"(archiveFootage)"

@Michelle​ 

Hi Michelle,

You asked me to report any newly added credits; unfortunately I've just had to correct another eight across these three submissions:

220810-212441-859000

220810-212513-172000

220810-212607-036000

Thanks

Hi tom_wake-

Since we reached out to the user and the problem persists, we have now taken further steps to avoid this happening again.

Cheers!

Hi @tom_wake -

Thanks for reporting! I have now fixed it and reported the error.

Cheers!

Thanks @Bethanny​ 

I've noticed one of the common connections for these titles is documentaries about Russian history, and that in many cases, long-dead members of the British and Russian royal families are being given cast credits with no "archive footage" attribute at all - for example, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13131686/fullcredits/

I don't know how much extra detail you can see at your end, but I wonder if you might have any insight as to whether it's the same person? It's simple enough to deduce that a 2018 credit for Queen Victoria wouldn't be new footage (although it's not very practical to keep constantly checking all these pages for new credits), but in the case of royals who are still alive (e.g. Prince William) there's just no way of telling the difference.

@tom_wake​ Hey! Yes it is the same person, we had already taken action to avoid it happening, on this occasion they were processing errors which I have reported, it shouldn't be happening any more.

Cheers!

Hi @tom_wake,

Thanks for the report.

I have corrected the attribute and will check if there is any more examples of this badly formatted attribute as well.

I hope this helps!

Hi, @Ozzy​:

Shouldn't the (archive footage) attribute be in the attribute field instead of the character field?

@ljdoncel​ Hi!

Yes I have fixed that now.

Cheers!

Thank you very much, Bethanny.

Cheers!

Hi @Bethanny 

Here's another new one:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0968581/fullcredits

Perhaps all three of these threads could be merged together?

1 - https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/archivefootage/62b991201186097eca946217

2 - https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/archivefootage/65246d6be82d554bfb13c45b

Thanks

I have fixed the badly formatted credit, the changes will be live on the site shortly!

@Fran​ Thanks Fran; sadly the wider issue is still not fixed, as I have spotted two new occurrences of the same issue:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30743141/fullcredits (x3 credits)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6947440/fullcredits

Could I also repeat my request to have all three of my threads merged?

Many thanks

Hi @tom_wake​ -

I have now combined the separate threads.  I have also corrected the credits you reported above and the changes should be live on the site shortly.

Thanks again!

Thanks @Michelle !

Has the issue been fixed, or is it likely to keep happening?

Hi @tom_wake​ -

We did send an outreach to the contributor responsible and did take some additional steps on our end to help prevent the incorrect formatting/usage.

If you are continuing to see these types of incorrect listings, post them here and I can then investigate further.

Thanks again!

Hi @Michelle​ 

I'm afraid this is still happening:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6395182/fullcredits

@tom_wake​ Hi! Thank you so much for reporting. Since email was sent and there was no change in the submissions we have taken further steps to stop the submissions completely.

Cheers!
