Solved

I'm really on the verge of going insane.

And IMDb has done it again. Another verified (!) addition rejected, claiming they couldn't verify it. Seriously? What more can you do than provide the evidence directly?

This time: the attempt to add a new episode to "Bosetti will reden" (https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt21946230/reference/). Everything was accepted—except the publication date of February 4, 2026. Because someone mistakenly marked this series as ending in 2025 on IMDb. That's wrong, which I've documented and commented on. But please, here it is again: https://www.zdf.de/kommentare/bosetti-will-reden-102 - there are now four episodes this year. Do we need any more proof?

Seriously, this is ridiculous. It's like going in circles because the same crap keeps happening. For 25 years. It's like constantly running into a brick wall. For a film buff like me, IMDb is one of the most important sites on the internet and one of the best things the internet has ever brought. But in the end, it takes so much energy that at some point it just becomes too much to bear. Albert Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I don't want to go insane. But I keep doing the same thing here and hoping for different results.

Hi. I can ( https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/260204-222927-110000 ) - but important is finally, that the mistake will be fixed.

I've already tried a second time - but still waiting since 3 days: https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/260207-225923-800000

best,

Marcus

@MarcusCryon- Thank you for posting the reference and the links! 

I understand the frustration especially given that you take the time and effort to contribute data to IMDb, which we truly appreciate. I have provided your feedback to the appropiate team. 

As per this title, the incorrect end year has been removed. The contribution above has been approved and the changes are live on the site. 

Cheers!
