Lutterworth Press | 5 comments Hello,

Is it possible to correct the author attribution of this book?
Henri Gaudier-Brzeska: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The correct author is called David Wilkinson, however it is a different David Wilkinson to the one attributed.

The correct David Wilkinson is also the author of this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Which has also been incorrectly attributed.

Your help is much appreciated,
The Lutterworth Press (The Publisher)

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7935 comments I am not sure I have untangled this correctly. Working from last to first:

You indicated the correct David Wilkinson was the author of this book: Guy Thorne: C. Ranger Gull: Edwardian Tabloid Novelist and His Unseemly Brotherhood but then stated that the author attribution was incorrect. There was an attribution for "Wilkinson David," which I removed.

I then changed the attribution on Henri Gaudier-Brzeska: The London Years, 1911-1914 to show the same author profile as the Guy Thorne book. That is, David^^^Wilkinson, with 3 spaces to disambiguate from other authors with the same name: David Wilkinson

Please let me know if I misunderstood.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Moved both books to a new David Wilkinson profile, which I think was what was wanted. Are those the only books by that author, and do you have any information we could add to the author profile (date/place of birth, genre of books)?

Lutterworth Press | 5 comments Thank you very much Dobby0390 and Abcdarian for your kind assistance, it has been correctly sorted now.

David Wilkinson is also the author of:
Arthur Greening: That Damned Elusive Publisher, which does not appear to be on Goodreads, details on the publisher's website: http://www.rivendalepress.com/greenin...

The forthcoming Death of a Hero: The Quest for First World War Poet Richard Aldington's Berkshire Retreat. Again attributed to the wrong David Wilkinson.

David Wilkinson also contributed to Sven Berlin, Out of the Shadows. Details on the Amazon page here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sven-Berlin-...

And he wrote the introduction for Roads To Glory which is also attributed to the wrong David Wilkinson

About David Wilkinson:
Genres: Biography
Date/place of birth: 1941/Wiltshire, United Kingdom

Short Bio: David Wilkinson, writer and occasional publisher, is the author of a number of biographical works. He runs an art gallery and second hand book store, The Book Gallery, in St. Ives, Cornwall and was for 20 years the associate editor of the Richard Aldington Newsletter.

Again, thank you for your help.

Lutterworth Press | 5 comments I have another misattributed author for a kind Librarian to correct.

Regarding Arthur Mee: A Biography the author Keith Crawford is not the same author as some of the other books listed on that author profile.

The correct author profile for this book is Keith A. Crawford. Could the book Arthur Mee: A Biography be attributed to him.

And the author profile updated:

Genres: Biography/History
Date/Place of Birth: 1950/London, United Kingdom
Short Bio: Keith Crawford (PhD) is Adjunct Professor of Education in the School of Education at Macquarie University, Sydney. His current research focusses upon the social construction of national identity mediated through school history, geography and civic textbooks, school magazines and newspapers in Australia and the UK. He is the author and editor of numerous articles and books on education.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7935 comments #6: Done: moved to the correct profile, and added bio information.

Thank you for your research and for the information! :-)

ETA: cover image added, from publisher website

Lutterworth Press | 5 comments Thank you Dobby0390.

I'm unsure of Goodreads policy on contributors to a book who have written only one article inside but Keith A. Crawford is a contributor of: International Research Handbook On Values Education And Student Wellbeing and Democracy at the Crossroads: International Perspectives on Critical Global Citizenship Education

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7935 comments We can definitely add him. I notice that each of these compilations has more than one edition. Was Crawford a contributor on each edition?


message 10: by Abcdarian (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments #8: Added as contributor.
