Photo corrections

There's a film called Everest: The Other Side (2026). The pictures were tagged to the wrong Jim Morrison. I updated the photos, but the correct name wasn't added. Can a staff member add the correct person to the photos so that the wrong name doesn't get re-added? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3869148

#260914-015750-365000 - Jim Bouton

Please tell me what part of the IMDb Trivia Guidelines prohibit adding text to an item; i.e., adding book titles the author wrote to an item that says he wrote "sports books" (plural) but cited only a single book.

Items under Trivia - similar entries under many titles

I have noticed entries under Trivia for titles which are similar in nature and which don't IMHO don't meet the criterion of being Trivia-worthy and thus I have routinely asked for their deletion (they always have been deleted upon request).
