Yes, when the Graduate School representative finds issue numbers where the
style manual says they should not be, he or she returns the thesis or
dissertation to the student for correction and may even send a note to the
committee asking them to be more careful.

Okay, in light of three votes in favor of including the issue number, I'm
more than happy to be that much less picky and let it go. Besides the two
comments on-list, I also got a good off-list argument, pointing out that
citation software (Endnotes) includes the issue number, and that getting rid
of it requires the user to edit it out of all of the database entries used.
Are there any good arguments for continuing to be picky about this and
requiring students to omit the issue number?
