Over half my catalog is devoid of LT provided Dewey Decimal numbers (and upon looking at the Wikipedia list, many numbers are just plain wrong), so this list isn't quite complete. Filling in all those blank data fields will be another entry in my long list of LibraryThing projects.

649 Child rearing & home care of sick
It Works for Us920 Biography, genealogy, insignia
Priscilla, Elvis, and Me-----------------------------------------
Total: 84

The LT numbers are wrong? That's really not good.... are you checking all of them elsewhere or just the ones that seem strange?
I found that touchstones were actually being pretty good about reloading quickly. I just left out any touchstones that weren't automatically right so that I wouldn't have to look through the list of others every time.
(I hope you don't mind me posting here.)
I only left out obviously wonky numbers, like a few of my maps coming up in the 000s while other maps were correctly classified in the 900s. And please feel free to post here, talking to myself all the time does get tedious. ;)
Oh good, for a while you had me thinking I needed to check every number. And I even started, but it was so uninteresting that I only did one. The fun part was that my list was the first thing that came up in the search :)
