bad trivia entries with bylines
I noticed someone adding trivia entries with bylines and also mostly bad items that does not conform to the guidelines: https://www.imdb.com/search/title-text/?trivia=By68
There is a common item like this among different titles: "Favorite movie of Uzeyir", I mean, what? Who is "Uzeyir", the user himself? He should submit it as a review then not a trivia.
Other bad items are like, actor ages (which is a bio info not a title trivia), or quotes (not even translated to English) that should be submitted as Quote instead of trivia, or filming locations that should be submitted as filming location not trivia, movie connections that should be submitted as a connection not trivia, release dates that should be submitted as release dates not trivia etc.. Most of them are bad items like this that shouldn't have been approved in the first place.
Can something be done?

Hi mbmb-
Thank you for reporting this to us! Apologies on the delay response.
After checking the link you attached, I did some further investigation on these trivias and yes, they were all incorrectly added. I have done a clean up of all of these and the changes will be live on the site shortly.
I have also taken further actions on the contributor and to prevent these invalid additions.
Thank you again for reporting them!
Cheers!

I imagine the 'By' in By68 could possibly stand for Birkan Yüksel who added his name as copyright holder to some images/posters/screenshots he's added to these same titles to mark what he's added there too, but only staff could see if it was the same contributor but there's a correlation there for sure. Not sure what IMDb's stance on bogus copyright claims are with images.
