Incorrect author for citations

Question

Opened this issue 7 months ago · 9 comments

e.g. plex is listed as the author of this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc4gKH6xTBw), but he most definitely isn't.

@mruwnik do you know why this might be?

Answer 2 · 2024-06-10T19:50:53.000Z

yes. It's because it's from his YT channel. It might be worth not showing the author for YT videos. Or fixing the scraper would be even better

@melissasamworth I've seen other incorrect citations, like this article. I think this issue should be P0.

@bryceerobertson going to look into this and take a shot at a fix

This is caused by how the ARD looks for YT authors here. These vidoes are from plex's playlist, so he gets credited as the author

Myles has a hacky short term solution here, which is to just not show YT authors

The problem is I've seen it also happen for non-YouTube sources like https://arbital.com/p/general_intelligence/, which shows Eric and Eliezer as joint authors

yup. That's correct

I'd show it from arbital, but it requires being logged in:
