IMDb staff: Please approve this correction to a movie credit

IMDb Staff: I must have triggered some kind of block against any further edits to this film credit, since I needed to make several changes in a step by step process to get to a fully accurate credit, and I screwed up one of those steps, thus necessitating multiple contributions. 

Can you please approve the submission?

Here are the details.

ACTOR EDIT

Before
Mazzaferro, Joseph (I) Chris Chambers (as Chris Chambers)
After
Mazzaferro, Joseph (I) Filmmaker (as Anonymous)
Your Comment
I have watched the film and verified that the character is listed as Filmmaker and the actor as Anonymous. Here is a screenshot of the on-screen credits. https://imgur.com/mfCsaTD

Your contribution has been declined.We did not capture a specific reason during processing.

For full disclosure, I should note that some other unknown contributor indicated in the Trivia for this film that the character is named "Chris Chambers," but having viewed the film myself I can assure you that that name is never used a single time anywhere in the film. By all outward appearances, this seems to be a case of the actor deciding his character's name and listing it on IMDb after the film was released. Or it could be a contributor misinterpeting the character's name, since the same actor has that character name in another film he was in. At any rate, I don't think it's allowed to assign a name to a character after the film is released. Here, the only name given to this character is "Filmmaker" and the only acting credit is given to "Anonymous."

Hey keyword_expert!

 

The system actually detected all submissions for this as duplicates since it was uploaded several times before the first one was processed.

I have resubmitted on your behalf and approved.

 

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Thank you! I figured it was something like that. I wish there was a way to cancel pending contributions. The lesson I learned is if I realize a pending contribution is incorrect I should just wait for it to be approved first before trying to correct it.
