Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments I just found this book:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/edits/2...
whose title was updated 41 minutes ago like so:
open library updated the book Bone 08 - O Matador de Dragões by Jeff Smith
title: 'Bone: o Matador de Dragões - 8' to 'Bone'


I assume that this is another of the big imports which is feeding us non-Amazon data? Can someone check to make sure it's pulling subtitle information correctly? If it means the "open library" I think it does, the correct title should be there:

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Something very similar just happened to this book:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28...
with the source "worldcat".
http://www.worldcat.org/title/bone-7-...

worldcat updated the book Bone by Jeff Smith
title: 'Bone, Bd.7, Phoney, der Drachentöter' to 'Bone'


Please, please, it's wiping out the graphic novels!

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) I stopped it.


I'm not sure what the issue here was, i didn't expect it change that title.

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) Ok, i was ignoring subtitles. I fixed it so it wasn't.

I'll restart this importer now. Thanks for the heads up!!!

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Whew! Thanks, Michael. I'm glad you sorted this out!

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) I think rerunning it this time will fix any of those subtitles it clobbered.


Elizabeth (Alaska) Glad to know open library is running; that's a place I found in looking to do fixes.
