Five writing credits from a Shrek short have been bizarrely incorrectly added to over 50 music videos/shorts/webseries

Hello everyone

Now this is pretty strange. It would appear someone has taken the five writing credits for "Shrek: Thriller Night", and pasted them across over 50 random pages.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2051999/

As one can see, there are writing credits for Sean Bishop, Elaine Rogan, David Feiss, Tom Shannon, and Mark Walton. These, as best as I can tell, are legitimate. But if you click on any of those five writers' pages, their writing sections are absolutely flooded with nonsense. Over 50 fake "story" credits on a variety of random shorts, music videos and web series. And, from what I've checked, it's the same five people from the Shrek short every time on all these listings. Can someone fix this? 

Mark Walton and Elaine Rogan's only credits before this vandalizing were the Shrek short, so it's pretty easy to see all the fake credits if you look at their profile before all this stuff went down:

Hi tormented -

Thanks for reporting.  These invalid credits have been removed and I have taken steps to prevent a future recurrence.

Thanks again!
