#251020-005102-708000 - "We believe your contribution contained factual inaccuracies"?

In the entry for Hide and Peak (1956) at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150909/ I noticed that there was an incorrectly punctuated cast entry: Katnip, Herman's Cousin #2 | Raymond, Sid | (voice) (uncredited) This was apparently meant to indicate that Sid Raymond voiced two characters in this cartoon -- Katnip (a cat) and Herman's Cousin #2 (a mouse). But since Raymond was playing two characters, I submitted a correction (#251020-005102-708000) for the punctuation so it would read as follows: Katnip/Herman's Cousin #2 | Raymond, Sid | (voice) (uncredited) And I provided an explanation: "Use slash to separate characters. Katnip and Herman's Cousin #2 are two completely separate characters. Katnip is a cat, and Herman's cousins are all mice." This correction was rejected with the following explanation: "Factually incorrect. Your contribution has been declined. We believe your contribution contained factual inaccuracies." Now, I'm not an expert on cartoon voices, so I don't know which actor really voiced which character in this cartoon (they are all uncredited). But I can tell the difference between a cartoon cat and a cartoon mouse and know that they are two different characters. And, as it turns out, since I made that submission, Sid Raymond's cast credit in this cartoon has been deleted altogether, for no clear reason. Could the staff please take a look at this situation? And I would advise against using the "Factually incorrect. Your contribution has been declined. We believe your contribution contained factual inaccuracies" reason as it is particularly hostile. Most of the time when I get a rejection, it says something like "Your contribution could not be verified", which usually is incorrect too but is at least somewhat more polite.
