System's problem when titles are identical when auto-linking reviews
The first title "Nonliterary Influences on Science Fiction" must have been automatically linked to the essay's title record instead of the book itself here. Variant in title may have caused this. The system does this also when a SHORTFICTION title is duplicated as a novel or collection. Is there a way to make the system to look for the book title match before it looks for either ESSAY or SHORTFICTION titles? Mhhutchins 04:08, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
