How Do Pictures and Synopses End Up Attached to Unrelated Titles?

I have seen quite a few cases where pictures and synopses are attached to something completely unrelated. Sometimes I have moved them across to the correct titles, but on other occasions I am unable to find the correct title on the database.

Here is a good example. The British studio news and current affairs show "The Wright Stuff" has 13 photos, and only 3 of them are actually related to the series. Others are a complete mixture of different things, mostly from the USA, and some even look like they belong to people's pages rather than titles.

The Wright Stuff (TV Series 2000–2018) - Photo Gallery - IMDb

However does this happen??

I think it's this issue: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/multiple-spam-plot-outline-deletions-rejected-as-unable-to-verify/61848efb3a9f396d8e625478

Last post from @Michelle there: We identified the source of the data and previously took steps to prevent further similar listings, unfortunately, this specific plot was missed during the initial clean-up.

This might be another title missed during clean-up.

@mbmb ah, thank you for finding this thread, as I would never have found it, and it does indeed appear to be the same issue!

Hi Vande -

Thanks for reporting this Series title photo gallery, I have now removed the incorrectly tagged images and the changes should be live on the site shortly.

If you encounter other galleries with the same issue, you are welcome to post the gallery links on this thread and our staff can take a look.

Thanks again!

@Michelle Issue was not only "photo gallery", there were also plots, exactly like the thread I mentioned, pretty much same issue.

See for example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1542556/ (actual correct title where plot belongs: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451089/ )

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3327874/ - (taken from: (1) - (2) )

Every page with bad photo also has a bad plot (and also mostly running time). Can you locate these episodes you removed photos of now to delete also plots?

And found this another series now with same issue: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1056536/

See these episodes:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2354240/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2354270/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1268543/

irrelevant images, irrelevant plots, irrelevant running time.

I reported this spamming thing 1,5 years ago, it was dismissed by Grayson and nothing was done, @MovieCat reported it 8 months ago and although you say a clean-up was done this time, apparently there are still missed titles.

@Michelle Well, from this thread: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/dubious-images-on-american-tv-news-series/5f4a7c778815453dba05e3be

I found there are still some issues (and I might have missed some), so it seems the problem isn't (completely) solved.

-The photo attached to this episode has nothing to do with this talk show: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2922852/reference/

-The photo and the plot outline attached to this episode have nothing to do with this Dutch talk show: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5821614/reference/

-The photo attached to this episode has nothing to do with this talk show: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1987063/reference/

-A lot of the photos attached to this news show have nothing to do with it: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0231035/mediaindex
