Picked up? From where/what?
Calibre uses book metadata (or optionally file name) during ADD.

Unfortunately Downloaded metadata is (IMHO) iffy if you just 'let it rip'
I prefer to cherry pick by manually doing each book, Ctrl+D if in the main GUI and ALWAYS click Review (I use the arrows for what I want to keep and Edit the left side as needed. In some cases the wrong stuff is found and I use the REJECT button,
Or use the button in the MDE and choose (or reject if none is satisfactory)

Also, you can use the Tag Browser (right click:manage...) to normalize spelling variations or just bulk remove excess tags. That affects all books that had those values from 1 place.
