Incorrect listing of photographic appearance on "Ellen"
In 2018 Rich Evans appeared on a photograph in the "Ellen" episode "Ellen's 12 Days of Giveaways - Day 5". Circumstances of said appearance are very odd: a polaroid photograph of his became a meme prior after first being shown in this episode of web-series "Best of the Worst". However he could be considered credited given the nature of the show (cast gets credited as they appear). However, according to guidelines his listing should have additional attributes: "(credit only)" and "(as Dick the Birthday Boy)".
The problem is that he was already added by someone as is without neither attribute and two of my attempts at correcting this situation (#211110-110109-440000 and #211111-123401-255000) were declined with reason stated as "Unable to verify".
If I am mistaken and the credit should be removed altogether from the cast section, I believe it should be added to "Other crew" as "photographic model". While photograph was not per se made for the episode, it was improperly licensed as far as I've researched, which makes the case kind of similar to obligatory writing credits for plagiarized works. Moreover, the absence of this listing in the filmography of Rich Evans might spark re-addition due to how popular the appearance is.

Hi Nikolay -
This is a unique scenario, I have now applied the "credit only" and "as" attributes, the changes should be live on the site shortly.
Cheers!
