CAN'T CORRECT FALSE CREDITS
I just sent in a correction for the Plastic Man Comedy / Adventure Show. IMDb automatically alters it and creates false credits. Specifically, the credits appear in gangs of six. I only wrote two scripts that appear in two different gangs. This gives the appearance that I wrote 10 scripts I did not writer. The only episodes I wrote (story & Script) for the series were "The Minuscule Seven" and "What-Bam! Beware of the Clam".
I would prefer to have two missing credits than 10 false ones. But I suspect that if I try to delete them they won't allow it because there are some correct credits within the false ones.
HOW DO I CORRECT THIS? I CANNOT DO IT THROUGH STANDARD CREDIT CORRECTION.

To clarify, you are referring to episodes like this:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10044566/fullcredits
Technically it is possible to add segment attributes to specify which parts each writer wrote, though I'm not sure if this is allowed if it isn't specified in the screen credits. Do you know how the screen credits appeared?

Yes, this is how the credit appears on my IMDb page:
Wham-Bam! Beware of the Clam!/Anthead/The Mysterious Robot Critic Caper/There Is Nothing Worse Than A Stony Curse/The Day the Ocean Disappeared/Never Retire With Mr. & Mrs. Van Pire (1979)
Although I haven't seen it, it likely appears as a gang credit on the series.
The IMDb credit it pointless and confusing. They list all 16 x 6 credits on my page. That's 96 credits. I wrote two of them so I am effectively given 94 false credits. If there isn't, there should be a way to clarify this somehow. It seems to be a flaw in IMDb's system.

I added these credits. You are credited on all the episodes as shown. You can add the attribute (credit only) but you do appear in all the credits so they should not be deleted.
