Vandalism of production and distribution companies for kids shows

I've discovered numerous TV episodes that have incorrect production companies and distributors added, all with attributes referencing "Christian Winebarger". https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aimdb.com+%22Christian+Winebarger%22 Here's one example, from https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3344756/companycredits/ Distributors An Olive Branch Productions (United States, 2025)(The Christian Winebarger's Animation of Art Studios, TV) Canada Television and Cable Production Fund (Canada, 2025)(The Christian Winebarger Channel, TV) Memphis & Shelby County Film & Television Commission (United States, 2025)(The Christian Winebarger Channel, TV) Olive Branch Film Studios (United States, 2025)(The Christian Winebarger's Animation of Art Studios, TV) I started deleting these, but there are *so many* of them. Could someone at IMDb look at these, and hopefully undo all of this contributor's submissions?

There are also fake locations added to episodes of “Big Bag” —https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395838/reference/ — were these also caught? Also, I’ve found similar vandalism on “Phibeas and Ferb.” Someone has added audio mixes for nonexistent VHS releases of 2025 episodes: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30505672/reference/

I think it’s more work of our friend Christian — “Punch Drunk Love” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272338/technical/ includes the sound format “Cinerama 7-Track(Dolby Digital 1.0 Mono 1. Christian's Super Surround Sound)” This looks like something IMDb will have to roll back, because it's hard to tell what is completely made up, and what is mostly accurate except for the addition of fake attributes. For example, the TV series "Kipper" was apparently released using every sound process known: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0260628/technical/
