contribution rejection review request rejected with no indication review was made

Contribution #240908-154711-807000 - this is a resubmission asking what more is needed.

I'm working on correcting in this case several titles serial numbers that are assigned by cops TV via wiki. usually the 'title series number' is based only upon the spelled out state name like 'Nevada' followed by the serialized number of titles. Someone input wrong title series numbers that allow readers to know what 'number of total' is in the episode.  so far, only Texas and Florida have 'sub numbers' like 'fort worth, Texas' 'south Texas' etc. It takes a lot of research and verification before making the changes to fix the title name &numbers. 

Please advise how to document these updates to make it acceptable. The Cops TV wiki is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cops_(TV_program)#Episodes

Other sources for this include TheTVDB and TVmaze. 

Many of the fixes are just accepted, but identical submissions except for being different episodes are rejected.  Thank you for looking into this one example. Have a bit of a stack for season 12. 

Trivia, next is indiana series which TVDB has in episodes that remain uncorrected "in" lower case. the changes on those will be to expand from "in" to "Indiana" & sub series episode title.

Hi @Rusty767 -

Keep in mind we don't accept Wikis, TMDB or any other contributor based sites as evidence, if available link to official sources or TV Guides on your contribution to avoid it not being accepted.

Cheers!

I'm running thru all of CopsTV youtube videos and getting the screen caps of the day, using TVguide archive to fill in plot outlines and screen caps created from oldest posted stills. The numbering plan of course was done after syndication became a thing so like episode titles were serialized. Can the copsTV wiki that was created from source files be a bit of a reliable source? I lost access to gracenote when it went behind a commercial-use only paywall. CopsTV has moved from network to network pretty often. Eventually I'll add the fox nation seasons to IMDB.

I tried to contact family members of the deceased producers of Cops (tv) but they have no records. I had submitted #240910-020842-771000 which just wants to add 'houston' to the title and it is self documented in the video. The problem with near-30-year-old episode data is that the newspapers were giving 10-12 chars of room for the 'entry' on the what's-on grid. Is there what IMDB calls an authoritative source for 30 year old episodes? The submission above is covered by this newspaper but submissions on IMDB have no tool to upload screenshots, etc. https://imgur.com/a/lTsejuj the user interface for uploading an image for this forum refused to accept a small jpg or png file so created an imgur link. 

Thanks for your help with the copsTV things.
