Clarification of guidelines for cast self credits of people introduced by spoken name
One of the items in my contribution https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/240928-204528-066000 was declined:
ACTOR ADDITION
Davies, Greg (IV) Self - Terms and Conditions 38Your Comment
“”urn:alx:doc:937a93d2-a8ca-450d-ba84-56832d6ccf2d:b46ae64b-7dba-4338-92cd-cfb735806068 screenshots of the end credits, on-screen captions and subtitles of announcements with time markers. Cast end credits are on pages 1 to 2. Pages 30 to 51 show when people were name on-screen or announced by the narrator or a host.
ReasonDoes not meet contribution guidelines.Your contribution has been declined.Please review our submission guidelines.
- For documentaries or talk shows where the people appearing on camera are generally not in a separate cast list, their first onscreen appearance where they are identified either by a caption or spoken name is used to determine the order. Any narrator/host listed in opening or closing credits or the title itself would be treated as the first cast member, and would precede people identified only within the documentary or talk show.
Page 48 of the PDF submitted as evidence - screenshots of all the end credits, on-screen captions naming people, subtitled where people are introduced by spoken name - is this screenshot:
Please explain which contribution guideline this does not meet - it seems to me to be covered by the section of the guideline quoted above. That is fairly far down a long page and the case does not seem to be covered by other pages for cast credits and order numbers so perhaps common wording or links between the page are needed.
I have submitted the credit again -https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/240929-203936-219000 - this time with the guideline paragraph quoted above included in the explanation.
If the series continues as it did last season there will be eleven more episodes this season with a credit of this kind so I would like to know if the future credits will be eligible and if so what evidence is needed for them before I spend more time capturing screenshots to include in the evidence with the credit.

Perhaps "Terms and Conditions" needs explanation. I see that it is a description of the segment. I guess it is not entirely clear what the description should be.

Hi @owenrees -
This was a processing error, I can see it is now approved and live.
Cheers!
