Biography

Subject: David Wells (Acting).
Goal: Write a 90-130 word factual identity profile.
Constraints: Use ONLY verifiable facts from provided sources. No inventions. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points. Plain text only. Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Sources:
[1] TMDB: David Wells is known for acting. He has 5 known credits. Content score is 50. Gender is male.
[2] ČSFD.cz: Mentions David Wells (creator/filmmaker profile) but provides no specific details in the snippet other than the name and categories (Filmography, Biography, etc.).
Name: David Wells.
Profession: Actor (Known for acting).
Known Credits: 5.
Gender: Male.
TMDB Content Score: 50.
Draft 1: David Wells is an actor. According to The Movie Database, he is known for his work in acting. He has a total of five known credits. His gender is listed as male. On The Movie Database, his content score is 50.
Critique 1: This is very short (around 40 words). The prompt asks for 90-130 words. However, I am strictly forbidden from inventing details. If the sources don't have enough info to reach 90 words, I have a conflict between "Write 90-130 words" and "Use ONLY facts present above" and "Do not invent".
Re-evaluating Sources:
[1] TMDB: David Wells. Known for: Acting. Known Credits: 5. Gender: Male. Content Score: 50.
[2] ČSFD: David Wells. (No specific facts provided in the snippet).
Problem: There are almost no facts to reach 90 words without repetition or invention.
Strategy: I must expand on the existence of the information provided without adding new information. I will describe what the sources state about him.
Draft 2: David Wells is an individual recognized for

Career

Career overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Write a 180-260 word career overview of David Wells (Acting).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from provided sources.
No invented titles, names, dates, awards, ratings, etc.
If a detail is missing, omit it.
Format: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count: 180-260 words.
Structure: 2-3 short paragraphs.
Source [1]: David Wells (TMDB). Known for acting. Known credits: 5. Gender: Male. Content Score: 50.
Source [2]: David Wells (ČSFD.cz). Mentions filmography, biography, etc., but provides no specific details (titles, dates, etc.) in the snippet.
Name: David Wells.
Profession: Actor (Known for acting).
Known credits: 5.
Gender: Male.
The sources are extremely sparse.
Source [1] says he has 5 known credits.
Source [2] is just a landing page link with no specific data.
I cannot invent titles, dates, or roles.
The word count requirement is 180-260 words.

Self-Correction/Constraint Check:
If I only write what is in the sources, I will have about 15-20 words.
"David Wells is a male actor with five known credits."
This is much less than the 180-260 word requirement.

Wait, looking at the prompt instructions again: "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above."
If the facts provided are insufficient to reach 180 words without inventing information, I am in a logical bind. However, as an archivist, I must follow the "Use ONLY facts" rule above all else. If I invent facts to hit the word count, I violate the primary instruction. If I don't hit the word count, I violate the length instruction. Usually, in these LLM prompts, the "Use ONLY facts" is the strict constraint.

Let's re-examine the sources.
Source 1: David Wells, TMDB, Known for Acting, Known Credits 5, Gender Male.
Source 2: David Wells, ČSFD.cz, mentions filmography, biography, etc.

There is literally nothing else. I cannot write 180 words about a man having 5 credits without repeating myself or inventing details.

Strategy: I will write the most professional, encyclopedic summary possible using the available facts. If I cannot reach 180 words without violating the "no invention" rule, I must prioritize the "no invention" rule. However, I will try to expand on the nature of the information provided (e.g., mentioning his presence on databases like TMDB and ČSFD) to see if I can approach the length, though even that is stretching it.

Actually, looking at the prompt again: "Write a 180-260 word career overview".
If the source material is insufficient, I cannot fulfill the word count requirement without breaking the core rule of "never invent or guess".

Let's try to draft:
David Wells is a male actor whose professional work is documented in film and television databases. According to records from The Movie Database, he is recognized for his work in acting. His professional profile includes five known credits.

This is only ~40 words.

Is there any other information?
Source 1: Content score 50.
Source 2: Mentions filmography, biography, interests, videos, gallery, and discussion.
