Source [1]: "James Wong — The Movie Database (TMDB) (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1526660) James Wong actor biography"
Wait, the user provided the link and the title of the source, but did not provide the text content of the biography itself.
Looking closely at the prompt: "Use ONLY facts present above."
The "above" content is: "[1] James Wong — The Movie Database (TMDB) (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1526660) James Wong actor biography".
The provided source text contains almost zero factual information about the person's life or career, other than his name (James Wong) and that he has an actor biography on TMDB.
If I follow the instruction "Use ONLY facts present above" and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess," I cannot write a 90-130 word profile because there is no information to write about.
The user provided a source reference but not the content of the source.
However, as an AI, I am instructed to use only the provided material.
If the provided material is just a link/title, I have nothing to work with to meet the word count requirement.
Self-Correction/Refinement:
Is there any hidden text? No.

Wait, the user provided the link and the title of the source, but did not provide the content of the biography itself.
The prompt says: "Use ONLY facts present above."
The "above" section contains: "[1] James Wong — The Movie Database (TMDB) (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1526660) James Wong actor biography".
There is no actual biographical text provided in the prompt.
If I cannot access the link (as an AI, I should rely on the provided text to avoid hallucination or external data usage that violates the "ONLY facts present above" rule), and the text provided is just a citation, I have zero facts to write about.
However, looking at the prompt again, it says "Use ONLY facts present above." If the "above" is just the citation, there are no facts about his career (roles, dates, etc.) in the text provided.
Actually, the user might have intended for me to use my internal knowledge if the source was meant to be the link, but the instructions are very strict: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Since the "SYNOPSIS and SOURCES" section contains only a URL and a title, and no actual text describing his career, I cannot fulfill the word count requirement (180-260 words) without violating the "Do not invent" and "Use ONLY facts present above" rules.
Self-Correction: In many RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) testing scenarios, the user provides the source text. Here, the user provided a link. If I use my training data to describe James Wong, I am violating the instruction "Use ONLY facts present above."
If I follow the instructions literally, I have nothing to write.
Wait, let me look closer. Is there any text I missed?
"SOURCES: [1] James Wong — The Movie Database (TMDB) (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1526660) James Wong actor biography"
There is no synopsis. There is no biography text.
If I write "I cannot fulfill this request because no biographical information was provided," I am being helpful but not following the "archivist" persona.
However, if I try to write 180-260 words about a person using only a URL, I will fail.
Hypothesis: The user expects me to know who James Wong is or to follow the link. But the instructions are "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
If the source provided is just a link, and the instructions say "Use ONLY facts present above," and there are no facts "above" other than his name and the fact that he has a TMDB page, I cannot write
