Suggested correction: Not true.
This isn't a valid correction. Anyone can say "Not true" to any submission if they want to. You need to have actual data to back up your claim.
Agreed, but by the same token, anyone can post anything as trivia. How do we know the original post is true? The OP offers no source.
This entry doesn't look nor sound credible.
That may be so, but since the webmaster approved it, anyone who wishes to correct it needs to have information proving it to be wrong.
It's always a bit case by case - the member who submitted it is generally reliable, not prone to making stuff up, etc. But I'm open to corrections!

Blue Harvest - S6-E1
Trivia: The joke about Harrison Ford being the only actor whose career wasn't destroyed by Star Wars reportedly offended Mark Hamill. After the trilogy's success, Hamill became famous as a voice actor, playing the Green Goblin on "Spider-Man" and, more prominently, the Joker on various animated "Batman" series.

Trivia: When Angelus taunts Connor about trying to kill him and then sleeping with Cordelia, he comments, "Screwing your mom and trying to kill your dad? There should be a play." This refers to the Greek tragedy "Oedipus," in which the eponymous character unwittingly marries his mother after killing his father.

Trivia: While Buffy is the universe's primary focus, Angel holds more appearances in Buffyverse canon, appearing in 168 episodes of Buffy/Angel (as well as the canonical comic book "Angel: After the Fall"), as opposed to Buffy, who only appears in 149 episodes and the canonical comic book "Buffy Season Eight."

Full House (1987)
Trivia: Jaleel White's guest appearances this season as Steve Urkel created a gaping plot hole in the second episode of Step by Step: in that episode, White also guest starred as Urkel, and interacted with the show's characters. But Step by Step treats Full House as a fictional television series; thus, Urkel couldn't have appeared as a "real" person, because he was a character on a "fictional" show.

Immortal Beloved (1994)
Trivia: Gary Oldman turned down the lead role twice before finally accepting. Having already played three historical figures (Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy, Joe Orton in Prick Up Your Ears, and Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK), he was afraid of becoming typecast as a biopic actor.
