character name correction declined - unable to verify
I noticed a simple grammatical error in a character name on a Jack Benny Program page
(tt0613576). The show features a neighborhood club called the Beverly Hills Beavers, and
the character played the Secretary for the club. It was listed as "Beaver's Secretary". The
apostrophe was mis-placed, so I posted the change to "Beavers' Secretary". The error was
minor (not to mention common among the semi-literate), and it was still wrong. The response
from the ever-knowing IMDb Bot was 'unable to verify'. It is not something that can be
verified via the episode itself, as character names are not listed on the credits. It is a simple
English-language matter. ( The possessive form for a group called the Beavers is Beavers'.
Maybe English is the Bot's second language!) Note to human: please fix this. The submission
which was declined is #221002-175242-511000 . Thanks in advance. J<

Hi @gerald_jones_phd -
This character credit has now been updated and the change should be live on the site shortly.
Cheers!
