A number of declined edits

I have five submissions that have been declined despite providing screenshots or videos in some cases as proof (in some other cases, I have not provided evidence but in some respects should be self-explanatory as to why the edit has been made). Hopefully these can be reviewed by staff again. I will do them in chronological order that I submitted them and the submission number.

 

220816-162201-051000 (submitted 2022-08-16)

Burgess Meredith should be deleted from the cast list of The United States Service Bands (1943). He is not credited as appearing in the short film, his appearance which as the listing states is from his role in The Rear Gunner (1943), and as such is ineligible for this cast list (uncredited and already listed under another project on IMDb).

 

220906-140628-388000 (submitted 2022-09-06)

For Upgrade (2018), I have been trying to edit the quote listed as the one that contains spoilers, where the quote as listed has the characters of Grey Trace and Stem speaking the same lines, and Cortez speaking the alternate lines. While my submission has made some stylistic edits, the most important aspects of the edits are that it is the last lines of the movie, and that the actor supplying the voice of Stem (Simon Maiden) should be removed as a speaker. For those familiar with the movie, Stem is a computer, and in this final scene Stem has taken over the body of the character Trey Grace, portrayed by Logan Marshall-Green, and as such the only voice that is heard between Trey Grace and Stem is that of Marshall-Green. I submitted a video of that scene posted on Dropbox as proof that is is only Marshall-Green speaking the lines currently attributed to both Marshall-Green and Maiden, and that it is the final lines (the end of the video shows the end title card).

 

220915-165418-729000 (submitted 2022-09-15)

I have been trying to add a currently unlisted actor to the cast list to complete said cast of Medicine for Melancholy (2008), namely Paul Paul aka S/L/B in the role of DJ 1 in the number 9 position. I suspect the problem is the actor name. I personally don’t know this person, but the above is how he is credited in the most comprehensive onscreen cast list, a video of the end cast list which I’ve posted on Dropbox (it is shown right at the beginning of the video on the first of two pages of the complete cast list).

 

221012-133641-579000 (submitted 2022-10-12)

For The Spiral Staircase (1975) under the Certificate section, I added in error certificate #24132 attached to the entry UK A. That certificate number is the MPAA certificate number which is already correctly attached to the USA:Approved entry. For whatever reason, the submission to the delete that certificate info attached to UK A has been declined despite me being the person who originally added it.

 

221107-161955-493000 (submitted 2022-11-07)

For the company Reel Vehicles [gb], I am trying to correct a typo on the word “vehicles” (currently spelled “vehciles”) for the entry associated to Yesterday (2019). I too originally added this item unaware that I misspelled vehicles until I saw it live.

Hi gene_chin-

 

Regarding 220915-165418-729000, in this case the name is badly formatted, if there is a nickname it should be listed Paul, Paul "S/L/B". Or listed as Paul, Paul with the attribute (as Paul Paul aka S/L/B).

 

Regarding 221107-161955-493000 it was rejected because the error had already been fixed.

 

All the rest I am afraid to say were errors while processing the data. I have resubmitted the cast deletion on your behalf and approved, for 220906-140628-388000 for the quote  the system won't let me upload on your behalf, please resubmit and post your submission reference here so I can approve. For the certificate I can see it has already been fixed.

 

Cheers!

Hi Bethanny:

Thanks for the response. I will provide an update on these items below in no particular order.

Thanks for resubmitting The United States Service Bands (1943) item for me, it which has now been corrected.

With The Reel Vehicles credit for Yesterday, I did notice that it had been corrected right after I posted the initial message. When I first checked after getting the declined message, it had not been fixed, but again was subsequently. Often I will get a declined response while in reality the item had indeed been changed to what I had submitted.

As for The Spiral Staircase (1975) certificate issue (the MPAA certificate info attached to the UK listing which is incorrect), I noticed that that one still has not been corrected. I have resubmitted it, that new submission being 221109-154927-397000

As for the Upgrade (2018) and Medicine for Melancholy (2008) items, I have made new submissions as per your suggestion, the respective submission numbers being 221109-154428-903000 and 221109-154818-985000

With all those in the initial post being dealt with, I have one more hopefully you can help me with which I submitted on 2022-11-07 and was subsequently declined.

221107-161300-900000

I am trying to delete Ross Matthews (I) from the cast list at the series level of Guy's Ultimate Game Night (2022). As you can see, all other cast that was submitted at the series level has been assigned to the specific episode in which he/she appeared. This is the incorrect person, the person who appears being Ross Mathews on episode 1.4 (he already assigned to that episode).

Thanks again Bethanny. Let me know if you require anything else from me to process these few remaining items.

@gene_chin​ All fixed!

Just the quote was fiving me some issues, I think it's just our system, could you check if it's ok now or just paste down here how it should go so I can manually input it.

Thanks!

Thanks Bethanny. All have now been correctly updated, including the one I added for Guy's Grocery Games, with the exception of the Upgrade quote. While it was updated to correct some of the stylistic edits I made as well as removing Simon Maiden as Stem as one of the speakers in the quote, the edit did not include the fact that it is the last lines of the movie. I have made one more submission to request that correction of adding [last lines], hopefully that will do the trick.

Thanks again Bethanny.
