Answered: Maddie's credit showing as self, not actress

The show is listed as Family, not Documentary, so I know it's not that. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I am trying to get this over into the Actress category so it's not lost in the midst of Self.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27643536/

Thank you in advance!

Jrassic: The issue is that this title at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27643536/ has the keyword "tv-special". Notwithstanding how the phrase "TV special" may be used in other contexts, on IMDb a TV special is assumed to be a nonfiction program and all cast members are put in the Self category by default.

I may be wrong, but looking at this title on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5rjbfAPB64), it actually does appear to be nonfiction and the Self designation may be accurate.

However, if this is in fact a fictional program with some of the roles being played by actors, the solution would be to submit a deletion of the "tv-special" keyword.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

FYI, this is not a fiction series. It’s listed as “family” because it involves real children. There are no actors in the series. Maddie Moate travels the United States and has local children show her the sights band interesting aspects of their hometown.
