Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments Two profiles, one with Arabic script, the other with Latin script:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Is this as it should be?

Also, the Latin spelling of his name. "Sayed Qutb" seems non-standard to me. Even the url to this page has the standard spelling in Latin script. See e.g. his Wikipedia article or look at the front covers of the English translations of his most popular book.

(And talking about popular, this book shows up on page 4 of the listing of all works by popularity! What's with that?)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments All editions should have the latin name first, sorting that out, once that is fixed, will review latin name convention


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments I'm sorry, could you rephrase that? I didn't get what you mean.

lethe | 16363 comments All editions should have the Latin name first. Paula is/was busy correcting that. Once that has/had been done, Paula will look at which Latin spelling is correct.


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments Thanks! I'll check back in a while if I don't hear something in this thread.
