thread_title: Discussion

message: The main regex is this statement... I know it is long and unwieldly, but it runs just fine for my purposes. Also, I have a fully commented version of this on my computer, so making adjustments to this will take no time at all.
 (\|\s*[Nn]ame\s*=\s*\w)|(\|\s*[Aa]uthor\s*=[\s\[\{]*\w)|
 (\|\s*[Pp]ublisher\s*=[\s\[\{]*\w)|(\|\s*[Rr]elease[\s_]date\s*=[\s\[\{]*\w)|
 (\|\s*[Gg]enre\s*=[\s\[\{]*\w)|(\|\s*[Cc]ountry\s*=[\s\[\{]*\w)|
 (\|\s*[Ll]anguage\s*=[\s\[\{]*\w)|(\|\s*[Ii]sbn\s*=[\s\[\{]*\w)
Basically it looks for the following:
*Feel free to suggest adding or removing items.
# "name" 
# "author" 
# "publisher" 
# "release date" 
# "genre"
# "country"
# "language"
# "isbn"

thread_title:  To do list 

message: The list got rid of problems with having articles from other "non-mainspace" locations such as 'User:' 'Wikipedia' 'User talk:' 'Talk:' ect. Please continue racking up the false hits. I really do try to fix them!!! 
Current todo... get this list sorted alphabetically (can't spell it... but you know what I mean :) and please forgive my bad spelling...)
Please note... all users of this list I will be gone for One (1) week I will be back next sunday (16 July 2006) I am sorry! Eagle talk 05:09, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ok, I regenerated a second list... 

message: Does anyone mind if make up a sort of rainy day list?
I believe that we're looking for 1st edition information on these books and few of them are going to take longer than others to finish due to how old they are or the fact that the 1st edition was in a foriegn language. LOC and the British Library are excellent sources but they don't have everything. Germany doesn't have an English translation yet and India's Library catalog isn't even on-line (at least not that I could find). So 1st editions that these places may have could take longer to get the details out of.
I think this could really help clean-up at least the top part of the list and I know there are going to more.
