Editorial Presença

Does anybody know what the story with this page is? Is this actually a person? Tried the Portuguese wikipedia page, and it looks like it might be a publishing house.

Editorial Presença

Here is the wiki page, translated.

So it's just a company who provides Portuguese translations of books. It needs to be removed from the books as an author and put in the publisher field instead. At least it's not put as the primary author on any works.

Thanks! What do we do with the author page?

Rivka said the other day that the PTB will be running script to get rid of blank authors soon.

[Hirondelle (not getting notifications)]

It´s a portuguese publisher, and if you notice it is listed as author only in the editor field. Now this might be a linguistic bug (in portuguese publisher and editor are the same word) but it might also refer to editing services provided by the publisher (keep in mind translations also get another editing service). I am not sure it is INCORRECT to have it listed as an editor.

I've seen this before and noticed that all the books with "Editorial Presença" as editor were added to Goodreads via Amazon.com, so I'm pretty sure it is a matter of confusion with the word "editor", that in portuguese, as Hirondelle says, means "publisher".

[Sandra]

Editors of English books are frequently put first, as we only use them if it is an anthology or non-fiction. English fiction books should never have an Editor listed.

So if these are fiction books the Editorial Presença should be moved to the Publisher spot and removed from the Author spot.

[Catie]

And someone should delete the Editorial Presença author page, correct?

[Kim]

No the author page should stay as it is for now
