Duplicate episodes (The Michael Knowles Show, The Ben Shapiro Show)

@Michelle​ I haven't cleaned them up yet. I edited the original post to show the originals, and I marked the duplicates as such.

For about a year, someone has been posting these duplicate episode pages to the series, sometimes days after the originals were posted. I spend a lot of time merging these pages.

As you can see, the originals do not include the episode numbers in the titles. The duplicates do include them—that's why the system isn't stopping this contributor from adding them, even though they already exist.

If there's even a slight difference in the title, the system will allow the duplicate submission. Only when the titles are identical does the system block such submissions.

Find out who submitted the duplicates, and you'll know who to talk to.

@jay_spirit​ Hi-

I have now merged this duplicated episodes into the already live ones. The changes are already live on the site.

Thanks again for reporting these!

Cheers!

@Michelle @Maya 

More duplicates have appeared.  I've spent a year doing the unnecessary work of merging the duplicates with the originals. You may want to talk to the person who is submitting them.

Ten more duplicate episodes of The Ben Shapiro Show appeared today. It's even more time-consuming to list them here than it is to just merge them myself, so I did so. Here are the reference numbers:

@jay_spirit​ Solved, I thought it was one of the shows I had disabled. Anyways, now it has been

@jay_spirit @Michelle I made a quick page where one can search for an IMDB ID to see if I was the one that added the title, it should make it easier to let me know if I should disable uploading to some podcast page.

Just insert the imdb id (ttXXXXXX) and press the search button and it will let you know.

Ha, I love it!

All of the episodes down to 2017 seem to be duplicated.

@ind3​ Could you specify two duplicate episode ID's? Because I created that general Podcast page, and all the episodes I uploaded are from their Spotify page https://open.spotify.com/show/2D3UMGJACLv45osgQTMW6J. If there are duplicates there are two options:

- The creators of the podcast uploaded duplicates to their own podcast page leading to double uploads not being caught by IMDb since they are uploaded in parallel

- Someone else uploads episodes for the podcast in parallel with my program leading to duplicates

My program fetches new episodes every 4 days and uploads them if the podcast is recently active (last episode more recent than 7 days), otherwise, 14 days in between uploading to spread out the uploading over a given period.

@Nomissimon10​

The episodes from 2017 to 2024 seem to be fine, but there are three or four pages for each episode from 2008-2017. For example:
