The IMDB believes that the "William Lee" credited here is an alias for Beat writer William S. Burroughs. To evaluate this claim, I whizzed through a Let's Play video of the game at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbzwJTQpX34 until finding the character in question speaking, around 1:50. Doesn't sound anything like Burroughs (who you can hear in the game The Dark Eye at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV9dELnbNRI). I've abandoned my initial correction submission, but this is just to ... forestall anyone fooled by the IMDB in the future. Really, I should be filing a correction there, somehow.

Good luck. I'm pretty sure they have a bigger correction backlog than we have. I once submitted some sourced trivia there and just abandoned it after 5 years of not being looked at.

That seems strange. According to IMDb's backlog page, the processing time for trivia is currently about one and a half weeks, the oldest pending submission being from 22 June 2013.

Hmm, it was a few years ago, maybe things have changed since.

IMDb works differently from us: you don't get any feedback. So it's possible it was discarded (for whatever reason) but you were never notified. In that case you'd have to submit again.
