Ref author first/last names mixed up
As I was fixing refs with last name "Jr" I found this article where it should have been first=J. R.; and all the other first/last names are swapped from what they should be. They came in this way on the edit that created the article, so I don't have any insight into whether maybe there's a referencing tool that gets confused with sources that list last names and first initials (e..g. "Lyon RF" going to "first=Lyon|last=Rf"). If these could be reliably detected that could probably be reliably fixed by regex replacements. Anyone have any insights? I'll probably need to ask at a more central place... Dicklyon (talk) 19:36, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
