Description

["Saptarshi Guha[:joy]"]

Hello,
Blake cutler was an employee at Mozilla who wrote several blog entries for https://blog.mozilla.org/metrics/

However, the author  of all his articles have been changed to Ali Almossawi who worked at Mozilla *after* Blake had left(sometime 2012).

As you can see (e.g. https://blog.mozilla.org/metrics/2009/12/) there are entries attributed to Ali before he joined Mozilla.


Could the author credits be changed to reflect Blake Cutler?

As a first pass, i beleive everuthing on and before Sep 8th, 2011 written credited to Ali should be credited to Blake Cutler

Thanks for filing Saptarshi! 

Yup, that sounds right to me. Any idea how this happened? Seems really odd...

Hey All,

This happened because we recently cleaned out old Users on the blog who weren't active, left Mozilla, etc. and Ali got attributed to these posts because of alphabetical ordering. 

To circumvent this, I created a local user called Blake Cutler with no perms, and went through all the old posts by "Ali" pre 2011 and re-attributed them to Blake. 

Here's an example of one of them that I fixed:

Sorry about the confusion.
