1. Some of these have no author at all, but should have one.
2. Some of these were released by the house as Editor.
3. Some of these have Worldreader as Editor after the actual author.

For 1, we just need to find them and replace Worldreader with the Actual Author Name
For 2, we're stuck and need to leave Worldreader as editor
For 3, Worldreader needs to be removed from the record (and either added as publisher or as an Edition statement "Worldreader Edition")

I have noticed that the description field often contains the worldreader.org URL, which is contrary to the Librarian manual: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/404

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Indeed, URLs should be removed from the Description field and moved to the URL if appropriate, just deleted if not.

Alison | 961 comments It seems that the author might sometimes be missing in favor of the translator, which makes it hard to combine editions, but I am not 100% sure the names are the translators'. See https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8...
http://bot.worldreader.org/search/lit...? lists even more editions.
