You can go to
preferences - plugins - metadata download and customize each plugin. You can also go to
Preferences - General and uncheck
download social metadata or uncheck
overwrite author and title.

Just a guess but did you have the book you were trying to change the author's name open in the Calibre viewer? If it was open it would already be in use.

Just highlight all the books you want to ensure the authors have the same spelling and open the
Edit meta information and paste the name in the
Author box and check the
automatically set author sort.
None of these items are new but they are useful.
