I cleaned out the blurbers a couple months back because there were a lot of publications and names in first last format instead of last, first.

Now I've noticed that things are starting to get messy again. I think it's because the blurber's blurb help text isn't really that helpful. Sure, it tells you what a blurb is (not the back of the book) but gives no hints about format and not to put publications there.

Could it get amended with a simple sentence like "Publications are not blurbers, and use the format of Last Name, First Name."?

Yes, please.

It should also make it clear that the blurber is the person, not the thing the person said.
