Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

Hello, EVDiam. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!
Please note that all old questions are archived after 2-3 days of inactivity. Message added by Joseph2302 (talk) 15:13, 16 May 2015 (UTC). (You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{teahouse talkback}} template).[reply]

Rhea Galanaki article

I saw your work on this article. Since she has published so many works, it would be helpful to see ISBNs or OCLC numbers as links/references.

I use this book citation template heavily when I work on articles of authors:

Last Name, First Name (1900). Title. Publisher. ISBN 0522555599. OCLC XXXXXXXXX. {{cite book}}: Check |isbn= value: checksum (help); Check |oclc= value (help)

Just copy and delete out the prompts. ISBNs are either 10 or 13 digits with a check number. OCLC numbers vary in size. You can find out what the ISBN or OCLC number for a book title is by searching Worldcat.org.

I hope this helps a bit! TeriEmbrey (talk) 16:20, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @TeriEmbrey:. Thank you for the suggestion.

The isbn below cannot be active and I don't know why. Do you have any idea?

(2013). Συνταγές μέσα από τη λογοτεχνία. Δημοσιογραφικός Οργανισμός Λαμπράκη. ΙSBN 9789605034368

I am a new Wikipedian and I am learning so any other recommendation you might have or suggestions are more than welcome. Thank you! EVDiam (talk) 15:19, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Occassionally, you get a "bad" ISBN from a misprinting, etc. I wouldn't worry about it. You may find the right ISBN later. Good work on this article! TeriEmbrey (talk) 15:54, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Thanks. EVDiam (talk) 16:07, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
