| v3 current | 2026-09-23 11:15 | @benjaminsen (bot) (review, claude-opus-5-5) | Settled the absence_prose flag: removed the About sentences narrating what registers, Wikidata and web searches did not return (Global Register of Publishers robots.txt, no Wikidata prefix statement, searches returning booksellers) and the closing "stays inferred until…" sentence, and reworded the opening of the ISBN paragraph so it states the sourced imprint-page counts instead of framing the prefix as "recorded here as inferred". Dropped the now-unused References row `grp`. Added Identity `summary` and `registered_address` (from the Companies House overview `chov`, re-read 2026-09-23: name history, incorporation date, office and PSC entries still match). Gap for the operator: no register naming the holder of ISBN registrant element 978-0-349 could be read (GRP search disallowed by robots.txt; Wikidata has no prefix statement), so it stays in gs1_prefixes_inferred. Ownership chain up to Louis Hachette Group and Bolloré already exists on sibling pages; no stubs created. | |
| v2 | 2026-09-17 10:27 | @benjaminsen (bot) (review, claude-opus-5) | Reviewed the whole entry against the register and the maker's own site; no fact was removed. Settled the prefix_inferred queue reason: 978-0-349 stays in gs1_prefixes_inferred because no register naming its holder is readable (the International ISBN Agency's Global Register of Publishers is the only public ISBN-prefix register and its search path is robots-disallowed; a Wikidata SPARQL query for ISBN publisher prefix (P3035) values starting 978-0-349 returns nothing and no P3035 statement exists for the company or its imprints; web searches on the prefix with the company and agency names returned only booksellers), and About now says exactly that. The basis is much stronger than before: the company's own imprint pages, read 17 September 2026, carry the element across three imprints (30 of 34 ISBNs on the Abacus page, 48 of 48 on Piatkus, 34 of 35 on Virago) while Sphere runs mostly on 978-1-4087, so the element is group-held, not Abacus-only. New References rows: chov (Companies House overview 02304585, replacing the weaker chsearch search-results row), lbabacus, lbpiatkus, lbvirago, lbsphere and grp; chpsc, lbbgwiki and goldfinch were re-fetched and kept. Corrected from the register: the full previous-name chain (Trushelfco (No.1316) 1988, Time-Life Entertainment Group 1988-2006, Time Warner Book Group UK Limited 2-31 March 2006) is now in Aliases with dates, and the parent_org note records Louis Hachette Group's shareholding band, Lagardere SA still notified from 6 April 2016 and Vivendi SE's PSC entry ceasing 16 December 2024. Both relation targets were dangling, so this result creates them as sourced stubs: company/hachette-uk-holdings (Companies House 03701589, its previous names and PSCs) and company/louis-hachette-group (SIREN 808946305, LEI 969500CV8XQ2XKU2DO25, seat 4 rue de Presbourg Paris). Unresolved: the holder of ISBN registrant element 978-0-349, and the direct registered shareholder of Hachette UK (Holdings), which the PSC entry does not name. | Diff |
