IMDb staff: Special help needed with a specific set of keywords

IMDb Staff (@Bethanny):

The contributor @DataOrganizer and I could use some help with some mass cleanup of a specific set of keywords listed below. More than a year ago, DataOrganizer made some mass manual edits of keywords, but since DataOrganizer speaks English as a second language, the resulting keywords were not always ideally formatted.

We request that IMDb staff please make the following mass mergers. There is no need to set up these keywords for auto-conversions, since these keywords will not be used again in the future. But staff could save us a huge amount of time by making these mergers on a mass basis.

Keywords Proposed for Mass Mergers

deceased-by-female-police-officer  -->  killed-by-female-police-officer 

deceased-by-male-police-officer  -->  killed-by-male-police-officer 

female-police-officer-deceased   -->  female-police-officer-killed


female-soldier-deceased  -->  female-soldier-killed 

male-police-officer-deceased   -->  male-police-officer-killed 

man-deceased   -->  man-killed 

police-officer-deceased   -->  police-officer-killed 

soldier-deceased   -->  soldier-killed 

woman-deceased  -->   woman-killed 

female-tactical-team-member-deceased  -->  female-tactical-team-member-killed 

female-police-officer-uniformed  -->  female-uniformed-police-officer 

female-soldier-knockout   --> female-soldier-knocked-unconscious 

female-police-officer-knockout   -->  female-police-officer-knocked-unconscious 

female-tactical-team-member-knockout   -->  female-tactical-team-member-knocked-unconscious 

female-tactical-team-member-fight  -->  female-tactical-team-member 

female-soldier-fight  -->  female-soldier

After those changes are made by IMDb staff, @DataOrganizer will go through the resulting keywords and make some further manual cleanup editing. 

And on that note, @DataOrganizer has created a new IMDb account today, but that account apparently does not have privileges to edit keywords. What is the best way to gain keyword editing privileges for a brand new IMDb account?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for this request, which i fully agree to.

My account was not made today, but a week ago. I just can't contribute keywords since today.

Maybe my contributions where too overwhelming for IMDb staff to manually review in a probationary period.

If so, i am very sorry for that.

@DataOrganizer

Now that the mass mergers have been made, it will be up to you to manually edit the keywords that should use different words other than "killed."

I realize that you don't currently have the ability to edit keywords. This may be a temporary problem -- there are other threads on this board the past 12 hours indicating multiple problems with submitting contributions to the IMDb website.

I recommend waiting a few days to see if you regain the ability to edit keywords. If not, you should start a new post on this message board asking how you can regain that ability.

I try to correct the words in the next days.

Thank you for your suggestions, engagement and your advice!

Great job!

It works perfectly!

I made a first list and already corrected some of the keywords.

Also i found and corrected some more lost keywords of my "beloved" :-) personal creations where the keyword "deceased" was appended.

I think I'll be done with this work in a few days.

Please let me know if there should be any request to restore the keywords "(fe)male-police-officer", that have been changed by me, back to their original terms "police(wo)man" or "(female-)cop" - and tag me in that discussion.

You can tag me in any other discussion, too, if you want to know my thoughts on it.

This was a great teamwork!

Thank you & Cheers.

I also changed "deceased" to "killed" in these keywords:

fbi-agent-deceased (1 title)

female-fbi-agent-deceased (6 titles)

female-terrorist-deceased (8 titles)

female-prison-guard-deceased (3 titles)
