Those examples were only part of the much longer list I sent engineering in January. Glad they were and are useful.

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