=== VIII ===
Task: Check ISBN valid, if not label article.
Method: 
* Scan database download using custom perl code and check for invlid ISBNs that SB can't fix (length, checksum, character set). 
* Label automatically using AWB.<br />
* Check manually for timing differences. (I.E. ISBN corrected or removed between dump and bot run.)<br />
Speed: 1-8 per minute.<br />
Number: A dozen per month (estimated), plus backlog.<br />
Frequency: Approx every data dump. <br />
Duration: Less than an hour.<br />
Testing: Still under development.<br />

:Note the calculated check digit can be seen at [[User:Rich Farmbrough\Invalid ISBNs]]: there is no certain way of calculating which digits of the pseudo ISBN are incorrect.
:Also worth noting there are some 1,100 invalid check digits, so I would expect that the monthly crop of new errors will be 30-60 rather than a dozen.
