Hello
The idea in short: compare author names with a well known source and fix wrong ones.

I have now many duplicate authors with LN FN, and FN LN(my mistake during import, I noticed it after import), some with wrong "." placement and so on. The Find Duplicates plugin is very helpful in finding and fixing that, but it will not find one single wrong name and cannot fix names automatically.

For sure there are some good sources of author names on the internet (on wikipedia, Fantastic Fiction), I do not know which is best, could be used.
