ISFDB:Recently Published Books Cleanup

This project lists the authors of recently published books that haven't been cleaned up yet.

The ISFDB software generates lists of forthcoming books broken up by month and accessible from the Main Page. These lists are created by a Webbot, Dissembler, and not by humans, therefore they need to be corrected by humans. The lists are regularly reviewed by ISFDB editors and new arrivals are merged into existing Titles, added to existing Series or otherwise massaged.

As part of this process, ISFDB editors strive to clean up each affected Author's bibliography and at least ensure its internal consistency by merging identical Titles, putting Series data together, etc. Thus recently active Authors that are responsible for recent entries in the database are more likely to be cleaned up first, which helps with prioritization.

Sometimes Author data can't be cleaned up in time either because of the volume of data involved (e.g. R._L._Stine) or due to other limitations. If that is the case, their names should be added to this list, which effectively serves as yet another list of priority cleanup targets.
