Is there a way to correct mistakes in the description? In the record for A childhood on the move, the name is spelt Rene? where there should be an accent over the last e instead of a questions mark. It happens every time the name is used. Thank you

A childhood on the move

All you can do is go to the descriptions page and flag for font problems. The second one as well.

>2 MarthaJeanne: Heh, in that case I have a few hundred thousand Swedish descriptions to flag. Almost all of them have encoding problems. I've just accepted it for what it is.

The flagging really only helps if there is a better description that can move up to the top position.
