Juniper (jooniperd) | 65 comments hello!

i am hoping someone can help with this:

author Jo Nesbø often has his name spelled incorrectly, using 'o' instead of 'ø' at the end of his surname, which results in extra entries for his books as well as a duplicate author profile.

misspelled: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

correct spelling: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

would it be possible to have someone merge the improperly spelled titles/profile into the correctly spelled entries?

thank you so much!

Dee (austhokie) | 897 comments as a side note - one of the problems with this is that the search engine does not always recognize names that don't have their diacretics typed in, if the official name does - ie. Ake Edwardson (which would be Åke Edwardson) nothing shows up when I search for his name (since there is no diacretic)
