If you check this site it states that UK barcodes are either 13 or 15 digits in length not 16.

Appears 1 Digit too short on displaying
eg TV Choice (England)[2015] 9 772044 733022 09

The 022 indicates 2015 year, 09 9th Week
It was 015 for 2014 and I cannot read the older ones for now!

Thanks for raising this. It seems that magazines sometimes have an extra 2 digits representing the issue number. I've extended the magazine barcode to support up to 15 digits now.

You will also find that some magazines have a UK and International barcode. Both Uncut and MojoOr are we still going to turn a blind eye to this and pretend that these magazines are UK only publications as we have done for years now?

nboldock wrote "There is really no harm in having it listed as UK." and I agree but where do we list the copies with an international barcode that is different to the UK barcode. Probably best if we had them both on the same page even if the international versions are listed as UK issues. There could be a need for having the facility to list multiple barcodes at the entry stage in cases such as this and we do do it some other cases such as this. but it would be nice to be able to do it without having to send a correction to the notes.

I'm fully aware Mojo and Uncut are UK magazines however they have not taken a consistent global approach to production and distribution and both magazines have at various times been published globally with the same barcode as the UK issue. This however is not always the case and both have both magazines sometimes have two distinctly different copies produced one for the UK and one for the rest of the world that have different barcodes and sometimes different covers.

I had a few of these lying around that I entered before they went to the tip but my problems arose when the data (barcodes) on the 45Worlds entry didn't match my edition of the magazines. It's not of much consequence really in the scheme of things but it is a real problem in terms of the fact that the data doesn't match in a lot of cases. All I know is that there are inconsistencies here on the publishing side of things.

Apologies for appearing to be being not "helpful". That has never been my intention but these are genuine problems I have come up against when listing these magazines.

The_Vinyl_Junkie, I'm fully aware of local barcodes being added to magazines here but that was not what I was really getting at. It is more this situation I was trying to to describe where the publisher manufactures two versions of the same issue that have two different barcodes one for the UK and one for the rest of the world. See link for clarification and see this link for an example of Uncut following the same practice.

The barcode field appears to only be displaying 13 digits again. I've just added the latest issue (289) of "Mojo" and am pretty sure I entered the extra 2 digits. To check I found another recent entry (Mojo 286) where I hadn't previously entered the barcode, definitely added all 15 digits, but only 13 appearing.

Can't remember if this got fixed last time around but the barcode field is definitely only displaying 13 digits again.
