Adding credits for old shows without knowing the episodes

I was in several episodes of various soap operas in the 80's and 90's but I don't know which episodes or even the exact year. How do I get the credits added on IMDb? I've tried submitting with a photo or clip in the cases where I have the footage, but it always gets denied.

It is possible to submit a credit to the series without specifying episodes if you include a year range after the character name, but only if there aren't episodes listed for those years.

For example:

Jean (1985-1986)

If you have submitted but it's been declined as "unable to verify", the problem may be more with evidence. If you don't have dates, it's hard to prove the details.

If you don't have dates or even years for the episodes, it's going to be difficult. But if you already have a page, I'd suggest noting the appearances in a trivia item or part of your biography.
