re: lccn-no90-15706 - D-ro Esperanto and its language variants

Hi!

Just remembered the origin of the language name and verified
http://www.worldcat.org/identities/lccn-no90-15706

It lists:
D-ro Esperanto
Docteur Espéranto.
Docteur Espéranto 1859-1917
Doctor Esperanto
Doktoro Esperanto
Dr.Esperanto
Esperanto.
Espéranto docteur 1859-1917
Esperanto, Doktoro
Esperanto, Dr., 1859-1917

It is late night here. If community libraries will start to catalog theri books at LT these names will show up.

Thanks for any help!

P.S. 2012-04-19: adding some keywords: multilingualism, multilinguisme, plurilinguisme, plurlingvismo
and touchstones to already available author urls: esperanto
P.S.S. Sooner or later we may need some author division and aliasing to / combining with L. L. Zamenhof (1859–1917)

So? If they show up, we will combine them.

You are not proposing that we create the pages just so we can combine them on the off-chance that someone will use that exact spelling, right?

"The sooner the better.".

a) Let's see if it shows up from import from LT book sources.
b) starting with an "&searchtype=authorname" url as

I modified: &searchtype=authorname: Esperanto
to a more general work link for my bookmarks:
&searchtype=authorname: Esperanto Espéranto Eszperantó Эсперанто "D-ro" "Dr." doktoro docteur doctor
one can search for the individual cases as:
&searchtype=authorname: D-ro
&searchtype=authorname: Dr. — 21,324 results — might never load —
&searchtype=authorname: Espéranto
&searchtype=authorname: Eszperantó
&searchtype=authorname: Эсперанто

>3 gangleri: "&searchtype=authorname: Dr. — 21,324 results — might never load —"
One should open a RSI or bug report.

>3 gangleri: This group / some people of this group might be involved in tag combining.

&searchtype=tags: Esperanto needs some cleanup; it should be easy to identify some of the combination candidates; however I will search for help. Thanks for any time spend on this and other multilinguisme issues.

gangleri,

Give a list of valid authors in LT and we will combine them...

We cannot just go around and combine non-existing pages only because they might one day be valid.

There's not much point in chasing down names and tag combinations if nobody is actually using them. LibraryThing is a practical tool, not a theoretical list of all possible names for people.
