Word Count Check:
Para 1: ~55 words.
Para 2: ~35 words.
Total: ~90 words.
Problem: The user requested 180-260 words.
Constraint Conflict Analysis: The source material is extremely sparse. It only contains basic biographical data and a credit count. To reach 180-260 words without inventing facts (which is strictly forbidden by the prompt) is mathematically impossible if I follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule.
Re-evaluating the Source:
Name: David Wilson Barnes
Also known as: David H Wilson
Occupation: American stage and screen actor
Education: MFA in Acting from the School of the Arts, Columbia University, New York
Birthday: October 30, 1972
Birthplace: San Diego, California, USA
Credits: 39
Known for: Acting
Strategy: I must expand the prose using neutral, encyclopedic phrasing to approach the word count, but I cannot add new information. However, if the source material is insufficient to reach 180 words without violating the "no inventing" rule, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule. Usually, in these prompts, if the source is short, the word count is a target, but the "no invention" rule is the hard constraint.
Wait, let me look closer at the source.
Is there anything else? No.
If I write: "David Wilson Barnes is an American stage and screen actor. He was born in San Diego, California, USA, on October 30, 1972. He is also known as David H Wilson. Barnes holds a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from the School of the Arts at Columbia University in New York. He has 39 known credits in his career. He is known for his acting work."
That's about 60 words.
