http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/203...Currently attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt with 170+ votes, but more correctly attributable to Van Buren Hoover, who is not in the database, even under his pen name Martin Vanbee, because he was a magazine editor, not a book writer. But as "famous quotes need famous mouths," it is much more often attributed to Roosevelt uncited.
So, do we delete it because it's NAB? Or reattribute to the correct author? If so, under which name?
