Wrong first name for Von Helmholtz in catalog [FIXED]

First name is Hermann, not Wilhelm:

This is a copy of the catalog entry as it stands as of 9/10/21:

Wilhelm von Helmholtz (1821 - 1894)
Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (31 August 1821 – 8 September 1894) was a German physicist and physician who made significant contributions in several scientific fields. The largest German association of research institutions, the Helmholtz Association, is named after him.

Fixed, thank you!

How could that happen?

Hi Availle, Just today (9/15/21) I was entering von Helmholtz as author for a selection in vol. 085 of the Short Nonfiction Collection, and I noticed that the catalog entry is still coming up with the wrong first name. Here is the current catalog entry:

Wilhelm von Helmholtz (1821 - 1894)
Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (31 August 1821 – 8 September 1894) was a German physicist and physician who made significant contributions to the fields of physiology, psychology, physics, and philosophy. The largest German association of research institutions, the Helmholtz Association, is named after him.

I'm thinking maybe corrections wait for a general update of the catalog, and that is why I'm not seeing the correction yet, but I'd appreciate it if you would check for me.

Thanks,

Not sure why it didn't stick the first time, but it's fixed again.

That's weird because I changed the blurb as well at that time and that one did stick.

Thanks for fixing it for real, jo!

Availle, Yes, I thought the blurb had a fuller version of his first names than I remembered before. Thank you both for the corrections
