I read through the Braveheart trivia and submitted some trivia which are similar but my reporting was declined. When you report you can't reference what trivia you think was the duplicate. Just want an extra opinion on this.

"Randall Wallace had been visiting Edinburgh in 1983 to learn about his heritage when he came across a statue of William Wallace outside Edinburgh Castle. He had never heard of the 14th-century figure who shared his name, but was intrigued enough by the stories told to him about "Scotland's greatest hero" to research the story as much as possible."
Randall Wallace first had the idea for the film on a vacation to Edinburgh. He saw statues of William Wallace (no relation) and Robert the Bruce adorning Edinburgh Castle and asked a tour guide who they were. The guide proceeded to tell the screenwriter about their story. Wallace was immediately inspired to write a screenplay about the famed warriors.

Rest of examples

Real-life Wallaces are extras in the movie. Mel Gibson also stayed with them during the course of the film to learn history.
- Mel Gibson brought in actual members of the Wallace clan as extras. They're standing around Wallace during the opening shots of battles.
Mel Gibson initially turned down the role of William Wallace, as he felt he was too old for the part. However, Paramount Pictures would only finance the film if Gibson played the lead role, so he agreed.
- Mel Gibson initially turned down the role of William Wallace when MGM executive Alan Ladd Jr. gave him the script, because he felt he was too old for the part. A year later he changed his mind, after Paramount Pictures said they would finance the film only if he played the lead role.

Hey - I'd agree these look like duplicates. I've got a preference for the second one personally. Whichever you choose to submit a delete for make sure you copy in the link to the first one and explain thoroughly in the explanation field.
