Yes, exactly my point. So I am confused, one /should/ add themselves to contributor.entities right away, or wait until their name is used more than once? (Well, if you count translations, I guess there is no such thing as "once"?) (In my case, as a native of that horribly backwards country which bestowed on me the en_US language, I don't even pronounce my last name anywhere close to the "proper German", much less have any desire to spell it W?hlke? :-), which it hasn't been for a few generations at least.)
