Hi, My name is Ed. Retired from the Navy and from aerospace engineering. I have been "dabbling" with the pages of book authors that I have in my home library collection. I use the Library of Congress, Abebooks, Amazon, publisher sites and anything else that comes to mind for correct information. I am a total novice at this but enjoy the clean-up and creation activity. In particular, I have been listing ISBN's for initial book releases. This information is important to book collectors in locating 1st editions. Software is available to load a large amount of data into a database with a simple hand scanner. So, I am trying to learn more about cataloging books. Spent a ton of time correcting "invalid ISBN's". Great experience in dealing with a wide range of subject matter.
One of the most common methods used by WikiProject contributors to monitor and prioritize their work is that of assessing the articles within their scope. The de facto standard for these assessments is the Version 1.0 Editorial Team'sassessment scale (shown below).
– The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been reviewed by impartial reviewers from this WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class.
– The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains much irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup.
