ISFDB talk:Data Consistency/Novel-Collection Mismatches

It might be noted that more than a few of these inconsistencies were caused by an omnibus being typed as a collection. Simply changing the type to "omnibus" would correct most of the inconsistencies. One problem that might arise is when a novel has been reprinted under the same title with one or two short stories as a bonus, thus making the new publication an omnibus. Some editors might insist that this should be considered a collection. All of this is based on my personal definition of an omnibus as any publication that contains at least one full length novel. And the help pages are somewhat ambiguous in its definition. Any comments? Mhhutchins 21:43, 11 Jan 2008 (CST)
