Help correcting cast list order

For the movie Love & Anarchy  I submitted a request to correct cast list order. The character Tripolina played by Lina Polito is one of the three main characters of the film. I was puzzled that she doesn't show in the cast list, but found she shows in Full Cast And Crew and that she is ordered at the very bottom (#26). My submission to move her up to #3 was declined, "unable to verify". The ID for my submission is #221227-073107-828000. What verification do I provide so that she is listed up higher and actually displays int he main cast? She doesn't NEED to be at #3, but should appear in the main cast, which is what I'm trying to accomplish. I took a screengrab of her name in the credits from the end of the movie.

But the credit you provide suggests that she is indeed listed at the end of the film's credits (the "and with" language). Can you provide any evidence that she's listed 3rd during the end credits?

Hi, Adam Cook. Your interest and effort in this matter is appreciated, thank you, but would you be so kind provide, if possible, a URL to where an excerpt of the part of the movie in which the credits sequence shows the cast can be streamed/downloaded? At the very least, could you describe exactly the way all the names are presented?

@jeorj_euler​  Streaming at Amazon Prime. Unsure if this URL will help. https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B074R7L9R1/ref=atv_dl_rdr?autoplay=1

European 70's movies often don't list credits the way modern ones do with a list. This one lists the two leads (Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melato), then lists some lesser characters, then has a screen titled "La Ragazza de Maison" with ten names, who are all the prostitutes in the brothel. Many of whom don't even have character names. Then finally lists Lina Polito with the screen I showed. So if you take that literally, yes, she is listed last, but the fact that she has a featured title card, (and that she has more than an hour screentime) should mean that she is listed in the main cast. As it is, she's behind 19 unnamed characters even though she's clearly one of the three leads.

Thanks for the additional information, but nothing can be done about this. I've suggested before that the database be upgraded in such a way as to have a data field that can store the amount of that a cast member occupies on screen or as a voice. If we tracked such data, then the way the names are listed on the public interface could be in an order that reflects presence.

IMDb can include her in the Stars  and Top Cast lists. Perhaps they will consider doing so based on your description. We are aware that casts in order of appearance or alphabetical order sometimes mean a lead actor is buried relatively deep in the cast list. This is somewhat unfortunate. We do have a separate system for indicating the lead actors via the "Stars" section, but this can only be amended internally by IMDb staff members. (Credit order)

@Peter_pbn​ That's interesting, I didn't know about that. It would seem warranted here.

@Bethanny​ Can you also solve this similar thread? https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/top-cast-of-the-dead-dont-die/61f058949ae52c4a6752390e?commentId=61f186ba23c1a32f12de26e7&replyId=61f1889d23c1a32f12de26f5 I agree with @rsbrux that Tilda Swinton deserves to be listed in "Stars" section of this movie.

@Bethanny​ It doesn't sound like this was an actual problem. She was credited in the correct position based on where the credit occurred.

@adrian​ I see Lina Polito was added to "Stars" list now (the problem that was solved was that), based on adam_cook_7472842's description, that seems like a correct action, so that was an actual problem which is solved now (adding it to Stars list doesn't change the full cast credit order)

@mbmb​ Yes! As you mention it does not change the credit order. @adrian if you check @Peter_pbn 's comment above you will see this is the reason we make the exception of showing them in the top stars, but again, not altering the credit order. Cheers!

@Bethanny​  It probably helps, for clarity sake, if you state what you actually fixed. The original problem was not an actual issue but because of where you replied, it seemed like you "fixed" the non-problem.
