Adding these doesn't add a lot of bibliographical detail but having the contents list in order makes it easier for people to spot a missing or additional story: in this case just add the page numbers and don't worry that you're messing about with a "Verified" publication.<br></ins></div></td></tr>

So if you add a different publication because you're not confident that the existing publication record is right, you can still add your doubts as a note on the original publication: e.g. "my publication <give details or a link> appears to be a first edition but disagrees with the first publication date on THIS record".</ins></div></td></tr>
