Please tell me what part of the IMDb Trivia Guidelines prohibit adding text to an item; i.e., adding book titles the author wrote to an item that says he wrote "sports books" (plural) but cited only a single book.

The Trivia item shouldn't have been accepted in the first place, and all of his book titles should be listed under Other Works.

OK, so will the original item be deleted or moved to Other Works?

Here's a quote from the Submission Guidelines for Bio-Trivia under Unacceptable Bio-Trivia:

  • Appearances in stage plays, radio, and other works not accepted in the main listings should be sent as Other Works, not trivia.
  • Books and articles written by the person should also be sent as Other Works.

David, I now understand. My question was whether the item that should not have been accepted to begin with will be changed by IMDb or would that be something I would need to do if I cared to follow up on it?

@critterc74​ - Hi, 

I can see that the incorrect Bio-Trivia is no longer live. You are welcome to submit your contribution to the other respective data section.

Cheers!
