I submitted a trivia item that was published yesterday. I realized that I made a mistake on the last sentence and tried to correct it. When I tried to edit, the form does not show any of the trivia items published, it says, "No existing data".

Maybe this is due to the fact that it was published so recently, I feel awful because the last sentence I wrote is not correct. I tried editing by clicking the trivia section edit button, and also tried the button for the entire page. I'm quite embarrassed.

The trivia item I need to correct is for The Last Ship tv series, episode Tempest, and is the trivia about Asteris island. The last sentence I wrote said that Asteris is a fictional island, but I was wrong, it is a real island. I want to add this sentence instead: Asteris is a real island, between the islands Ithaki and Kefalonia in the Ionian sea.

How can I get this changed? Thank You.

That's exactly the situation. IMDb data is usually updated for "display" mode faster than it is updated for "edit" mode.

I have normally found that the "edit" mode catches up with the "display" mode within 48 hours. So if you wait 2 days, you should be able to submit the correction, or you may be able to do so even sooner.

Good luck!
