Fixing inappropriate "About the Author" info

Is there a way to fix the "About the Author" information? This one is particularly egregious.

Looks like that is populating from an author photo that was uploaded with all that junk in the “image credit” field. I flagged the image as spam; perhaps others will do so as well and “about the author” will be cleaned up as a result.

I usually send them a note: "See "Who Should/Shouldn't be Combined" on the HelpThing:Author page: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/HelpThing:Author "

But this one is so bad that I agree with flagging the image instead.
