Eric Murphy (XII) is my correct page.

Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate (2024) & Megamind Rules! (2024– ) are the two pages the credits have been incorrectly placed on.

The credit of Blue Mackerel on both pages need to be moved from Eric Murphy (XIV) to Eric Murphy (XII)

I have employment agreements if necessary.

Eric: It appears that there is nothing on the Eric Murphy (XIV) page at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15879436/ other than those two credits in the "Megamind' projects. That will make this easier to resolve, since Eric Murphy (XIV) is not a separate person with his own career, just a duplicate page for yourself.

To fix this, go to the page for Eric Murphy (XIV) at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15879436/. Click "Edit page".

On the next screen, on the Name Merge line, select "Add merge". Scroll down and click "Continue".

On the next screen, there will be a blank line on which to enter your corrected name. Enter it as:

Murphy, Eric (XII)

Un-check the box marked "Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Eric Murphy)'". It's not relevant to your situation.

In the Explanation box, enter something like this: "I am Eric Murphy (XII), and some of my credits have been mistakenly put on a separate page as Eric Murphy (XIV). All of the credits listed under the name Eric Murphy (XIV) were played by me, and there is no other data on the Eric Murphy (XIV) page other than credits which were played by me. Therefore, I am requesting that the Eric Murphy (XIV) page be merged into Eric Murphy (XII), since all data on both pages refers to the same person."

(The purpose of this explanation is to show that you really do mean to merge the two pages and are not making a mistake.) Click "Check these updates".

On the next screen, you will get a warning that says, "This merge has warnings, you must acknowledge each one before this merge will be accepted.

  • You are about to merge two separate name pages into one.

    Are you sure you wish to merge this name page into the page for Murphy, Eric (XII)? ..."

That's what you want, so check the box marked "Warning understood, go ahead anyway." Click "Re-check these updates".

On the next screen, your data should appear with a green background, and you should be able to click "Submit these updates".

Allow a few days for the correction to go through. Good luck!
