Richard M. Gordon identical?

There is an author called Richard M. Gordon. He wrote a short story "The Murder of George Washington". It was published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. George Washington is supposed to be poisoned with tomatoes, which were considered poisonous for quite some time. Is Richard M. Gordon identical with Richard Gordon a.k.a. Gordon Ostlere? --Turan MUC (talk) 11:19, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

I don't know but would guess not for three reasons: Firstly there is another author called Richard M. Gordon who wrote a book about being an American POW in Japan. I suspect that it was him. Secondly I suspect that a qualified surgeon wouldn't ever have considered tomatoes to be poisonous. And thirdly Richard Gordon is a pen name and none of his real names begin with M. I would say very unlikely but obviously impossible to prove a negative. 2.96.172.224 (talk) 20:43, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Please bear in mined that if you type "Richard Gordon" into the box marked "Search Wikipedia" you get directed to a number of people called "Richard Gordon" or who wrote under the name "Richard Gordon". Vorbee (talk) 15:26, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

"He is the grandfather of the famous Hilda Han"

Umm - I have no idea who this is, there are a variety of Hilda Han's on Google but none on Wikipedia. There are also no references. I am deleting but obviously reinstate if there is a clue who this is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.96.172.224 (talk) 20:54, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
