Dubbing mixer credits constantly rejected
Every time I submit one of my dubbing mixer credits recently it gets rejected as "Does not meet contribution guidelines." but I have no idea what guidelines it's failing.
#220308-163011-197000
Note this is the UK definition of "dubbing mixer", which means it's the original sound mix in the original language, and I was credited on the original broadcast.
This seems to happen every time I submit dubbing mixer credits, but similar submissions for re-recording mixer (for US shows) always get approved instantly.
Any idea why this happens, and what I can do to get my credits approved?

There have been some problems with ”dubbing mixer” credits in the past. Dub credits are not usually accepted and many times the so-called ”dub credits” happen after the main credits (they’re added to DVD/Blu-rays, and also streaming sites - but they’re not usually considered as a part of the original credits). Not sure about this case, though.

Yeah unfortunately the two are completely different, "Dubbing mixer" is the UK term for the original re-recording that goes up on the main credits, but as you say IMDB thinks a dubbing mixer is some who dubs the mix of another language.
I've tried adding notes to previous submissions explaining that, even linking to the show's credits on the BBC iPayer and taking screen-grabs as proof but this seems to get ignored, leaving me unable to add correct credits.

Hi heyaudio -
I have now approved these recent credit updates and they should be live on the site shortly. Going forward, if you are submitting credits with verifiable evidence links (such as call sheets, contracts, credit roll screen grabs) and these submissions are continuing to be declined, let us know the 18-digit submission reference numbers so our staff can investigate further.
Cheers!
