That sounds like more work than your average vandal wants to do. I
suspect most cases will be like this one probably is; mistaken
identification.
I have photos of a couple of celebrities that lack free pictures, but
I'm not 100% sure of the identification, so I don't upload them. The
photos could simply be of look-alikes.
