...which are destroying this site. 🤯

I'm about to start entering the 2025 Ockham longlist. A casual glance at previous year's winners brought up a few alterations by the bots - for example allen-curnow' for 'Allen Curnow'. If anyone spots any more obviously wrong NZ/Aotearoa book titles or authors post here & I will correct.

oh yeah I've noticed authors names looking like that. Was wondering what the reasons for it were. Thanks, if I find any for kiwi authors will let you know.

Yeah, if your wondering why so many experienced librarians have given up (including our very own Lesley) it is stuff like this! If librarians made the stuff-ups that staff & these badly programmed bots did we would be out on our ear!
