-Create editor-specific watchlists of verified publications. Original Wiki request:
+Create user-specific watch lists of publications. Any ISFDB user should be able to add a publication record to his or her watch list (or remove a publication from the watch list.) Every time a watched publication is updated, it will appear on the user's list of watched publication. The functionality should be similar to what we already have for primary verified publications.

+Original Wiki request:

 The only way to monitor a publication for changes is to verify it. However, if you are working on a specific language, series or authors, you may want to monitor changes even in the books you cannot technically verify. One option is to Transient verify it but I think that this is stretching the definition too much - either you have the complete book on your e-device or on your desk or it does not count. So how about adding a third verification/monitoring option that triggers the "publication changed" functionality but without being treated as a verification in any other way (adding a green checkmark in the verified column in lists or requiring a notification for bigger changes).
