Eric Williams | 53 comments I tried adding the following quote but it didn't "go through"; I keep getting an error message that doesn't actually explain what the problem is. I also ran into the same problem with adding a quote for The Maps of Gettysburg by Bradly M. Gottfried. Can anyone think of what is causing this problem?

"The doctor finished his work, and the staff lifted him up, helped him to a wagon, an ambulance that had been brought up. he was helped aboard, sat on a thin mattress, and the driver saw his face, recognized him, snatched his hat from his head and held it against his chest as he began to cry, " Oh, Lord, what has happened to General Lee?"

There was an embarrassed pause, and Lee looked at the man, surprised at the outburst. "Soldier," he said calmly, "I have been inconvenienced, that's all. It is a small price for the inconvenience we have given General Pope.""


Eric Williams | 53 comments I just tried adding this quote again and once again it failed. What am I doing wrong here? Or it just the system?


Eric Williams | 53 comments I tried it once again today, at the same library as my attempt on the 15th, and I got the same error message as the previous two attempts. Why does this keep happening?


Eric Williams | 53 comments I tried it once again today (January 22nd) and got the same error message. Why am I having problems with this particular quote?


Eric Williams | 53 comments Tried it yet again today (January 29th) and it failed yet again, and got the same error message. Can someone else try adding this quote?


Eric Williams | 53 comments January 31st: tried yet again and failed yet again, with the exact same error message. Also tried, and failed, adding the following quotes:
* https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
* https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
* https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
* https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Attempted to add these quotes today (January 31st) and all failed for the same reason as this Gods and Generals quote.

Can someone else try adding this quote? or any of the rest?

Emily | 18098 comments I am not sure what is happening for you. I just added this
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/2406...

I went to his quotes page from the bottom of the book page.
Then I went to "Add a quote" in the small text to the right of the quote list.
My browser (Chrome) took a long time to load the add quote page.
I pasted the quote and then filled in the author and book title from the drop down list.


Eric Williams | 53 comments Thank you
