Use Tag Browser, select Publishers, right click and select Manage Publishers. Change the names to the name you want for all.

Also, the same publisher is inconsistent with the authors. Sometimes it can be "Hugo" or "Victor Hugo" or "HUGO". Is there a way to make calibre normalise that and just put Victor Hugo in each of the three instances?
You can do the same thing, or use Search and Replace in the bulk metadata editor after selecting books to change.

Also, the usercontributed tags from online registries (like amazon or google) can be usefull, but also they can be a nuisance. Is there a way to remove all the instances of a certain tag all over the database?
Same method as for publishers - use the Tag Browser and Manage Tags.
