Hello! My book has been assigned to the wrong author.

This book is under the wrong Jackie Walker: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

It should be under this Jackie Walker (AND ALSO MERGED WITH THE COPY THAT I ENTERED MYSELF - CAN YOU FIX BOTH??):
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
MERGE WITH THIS ONE? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

[Alan]

Dear librarians,

I am one of a number of authors named Alan Richardson. I thought I straightened this out when my author page was established, but apparently not. There are many books by authors sharing my name but not identity on my author page:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Let me start by saying that I am the Professor of English, born 1955, who has published books on literature topics, plus a recent nature/hiking/zen book on the Appalachian Trail.

Here are books that come up under my author page that are *not* by me (there are many, please be patient).

1) First, here are books by the much-published British theologian Alan Richardson (1905-75), none by me:

Religion in Contemporary Debate: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Creeds in the Making https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
York Minster Restored https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
The Bible in the Age of Science https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Preface to Bible Study
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

You can find a wikipedia article on this AR here, listing many of the same books:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Ri...

2) Then there is the cupcake/food photographer Alan Richardson:
What's New, Cupcake https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
The Dean Family Cookbook
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Make it Easy, Cupcake
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Make it Easy, Cupcake (different ed.)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Quoi de Neuf, Cupcake?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Summer on a Plate'
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The food photographer AR has an author page on Goodreads listing many of the same books; all should be combined there, if anyone will be kind enough:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

3) then there is an Alan Richardsons born in 1951 (Llewellyn author's page) who writes on mystical subjects and writes fantasy fiction as well:

Me, Myself, and Dion Fortune
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Bad Love Days
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
The Giftie
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
The Lightbearer
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Searching for Sulis
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
The Great Witch Mum
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Twisted Light
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
The Moonchild
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Earth God Risen
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
The Giftie
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
The Sea Priest
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
The Setian (introduction)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
The Templar Door
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Old Light
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
The Quantum Simpleton
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
The Movie Star
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Chapman's Apocalypse
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Short Circuits
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

the above AR (1951-) has an amazon.com page listing all of the above books as his:
https://www.amazon.com/Alan-Richardso...
and here is his Llewellyn author page listing his birth year:
https://www.llewellyn.com/author.php?...

4) Then the Scottish composer Alan Richardson (1904-1978):
Roundelay
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Three Pieces Op. 22
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
First Book of Horn Solos
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
First Book of Oboe Solos
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Second Book of Oboe Solos
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Here is the composer AR's wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Ri...

5) The American psychologist and researcher Alan Richardson:
Individual Differences in Imaging
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

6) The philosopher of science AR (at University of British Columbia)
Objectivity in Science
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Rudolf Carnap: Early Writings
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

both of the above are listed on his faculty page at UBC:
https://philosophy.ubc.ca/profile/ala...

7) the veterinarian and architecture historian Alan Richardson:
Our Secular Cathedrals https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Theoretical Aspects of Roman Camp and Fort Design
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
The Roman Surveyors in Cumberland
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
The Roman Survey of Britain
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Vanished Lives
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

I learned about him from this eBay page:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vanished-Liv...


8) and, at last, a catchall category of various AR's who may or may not be in some cases the same as each other or as some of the above:

Writing Built Environment Dissertations
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Cases and Active Learning Exercises
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Penguin Book of Canadian Cryptic Crosswords
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Australia in the Making
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
There Are Hats
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Surviving and Thriving in High School
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Bending Reality
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Finally, there is one that is clearly corrupt: it combines something by the composer, something by the fantasy writer, and a book in a series (Houghton Mifflin New Riverside editions) that I, this AR, was series editor for (and Judith Page was editor for):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

So, I believe that is all the ones I am not responsible for: all the above links are to books *not* by me but by other Alan Richardsons.

I have tried, in the name of disambiguation, to group books that are by distinct ARs: clearly the British theologian list, the food photographer list, the fantasy writer list, and the composer list are solid, based on a bit of research. I would warmly suggest separate author pages for each (and, in the case of the fantasy writer, simply migrating his books on my page to his own page).

And pages for the academic psychologist, the philosopher of science, and the historian of architecture?

And then a general AR page for all the ones left ove?

Up to you of course. Thank you for your patience with this.

Let me know if you would like a list of the books there that *are* by me. They include the academic literature studies (I am a Romanticist who also works on literature and cognition), the books in the above mentioned Houghton Mifflin New Riversides series, and the (just published!) Appalachian Trail book.

with many thanks--
Alan Richardson (1955-)

This book is on my author profile but is not mine — despite the fact that it makes me appear smart and diversified, I guess it ought to be removed... thanks!

This book is.... ambiguously mine/not mine.

It's attached to my author profile, but I really don't consider it to be my book. I contributed a single pattern to it. I am not the *author* of this book.

Is there any way to disentangle it from my author profile?

[Markus]

None of these books, except The Cat's Lantern, are mine.

#782 Markus, please contact Support and have them assign you a new profile with just you and your book. Otherwise books by the other person will continue to import to yours.

#783 While editors would be listed on certain books, these are not included, so I have removed your name

#784 Done (no future changes should be made)

#785 It probably depends on when you claimed your author profile rather than when the book was written. However, this is a Goodreads issue rather than a librarian issue, so I would contact Support if you are concerned about this.

Hello!

The author who wrote this book (me) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
is other person than the one who translate those books:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
so a second author profile should be created that contains only the book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Hello, my book The Dublin Railway Murder (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...) has been misattributed to another author of the same name.
