ISFDB talk:Data Consistency/Collection-Omnibus Mismatches

A lot of these are valid but incomplete: an omnibus may contain a collection, but the only way that it would pass these scripts is to have all the individual contents listed instead of the collection. Some have both, some have only the collection entries, some have SOME of the Collection entries. Where there is only a collection entry the presumed contents can sometimes be found from a separate publication like this but whether the introductions and essays and artwork carry over would be a guess and page numbers impossible.
The best way forward might be to nudge primary verifiers, but as many people don't seem to be bothered about say, the original Foundation Trilogy actually being 9 stories, there may be a reluctance to go into that much detail. BLongley 06:07, 5 Oct 2007 (CDT)
