What a coincidence - I was just today pondering how it was that many of
the books in my librarything collection seem not to be referenced by WP
articles, even some of those to which I personally added the reference.
Not necessarily vandalism though, one thing we learn quickly from
librarything is just how many dozens of ISBNs can be associated with a
particular work...
An interesting future possibility is to provide a route for article
checkers to get in touch with people who actually own the book being
referenced.
