In Friends 1971, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067118/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4 the editors have just changed Anicee Alvina's character from Michelle La Tour (incorrect spelling) to Michelle Latour. But in all the quotes, despite the fact that I mentioned in my explanation of the change that all the quotes with the wrong spelling would need to be changed too, all the quotes still remain Michelle La Tour. Must I do it and if so how? In Edit for the quote page I see not way to modify the name, if I am suppose to do it. Do I just have to wait a bit longer for the staff to do it since it is a recent submission. I thought that when the staff changed the credit page name, that it is linked to the quotes and the change would be automatic. Help is appreciated.

David, I selected Other from the list and searched all over the place to click Check these updates, but it was no where to be found...where is it? Instead I filled in the Character field following Other and Name and typed Michelle Latour. (Michelle Latour has been corrected by the editors and overwrites the wrong spelling in Credits, but when I refresh I get Michelle Latour(-) and a rejection: Choose from the cast list for the quote you are going to make. There is only Michelle La Tour there.
Interestingly, If I click Anicee Alvina or was it Michelle Latour in the credits, I am moved to a page where it says at the top in bold Michelle La Tour and below, Alternate name Michelle Latour http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0119460/?ref_=tt_cl_t2 There is another problem post by me about this whole problem which I added this morning in Customer Community. Very complicated. They replaced Michelle Latour in credits instead of Michelle La Tour, but in the above link, Michelle Latour is only an alternate name.

There is a Continue or Check these updates or Recheck these updates button at the bottom of each update page, below the forms. It used to always be just Continue, but IMDb changed this a while ago. Sometimes the Continue button is shown a second time instead of changing to the Check these updates button.
I complained at the time of the modification that the change made it more difficult to give advice and suggested a Check and continue button if the Continue was felt to be insufficient, with the usual success of such suggestions.
As to the AKA on the character page, there is an option to choose which name is to be listed as the primary one. Apparently somebody has done this as the page now is headed with Michelle Latour.

Yes, I changed all the quotes and gave an explanation. They will show the changes when they post them. The problem with switch of Michelle La Tour to alternate name is that no such alternate even exists! Somebody didn't know French or they got the name from Wikipedia where it is spelled wrong too. Don't know how to delete the alternate name though.
