Hi Elizabeth,
As our engineering team works on the site, we will be getting these
author issues cleaned up. Thank you for providing the examples, these
are very helpful.

I have repeatedly written to volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx to Pavi and to
Carrie. I have given over fifteen examples of authors which appear
incorrectly and have mentioned that English teachers must have a hard

Dos Passos
Du Maurier
and on and on.
I received back comments that such author issues are not a priority
at present.
