Family Name

Family (Last) Names of users

The new procedure for URLs needs last names (Family names) of users.

Therefore Rad needs to check for all EconomicBlogs:

• That the last name is not empty
• We would like one single word as family name,
  • We don’t like : G. Holcombe as last name, leave this a Holcombe

• De: French
• Von: German
• Van: Dutch

Exception2: Complex Family name after marriage

• Miller-Smith (one word with hyphen)

First Name

Americans use abbreviations for their second, third first name.

Apparently there is a bug in FeedWP, that takes the second first name as last name.

Team can move the second first name into the first name.

Do the task only for the main authors.

Nickname versus official name

Sometimes authors use the nickname instead the official name.

Example:

WordPress: Nick Name and Display Name

Question: is there manual work or does FeedWP do this automatically?

Names of Organisations

For all none-persons like

“Spiegel”,

“Spott Money”,

“The National Interest”,

“The Telegraph”,

you need to use one word like “SprottMoney”
no “the” in this word

Family Names will be : Spiegel, SprottMoney, NationalInterest, Telegraph

Abbreviations for Central Banks

Central Banks are also organisations. Here we use the short names: SNB, RBA, RBNZ, ECB.

Names of Multi user

add the two or three family names with “-”

First name is empty

Example:

Glassman-Verret-Peirce

for the authors James K. Glassman, J. W. Verret and Hester Peirce
