How do I add credit for tv shows other than adding the info myself?
My name is listed in the cast section of the show. I added the credits myself in my profile but I want it to be professional not self submitted. I cant find this info anywhere.

If so, what is your IMDb page and what credits are involved?
If not, can you please post a screen capture here so we can see what you are referring to?

Also, it looks like you have one of your credits as Susan Reilly (II) at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm7623033/, although you are listed as an actor there instead of an actress.
Are all three of these pages you?
The pages can be merged, but please indicate whether you normally should be credited as Susan Reilly without the middle initial, or as Susan E. Reilly with the middle initial. Please let us know the situation, and someone will be able to advise you.

Also, on the two "Wicked Attraction" episodes and the forthcoming film Shifting Grounds, how did your credit appear or will it appear: "Susan Reilly" or "Susan E. Reilly"?
I would like to try to see what went wrong with the last submission, or if it might not even have been processed at all yet.

I would like to try to figure out what went wrong with your last data submission before giving you instructions for the next one. That's why I asked for you to post the content of your recent data submission.
Also, I asked how your credit appeared or will appear on the two "Wicked Attraction" episodes and the forthcoming film Shifting Grounds: "Susan Reilly" or "Susan E. Reilly"?

Thank you for getting back to me. The first link (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5430710/ ) is not me but I see that the "wicked attraction" credits have been added to it. The second link (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6734562/) is me but I added all of the information. The third link (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm7623033/) I have no idea where it came from but the credit is mine. Here is the link to my profile that I would like to be updated:

However, please tell me how your credit appeared or will appear on the two "Wicked Attraction" episodes and the forthcoming film Shifting Grounds: "Susan Reilly" or "Susan E. Reilly"?
I understand what credits need to be moved to where, but I'm not going to post the instructions until you specifically confirm the form of name under which your name appeared on the two "Wicked Attraction" episodes. And if you don't know how your credit will appear on Shifting Grounds, at least please say how you are requesting it to appear -- as Susan Reilly or Susan E. Reilly.

You wrote: "The name I want to use is: Susan E. Reilly for everything."
But that's not what I asked. I asked how your credit appeared or will appear on the two "Wicked Attraction" episodes and the forthcoming film Shifting Grounds.
The reason I ask is that for all IMDb credits, if a person's name is listed differently on screen from their regular IMDb name, there is supposed to be an (as ...) attribute to indicate how they were credited on screen.
Your "Wicked Attraction" and Shifting Grounds credits showed up on the pages of Susan Reilly (I) at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5430710/, and Susan Reilly (II) at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm7623033/.
So that implies that somebody -- the person who submitted those credits to IMDb -- thought that those credits were credited under the name "Susan Reilly" with no middle initial.
They may have been right or they may have been wrong -- maybe you really were credited with your middle initial. They may have known that it was you, Susan E. Reilly, or maybe they didn't know. Either way, that's not the issue.
The question is: What name appeared or will appear on screen in those credits? Not what name you want to use, not what you would have preferred to appear on screen, but what name actually did appear on screen.

I understand. I just heard back from the director of Shifting Grounds movie and he submitted me as Susan Elizabeth Reilly. The movie was submitted to Sundance but I don't have a copy of it yet. How would that be listed?

First, let's merge Susan Reilly (II) into Susan E. Reilly.
Go to http://www.imdb.com/name/nm7623033/ and click "Edit page".
On the next screen, on the Name Correction or Merge line, select "Add correction". Scroll down and click "Continue".
On the next screen, there will be a blank space in which to enter the corrected name. Enter it as:
Reilly, Susan E.
Un-check the box labeled "Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Susan Reilly)'". (This is why I kept asking how you were credited on Shifting Grounds; you are un-checking the box because you are not credited on that film as "Susan Reilly".)
In the Explanation box, enter "I am Susan E. Reilly, and the only role listed on this page was played by me and will be credited under my full name Susan Elizabeth Reilly. All of the data on both the Susan Reilly (II) page and the Susan E. Reilly page refers to me, and so the pages should be merged under the name Susan E. Reilly."
Click "Check these updates".
On the next screen, you will receive two warnings. One will say, "You are about to merge two separate name pages into one. Are you sure you want to merge this person with Reilly, Susan E.? ..." That's what you want, so check the box marked "Warning understood, go ahead anyway."
The other warning will say, "By unticking the box to preserve existing credits, you are implying they are incorrect. ..." The existing credit is incorrect, so check the box marked "Warning understood, go ahead anyway" here as well.
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, but in the meantime please save the e-mailed receipt for your data submission.
Once the Shifting Grounds credit shows up on your main name page at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6734562/, it will still be necessary to correct it to indicate that you were credited as "Susan Elizabeth Reilly" on that film, and also to move your reportedly uncredited roles on "Wicked Attraction". Either I or another contributor will deal with those corrections in a later message here.
Good luck!

The bad news is that once again, something went wrong. The credit is shown with an (as Susan Reilly) attribute even though it wasn't supposed to happen that way. Can you please post your last full data submission here on this message board? You can copy it out of the receipt you would have received from IMDb by e-mail immediately after sending it in. Also, please include the submission reference number -- it's an 18-digit number that will look something like 150123-123456-789000.
I would like to use the submission to try to find out why the (as Susan Reilly) attribute was included.
There are other corrections that still need to be dealt with, but I ran into a problem while testing one of them and started a separate thread to request help from the staff for that. So I will follow up once that other problem is resolved.
