Hyphenated dates not registering

After Charts & Graphs started showing original publication dates, I went to work entering them for my books. I have 4 that have either hyperspecific or date ranges as their dates and are showing up under "no date" still.
Lois de la Republique Francaise. An IIIe de la Republique une et indivisible. No. 167. An 3, 2 Thermidor. An 3, 2 Thermidor corresponds to 7/20/1795 so I have entered it, per example under the box, as 1795-07-20.

Specimens of the British poets : with biographical and critical notices, and An essay on English poetry. Vol. 7 has original writings (1819) as well as stuff from Chaucer (1387) so I've entered it as 1387-1819.

Oeuvres de Collin-Harleville : contenant son theatre et ses poesies fugitives, avec une notice sur sa vie et ses ouvrages is a complete set of all of his publications, so based on OCLC records (I have a paid subscription) I entered 1786-1808.

It seems like the hyphens are the problem--do I need to make these just 1795, 1387, and 1808? or 1795, 1819, and 1808?

I'm seeing these on the Common Knowledge for all three, just as you entered them. Where are you not seeing it?

That said, it is wrong to enter a date range for the second two. For an anthology, collection, etc., the original publication date is for the anthology or collection, not the pieces contained within it.

For Original publication date, they don't take ranges. Each date would get its own box. When you are editing that field, you should see an Add Item box beneath the lowest edit line. Click this to add additional dates. Don't put them all on the same line as that will cause problems.

The hyphens themselves should not be a problem. The first work is just caught in a caching situation, since Tim has said sometimes the processes do run a little slow. Depending on when you made that change.

>2 lilithcat: Many people enter the original publication date of the separate pieces in the anthology. I see it happen all the time.

I would interpret a range in the original publication date to mean "this was published sometime between x and y, we don't know when"
If a work has two (or more) parts that have different publication dates I would enter them as separate lines, with the most recent one first.

The exact date with hyphens should work fine, but there seems to be some other calculation going on with original publication date, as it does not update immediately like all of the other data points in "charts & graphs" do.

>2 lilithcat: These 3 books are showing up under "original publication date: none" in my catalog when linked from the Charts and Graphs graph of original publication date (does this link work : https://www.librarything.com/catalog/jonsweitzerlamme&collection=-1&orig... )?

I've corrected the cataloging on the second two. I made this change quite a while ago, like weeks or more.

Probably a dumb question, but it isn't a difference between a long hyphon and a short one is it? (Yes, they've almost certainly got proper names that I probably ought to know by my age). LT has certainly been known to treat simple Unicode apostrophes differently from Microsoft "smart quotes" if you copy them in from an external document.
