@VonPunk​ thank you, it's good to hear from someone else who is experiencing similar issues.

I remember when the western expert and author Les used to have so many problems getting his stuff through, despite the fact that his expertise was so evident he had published books on the subject!  He used to get similarly frustrated on the old forum and think about stopping contributing, and that was years ago, so you would think things would have improved by now!

Similarly to you, I have not been having problems getting new stuff through, as I do add some daily episodes too.  But not much point keep adding stuff to the site, if the existing things are not accurate.

I think your idea of trusted contributors is brilliant and would really work.  I mean, even prisons full of criminals have trustees!

@Vande​ Thank you.

And yes, I had to reply so you know it wasn't just you. Having people like you on the site working hard for years to make it what it is, is great, even though we all work alone on it, all us rule following, accurate hard workers are all part of a great team and through this forum we inform and sharpen our knowledge to help millions of visitors source the information they are looking for, but we have to be happy and willing to do it, so I hope IMDb treats you kinder and you continue to do what you enjoy.

Hi VonPunk -

I just wanted to follow-up on your comments above, I'm sorry to hear that you are also experiencing declined submissions, and especially wherein you have taken efforts to provide solid evidence. 

If you continue experiencing these issues, I encourage you to  continue reporting them here in the community so that our staff can escalate them to the appropriate teams for investigation.  From my experience assisting you in the community, I have seen how valuable your contributions are to the site and I will continue to do my best to push for these improvements to help prevent these ongoing data processing errors.

@Michelle​ Thank you, I do acknowledge things sometimes do not run smoothly and having your help when that happens really lessens the frustration.

I always appreciate your help and will post up any issues as I go.

@Col_Needham​ 220410-010431-621000 This is a ludicrous one, as I even supplied the official BAFTA website listing all the nominees for the relevant year to show that this credit was attached to the wrong man!  I used to be able to get credits attached to the wrong person moved without any evidence, which I assumed was on trust because of my previous work, but now I can't even get it through with!

220410-181939-787000 I supplied the official website link of Democracy Now explaining the guest list and even that didn't get the credit moved to the correct person!

#220410-181501-377000 I supplied the official website of Dr. Steve Peters to prove that he is the same psychiatrist!  Maybe your staff member needs to combat their inner chimp while monitoring submissions!

220410-181152-404000 I supplied Sue Nelson's official website to show that the broadcaster is not the same person as the sculptor.

220410-112915-684000 I supplied articles on the Silent Twins to show that the Self credits for them do not belong to June Gibbons (I) the actress who has a different Date of Birth (+ death).  Oddly I successfully got the pictures moved across, but they have now reappeared on both the June Gibbons again.  I also cannot get the duplicate cast credit for The New Boy (2002) removed for June Gibbons (II), and these used to be really easy to do.

@Vande​  Thanks for these and sorry for the problems in processing them (and the other cases).  This provides enough data for us to follow-up with the team and update the processes which are clearly broken (sorry) here. 

@Vande​ @Col_Needham Holy Crap! 

These are terrible. Worse even than my own long list of declined submissions. 

There is simply no excuse for this level of incompetence. 

I really do feel your pain. 

I remember when this site was actually easy to use. 

I ask, again, who are these editors? And why are they not being held accountable for such bad work? 

@Michelle​ Thank you.  These must have been actioned based on @Col_Needham 's interaction, as they had all already been rejected on my

Your Contribution History (Beta)

page.  In some cases more than once, due to my trying different ways to get them through.

I'll keep monitoring and let you know if things don't at the least go back to the level they have been for years in my getting my well-researched corrections through.

Thanks @Vande​, yes, please do let us know if you continue observing these occurrences. 

@Michelle​ things are showing improvement, but now I've got them accepting my name corrections, but doing them the wrong way round!

220411-235701-863000

As mentioned on the BBC and the Guardian, both of which I supplied in the link, as well as many other websites, her name is Sylvia Nicol not Sylvia Nichols!   It was even spelt correctly on the screen in the Netflix Savile documentary.

Hi @Vande​ -

Thanks for the update, I'm glad to hear that you are seeing improvements.  Regarding the name corrections/merges, I'm not certain why the updates are being approved yet the names are being reversed.  I have alerted the appropriate team to investigate these occurrences further.

In the meantime, I have corrected the name text to "Sylvia Nichol" and it is now displaying correctly on the site.

Thanks again for your patience as we work through these issues!

@Michelle​ Thanks.  I have supplied the links again, to experiment and see if it does correct to Sylvia Nicol now.

Yes, it's worked.
