Within Google Webmasters Search Appearance->Structured data I'm getting a series of errors:

Error: Missing required hCard "author".

And most of my 44 errors have:

Missing: Author
Missing: entry-title
Missing: updated

There seems to be no CLEAR explanation of these errors. It is either because these classes exist without their nested classes, or they are expected to exist because of something else, possibly itemscope or itemtype=''

The Question: How do you specify with richsnippets that the page is about a location and there is no human author?
