B. Traven

There is an entry for Bruno Traven in IMDB that lists a marriage, and a number of works. The author "B. Traven" is possibly a pen name and his real identity is in dispute. He used a number of different names, including Ret Marut and Hal Croves. Where he was born is also in dispute. See the article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._Traven

None of this is mentioned in the entry on IMDB, and the name is taken as fact, even though it may be fiction. 

There doesn't seem to be any way to enter this information.

The entry should be updated with more information, including the fact that the name might be a pen name for someone else whose identity is unknown.

@Maya​ NOT AN ANSWER.

This information is not only inaccurate, it is fictitious in many respects, and the entry should either be deleted, or there should be many warnings on it that the information is in dispute.

None of this is achievable through the update form. FWIW, I have been contributing to IMDB for YEARS. I know the process. This is a unique case.

The question is: do you want fictitious information on the site, or do you want ACCURATE and CONFIRMABLE information?
