ISBN Problem

As best I can tell, the publisher is using an incorrect ISBN for the following work. This article is tagged at [1] and [2] as having an invalid ISBN. The article itself has ISBN 91-83006-22-7 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum saying the check digit should be 2. The latter link above has ISBN 91-861463-0-5 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum saying the check digit should be 0.

Nimûne Ji Gencîneya Çanda Qedexekirî (Samples of the Treasures of a Banned Culture), Sverige/Stockholm, 1991, 377 pages, ISBN ????

WorldCat lists an OCLC of 31608082. How about we go with that?

Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks! Keesiewonder 22:58, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I sympathize with the problem. When I Google search for this book, it leads through numerous Kurdish-language references, often quoted in Swedish text, and we are the *English* Wikipedia! If you have a workable OCLC that actually finds the book in libraries, I vote that we should use that. The funny thing is that a mainstream Swedish publisher would use a bad ISBN. I guess we can't do anything about that. EdJohnston 21:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that 'Sverige' is the Swedish name for Sweden. I don't think the cited book is published by a publisher called 'Sverige'. If you click on the OCLC reference, it leads to a Kurdish name for the publisher. If you go ahead and replace the ISBN with an OCLC number, I think you should change the publisher to match the one that is found by the OCLC reference.

Good point! I'll certainly do as you ask. And, Sverige is most certainly what the Swedes call their country. I know this from the stamp collecting part of my life. I think the original reference is just trying to say that the book was published in Stockholm, Sweeden. I don't actually see the original citation attempting to mention a publisher at all.
