Jorge (jsalgueiro) | 68 comments Hi

These two authors are the same:

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

GR accepts extended characters like 'é' in the primary author field, but not in the additional author field, it seems.

Cheers,
Jorge

Jorge (jsalgueiro) | 68 comments Thanks for the correction.

GR does accept extended characters in the additional author field, my mistake. I just added a "Maria José Figueiredo" as translator to another book without a hitch. Don't know what happened with "José Ribeiro Ferreira"...

Cheers,
Jorge

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Seems fixed to me. Just as an aside, not had a problem adding the é to non-primary authors :)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments You've just given me a fun project for a too hot Saturday afternoon - matching é and no é Joses ;)

(Yes I'm sad :P)

Jorge (jsalgueiro) | 68 comments It is fixed and it's not a problem. I get confused at times :)

Jorge (jsalgueiro) | 68 comments As long as you're having fun :)

I woke up today with a firm resolve to scan and add to GR an entire shelf of books in Portuguese. After adding maybe five in say two hours it dawned on me that it will take maybe a little bit longer than I expected. I'm trying not to think about all the other unsorted shelves... :p

But whatever keeps me busy has to be good. Right? :)

Cheers,
Jorge
