What is the most efficient way to get corrections made when an upload's metadata goes to a completely different and totally unrelated book?

I (and others) come across these more and more. They really need a human to take a look at them and fix them.

For example, this is a children's book called "Benjy's Dog House" by Margaret Bloy Graham:

This is the metadata:
Histoire naturelle des insectes, coléoptères
by Castelnau, Francis, comte de, 1812-1880

Publication date 1851
Topics Beetles, Insects -- Anatomy
Publisher Paris, Société bibliophile
Collection internetarchivebooks
Contributor Internet Archive
Language French
2 v. 23 cm

Another example. This is a children's book called "More Than Anything Else" by Marie Bradby:
https://archive.org/details/notesofjourneyfr0000busk/mode/1up

This is the metadata:
