I checked to see if I had a knowledge panel. I input "Paul Chaney author and writer." A knowledge panel showed up, but Google confuses me with another Paul Chaney, a professor at Cardiff University. If I claim my knowledge panel, can I fix that?

I see two panels when searching for "Paul Chaney" and one of those is yours!

I see what you mean. If I just input Paul Chaney, it shows me and the professor at Vanderbilt University, Paul K. Chaney. But the one with my photo also references a professor, at Cardiff University. What is it with me and all these professors!?! LOL How do I fix this?

Also, funny story: Both Paul K. Chaney and I have written books published by Wiley. One day, I get a royalty check in the mail -- but it was for him, not me! I did the right thing and sent it to him. Good karma and all that.

I feel stupid for asking this, but what does "step on their throats" mean?

Haha don't feel stupid! It is poor wording from my end (bad translation from Russian!) Thanks for catching it!

Continue doing something you don't like (e.g. getting into "Top XX" lists)
