Okay, Damrosch has been added to the database.

That is great! - - - But I still can't submit. When I try it on Safari, I get a blank screen; when I try it on Chrome, I get "error 500."

Did you check out items 2 and 3 in the first post?

Do you have any stray spaces in number fields, or any other non-numeric characters?

EDIT: If there are no stray spaces or non-numeric characters in number fields, and if there are no non-alphanumeric characters in the author fields other than spaces, then post the information for the project here, and we'll generate it for you.

Hello! Error 500, multiple times.

I've used the Generator in the past, without issues. I believe that the first thing to try is to add the author:

full name (very long): José Joaquín Eugenio Fernández de Lizardi Gutiérrez
last names: Fernández de Lizardi Gutiérrez
first names: José Joaquín Eugenio
bio (EN): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Joaqu%C3%ADn_Fern%C3%A1ndez_de_Lizardi
bio (ES): https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Joaqu%C3%ADn_Eugenio_Fern%C3%A1ndez_de_Lizardi_Guti%C3%A9rrez
birth/death: 1776/1827

I've ensured that my Tags and Summary have no special characters. Please let me know if something else is needed before I attempt again.

Thanks! Mario.

I was trying to generate a project with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Palmer_(biographer) as the author and got Error 500.

I have an error 500 when I try to generate a new project.
Would someone please add Juli Vallmitjana to the authors list?
Here's his wiki page (in catalan): https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juli_Vallmitjana_i_Colomines
Born 1873, died 1937.

I'm hoping to record La Xava, published in 1910.
wiki (catalan): https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Xava

Thanks in advance!

Could someone add W. W. Davies for me? I don't have dates for him but according to this link, he was "professor at Ohio Wesleyan University from 1883-1922, taught German, Hebrew, and "Modern" Languages." The generator didn't like my lack of dates.

Can this link help to his life dates? https://cdm15963.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15963coll29/id/7937
I will add him to the autors.
