In Progress

Is this a bug with new gender controls?

I was trying to add a credit to this name page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13290694/

But whatever I choose it gives a warning:

here, I choose actor, it says "only has credits as an actress":

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​​ ​ ​ ​
choosing actress, then it says "does not have any existing credits in this section" (but there are)​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​​ ​ ​
I made the submission regardless, it's curiously pending unusually long, when all other items were approved instantly: 230320-050958-324000

Hi mbmb -

Thanks for reporting.  I have now approved the pending cast credit you referenced and it is now listed on the site.

Concerning the contribution Warning contradictions, this behavior is indeed odd and I have filed a ticket for the appropriate tech team to investigate.

Cheers!

@Michelle​ Thanks for re-submitting the credit, I see it was initially declined with a weird "Other" reason. And the same thing also happened to an item in this submission after pending for an unusually long time: 230320-084055-353000

You can see both declined items have evidence attached already, what's the meaning of these "Reason: Other" declines? Is it a glitch or technical thing or actually declined by a human?

Hi @mbmb​ -

Thanks for reporting this additional submission, I have now approved this credit listing as well. 

Concerning the updates, both were handled directly by an editor, I'm not certain if there was a tech issue related to the name page self-identity and contradicting page gender, or if this was simply a processing error - I have highlighted this issue in the ticket to be investigated.

I hope this helps!
