Is there an option to include more reason to a declined contribution?
New to contributing here and was once told it's easy to add to imdb and hard to try to correct/fix mistakes. With that knowledge, I've been trying to read rules and follow to the best of my ability so I can avoid the process of removing mistakes.
I understand there may be a high volume of contributions in the queue, but I’ve had several submissions declined and, even after resubmitting with additional information, they were not accepted.
I think it would be very helpful if there were an option to provide more specific feedback beyond “Unable to verify” or “More Evidence Required.” Additional insight into the reason for a decline would help contributors like myself better understand what types of sources are needed, especially for corrections that are more difficult to verify with the lack of suitable evidence currently available to prove the edit.
This would also save time, as it would allow contributors to better target their search and avoid repeated unsuccessful submissions. If there is already guidance available on the site, I would love being directed to it so I can avoid spending time on edits that I know are incorrect but lack imdb standard supporting evidence.

If a contribution is declined you can take the contribution reference number and place it here https://imgur.com/a/sfquwqy Click load. Then click Add evidence. If you have a screen capture https://imgur.com is very helpful. Then you can resubmit.
