There a re a bunch if recent Russian registrations like the one below that contain a capital A in the name, but it is not from the ASCII table. The consequence is that searches in RAS ar not successful. 1) how could this pass by the name requirements 2) anything else one can do about it? -- Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!

To finalize the registration process, please click on the following address or paste it in your browser: http://authors.repec.org/confirm%21bf72a862 If you believe to have received this email by error, please ignore it. Note that registration with RePEc <http://repec.org/> will not grant you privileged access to password protected sites. The RePEc Author Service is a tool that allows authors in Economics and related fields to build a CV linking to their works in IDEAS, EconPapers and Socionet, and vice-versa. You will receive a monthly mailing about the popularity of your works on these services. We will also perform some citation analysis for you. We notice that you did not link to any works. There can be two reasons: 1) You registered only to get access to password protected online texts. Registering with the RePEc Author Service is useless for this, you need to register with the sites providing those texts, not RePEc. In such a case, there is no point in registering with RePEc. 2) You did not find any works of yours. This may be because the institutions where you publish do not yet participate in RePEc. Encourage them to do so. See <http://repec.org/>. Or is it that your name may appear with different spellings? In that case, you can confirm now, login and add alternative name spellings to your name variations before performing a new search.

1) how could this pass by the name requirements
I've looked at this briefly. The english name in this record has only ASCII characters, as required and enforced by the checking. The full name has only cyrillic characters. The last name component has a cyrillic letter at the start, and then the latin letters. This is silly, but hardly dangerous. Are you saying there are many records like this?
2) anything else one can do about it?
We could index the English name for this to show up in search results. We could also ask them to fix it. We could notice this kind of thing on input (on registration), and complain. But it would be an ad-hoc check for this specific error: mix of cyrillic & english. -ivan

I understand. One consequence is that they do not find their research, and for sure wonder why.

How do you know? I've checked these ones and I don't see a cyrillic letter in their name: Arslanov, Vasily Artem'eva, Lidiya Baranenkova, Taisiya Baranov, Eduard -i

Very low tech answer: when I get the confirmation email and read it using putty using a windows machine, the name appears with an illegible blurb for all capital A's. And in those cases, the search does not find there works, even though they got the right name variations (except for that letter). Try with Аnatolij Ivanovich Аrkhipov. A manual search for A. Arkhipov (as cut-and-pasted form the name variations) yields no result. When I type A. Arkhipov myself, there are 7 results, including 3 with the exact name variation...

The Arkhipov case is clear -- that's the one you've pointed to in the original case (by forwarding the confirmation mail). You seem to have claimed all of the registrations at http://edirc.repec.org/data/derasru.html have the same problem. I ask: how do you know that all of them have it? Because I checked some and found no problem. Maybe there's just 5 or 7 of them and, then, is it worth bothering? Anyway, a check for combining cyrillic & latin letters can be done, and I can do it after the already agreed upon items under a separate statement of work. -i

Well, I noticed it for all capital A for authors of that institute. Somebody must be registering them.

I have no further budget for this.
