Goof Additon Declined Because Couldn't be Verified Even With Source Material Listed!
It seems some people are just really stupid or just want to be jerks. In reference to IMDb update receipt #220608-050144-694000, I listed two new goofs, and like I have been doing for the entire Medici series so far, I always list a source for my goof. So far for series two I have been using the book, "Magnifico The Brilliant Life and Violent Times of Lorenzo De' Medici. I go through the index or the Medici family tree to come up with the information to support my goof addition. On this particular receipt, they declined both goof additions, not because of artistic license, which is still a cheap excuse not to approve the goof, but "Unable to verify." Horse Hockey! I gave you the reference down to page number. Don't go turning down a goof addition just because your too cheap to have the book to refer to. I don't make things up and you people at IMDB have approved plenty of goof additions in the past.
Later,
Dave

Hi e8n2 -
As this series is a fictionalized production of the family, it has artistic license and may not perfectly reflect the historical reality. Our preference is to disallow discrepancies between fact and fiction because these production changes are usually made for dramatic reasons. As such, the items you submitted are instead better suited as Trivia items on the applicable episode title page for the series.
Once you have resubmitted the items as Trivia, our editors will take another look.
I hope this helps!

”Unable to verify” is just a few generic terms that IMDb uses. They never really ”explain” anything (if something is rejected). That’s just how it is.
( I personally feel that Trivia is usually a best place to list ”historical errors”. Many people probably don’t actively read Goofs anyway. )
