That's all by him. Bethesda used these ideas in The Book of the Dragonborn in Skyrim. For another example, look at From The Many-Headed Talos. The line, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you" is used in one of Heimskr's speeches in Skyrim. They're consistently staying true to MK's work.

Although I find his works interesting, I am certainly not a fanboy. I don't take stuff like C0DA or KINMUNE quite as seriously as I do more standard texts, and I'm sure others share this opinion. That said, they are still important to the lore and as such must have some sort of mention. To be honest, just because some work of his is used doesn't mean all of it is canon. Landfall I believe is something he wrote, which is complete speculation. Kirkbride also said Aldmeris isn't a real thing and if I recall correctly he also wrote the love letter from the fifth era. All nice and fine, but it's not canon, nor used in the game.

Long story short, MK texts that are used ingame should be fine, but the ones that aren't shouldn't be here tbh. Remember closesly that Kirkbride litterally said Aldmeris isn't a real thing.
