Less than an hour.
Testing: Still under development.

- C. 100 diffs here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=100&offset=20060823072327&target=SmackBot
- Note the calculated check digit can be seen at User:Rich Farmbrough\Invalid ISBNs: there is no certain way of calculating which digits of the pseudo ISBN are incorrect.
- Also worth noting there are some 1,100 invalid check digits, so I would expect that the monthly crop of new errors will be 30-60 rather than a dozen.
- Rich Farmbrough 09:12 23 August 2006 (GMT).
- Looks good, APPROVED. — xaosflux Talk 03:38, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
