Remember:

technically we should enter all names listed on the source, but the core instructions allow us to enter only the most prominent name provided on the source of information, or, if none are prominent, then the first (2.8.4.5 + the core instruction at 2.8.4)
when entering 'supplied' data, put each element inside its own set of square brackets
do not use abbreviations or shorten names in this element, unless they are given that way on the resource (put down what you see)
