No Status

Adding credits declined multiple times

So I was adding the credits to this title https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18254170/ which is a reboot version of this title https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2241982/?ref_=rvi_tt, for some reason the cast credits and some other credits are being declined with this message, after the first time they were declined because of lacking evidence, "Duplicate

Your contribution has been declined.

The item you have submitted is exactly the same as a submission that you have already entered, which is still pending review by our staff.". This has happened 2 times already.

This is the ticket of the third time I have done this

#220220-110839-973000 
Note that I have waited till all of the contributions have been flagged as declined from pending status. Also, as evidence, I have posted the link for the cast and credits in the original game.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Richmond007-

For some of the credits, these were declined as duplicates because those specific credits were already pending and are now listed live on the title page.

Now, for the credits that were declined, it is likely that our editors were unable to verify the information and will need further evidence to help verify, as we cannot verify credits from another IMDb title page.

For more information on credit evidence, I encourage you to review our Help Guide.

In the meantime, concerning these separate title listings for the video games, you mentioned that "Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition" is a reboot, can you clarify the extent of the reboot?  More specifically, what are the differences between the original version and the definitive version?

(ie. complete rebuild/remake of the original, minor edits, different cast/crew, visual improvements, etc.)

You are welcome to resubmit the credits with more verifiable evidence and in the meantime, inquire on the differences between the versions. 

Thanks!

@Maya​ Thanks for clarifying. This is a "remastered" version of the video game. As any other remastered version of a video game this one has stylistic changes, changes to overall gameplay experience and a lot of additional content, mostly DLCs that did not come with the original game and had to be purchased seperately. The story, cast, and some other information should be the same for both. To understand what this means in terms of films, take for example the original Justice League movie and the Snyder's Cut version. Both are renditions of the same title. Hope this made sense. 

Edit - I can post a link to a video of the end credits of the game in question, if you need further evidence. Please let me know.

The post in question - https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/adding-credits-declined-multiple-times/621223e6116db439b711f9b2

I mentioned in a comment to the staff member that I would be posting a link to a video for further evidence that my submissions are in fact valid. I received no further communication so I am forced to make this post.

Again this is a link to the title in question -  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18254170/

TLDR - Multiple submissions were rejected stating lack of evidence. 

Submission number - #220220-110839-973000

Evidence - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIqrrAHwc6M This is a link to a video of the end credits of the video game (the title in question). 

PS - Multiple additions are pending as not all cast were added. I would be adding them one by one after the ones I added in have been approved.

Anyway, thanks in advance.
