I have a big problem with my submission for Doctor Who.

Sorry if this is my first time using this. I started to sign up on the community boards yesterday so I can figure out how to use it. I've read all of it of what you were saying and is this how I do it?

@hamstringq​ The 260522-000258-904000 number should be enough to get you some help from the IMDb staff. Only the IMDb staff can use that to look up your data submission, but they probably will do so and at least give you some kind of response.

https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/history/ is a link to one's own data submissions. If I click that link, it will show me what I have submitted to IMDb, and if anyone else clicks that link, it will show them what they submitted to IMDb.

At this point, the best thing for you to do is wait for a response from the IMDb staff.

Hello hamstringq

I have checked the provided submission and the credits are being rejected due to lack of evidence. The provided evidence is not enough to verify this uncredited credit additions, as we mention in our Help Articles in this case we would like:

Receipts

Contracts

Call sheets

Pay stubs 

Third-party news articles

@Fran​ 

Yeah, that's what's strange to me. I never had any problems back in the day with my submissions when I was submitting uncredited animators from TV shows, but this one does. And it's not a "lack of evidence", it's something else. I also found more evidence from yesterday when I searching through my contribution history to see where I made my first error.

Proof: https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/250910-003903-211000

I have reviewed and same as the others this submission 250910-003903-211000 was rejected, there was no evidence provided. Same as other contributors and everyone, evidence will be required, even more if you are adding uncredited credits, it is likely that you will keep getting rejections without proper evidence. 

You can take a look at the Help Articles and re submit with valid supporting evidence.

Excuse my grammar, please. Yes, I did made a post that did not have any evidence from last year. And I did used to post evidence images in my credits and I done that too. What I’m trying to tell you from my last post is that I have an error that shows one of my credits that got approved and my other credits “not approved”, so now I’m trying to figure out how to fix this problem by getting all my other credits accepted. 

Is it better if I post the evidence of the image here on the message board to make this more easy and simple?

I checked the submission and there was one approved credit, however was removed already since there was no evidence, we do not allow uncredited credits with no evidence.

Regarding the evidence that is actually the problem, the Image that you use as evidence is not considered valid evidence, as I mentioned above, the best evidence for uncredited credits are:

Receipts

Contracts

Call sheets

Pay stubs 

Third-party news articles

You have to re submit and provide valid evidence for the uncredited credits.

I appreciate the advices you're giving me, but that's exactly the steps I did to show valid evidence, actually. I've been re-submitting it for a few times recently and nothing worked. The only evidence that I've showed was from a Reddit site where Ian and Ross (the VFX team from Framestore that made the Doctor Who 'Lux' episode) did a Q&A together about how they made the animation sequence happened. From the comments I've searched, one user asked "who were the animators that worked on this?" and Ian commented the list of animators that were apart of 2d animation sequence. There was no third-party news articles that talked about the animators' names and that was it. 

No offense, did one of you guys deleted my credit that has the "Neil Boyle" on it? 

The credits are not valid based on the provided evidence, therefore it can not be listed. A reddit conversation is not a valid piece of evidence. 

@Fran​ Alright, that's all I needed to say. I'll figure it out somehow. Thank you and thanks for trying.

@hamstringq​- Hi! You can re-submit it and provide the link for our staff to further review. If you also have other evidence as highlighted by Fran above, you can also add it. 

@Maya​ 

Afternoon. Just asking, is one of the other IMDb staff members still reviewing my links or are some of them still helping other users with their problems? I'm just being patient.

@hamstringq​ - You can re-submit the credit with the other supporting links (not the reddit one) and these will be reviewed by our staff accordingly. 

@Maya​ 

Ok, then I already did that. Just asking.

@Maya​ Any updates?

@hamstringq​ - Can you post the 18-digit submission reference number?

@Maya​ Yep. 

@hamstringq​ - Thank you! I can see that these were rejected because of the lack of supporting evidence. As we mentioned above, when you submit credits, we recommend to include the evidence on the explanation box. 

@Maya​ Sure, no problem. I was having a bit of a hard time getting complete evidence from many different sources for such a long time and it was driving me nuts. No offense to the way you guys handle the website though. I'm just glad someone understands what my problem is. Hopefully my credits get sorted out.

Hello hamstringq

Can you help us posting the 18-digits submission reference number for the contributions? to take a look for you!

You can find the submission number in your Contribution History page.

Hello hamstringq

This is the same credit submissions that we have rejected before due to the same reason, no valid evidence is provided, therefore they won't be approved.

Yep, I already know that. I've been trying it many times. I don't know if you'll remember this, but can I show you a visual effects person's website who've worked on this show before, that posted the actual evidence in the credits? 

The submissions have not been approved since you have not been able to provide valid evidence for us to approve the credits. You can re submit and give us the right supporting evidence so we can check for you.

I've resubmitted with evidence this time. Already submitted it right now.

@Fran​ 

Any updates?

@Fran​ 

Sorry if I'm messaging you a few times, but I was waiting for your response to see if my credits came in or not. I didn't check the contribution, so I won't know if it actually got in or not.

@hamstringq​ - Do you have the re-submission reference number?

@Maya​ 

Yes I do.

https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/edit?load=260731-223557-667000

@hamstringq​ - Thank you! Taking a look, this is the same evidence previously provided, just as Fran mentioned above. You will need to provide valid evidence and you can re-submit. 

I appreciate the source very much, thank you, but there's more than two animators that helped made the animated Mr. Ring-A-Ding sequence before.

List: Michael Schlingmann, Gary Dunn. Carlos de Faria, Simon Swales (assistant animator), Sofia Llobregat, Daniella Marsh, James Wilson, Ian Spendloff, David. Lochhead, and Julien Van Wallendael. 

They were terribly uncredited and not recognized for one of their talents.

I couldn't tell who animated the 3d version of Mr. Ring A Ding since this was made by Framestore, but I do know some 2d animators that made the hand-drawn animation though.
