Request to contact contributors who added wrong information #2

According to the bio trivia guide (https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/names-biographical-data/biographical-data-guidelines/GMT9...), "Bio trivia items should add directly or indirectly to the distinctive attributes of a person and provide/give an insight to that particular person rather than common trivia that could apply to most other people". One example given in this guide is "is a vegetarian".
In the past, I've removed all these bio trivia items from name pages.
Two months ago however, the item "is a vegetarian" was added to three names (https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/request-to-contact-contributors-who-added-wrong-information). Luckily, Elizabeth took action.
However, I noticed that recently, this useless bio trivia item has been added to this newly-added name page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11458623/bio
Can a staffer take action again? Also, please note that quite a lot of the bio trivia items for this person go against the aforementioned guide, so it would be a good idea to contact this contributor and delete several bio trivia items.

Hi Marco -

Thanks for reporting the issue, the Bio Trivia section for the name page you reported has been cleaned-up and I have reached out to the contributor to clarify our policy.

Cheers!
