Some old silent films seem to have incorrect cast credits and it seems there is no way to report it
I have noticed that some entries for Edison films from 1908 list actress Florence Turner as a cast member, which cannot be correct, because at that time she worked for a different company - Vitagraph. Here is one example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1908524/ , but there are more entries like this. I just wanted to report it, so someone would check on what basis someone added Florence Turner to the Cast in the entries for 1908 Edison films. Films did not have screen credits at that time, so screen credits could not be the source of this information. And some of these films with incorrect credits are lost (including the one mentioned above), so it's not possible that someone added her because they watched a movie and they thought they recognized her. So why? All the books and other sources I have read say that Florence Turner worked for Vitagraph at that time, not for Edison. So it needs to be verified on what basis someone added her to the cast of Edison films. Maybe it was supposed to be a joke. Many people treat IMBD as a reliable source of information, so it's important to make sure that there are no errors.
