Hi jack_kney-

In order to move credits out of the Self section, you will need to follow: 

How to move credits out of the Self section

In order to move credits from the "Self" section, you will need to submit a delete + add contribution. I.e. the "Self" credit must first be deleted from the "Self" section, and then re-added to the "Actor/Actress" section.

You will find further information on our following Help Guide under the question: "Why do some acting credits show up in a separate list under a category called "Self" even if those people didn't actually appear as themselves?"

Let us know if you have further questions!

Cheers!

Maya: I could be wrong, but it sounds like Jack is claiming that he worked on this production ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36958248/ ) only as a Cinematographer and not in either a Cast or Self role.

Jack, if that is the situation, go to the page at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36979702/ (the episode where you have a Self credit) and click "Edit page" at the bottom of the page.

On the next screen, on the Self line, select "Correct/Delete". Click "Continue".

On the next screen, select "Delete" in the drop-down menu to the left of your name. Click "Check these updates".

On the next screen, you will get a warning that says, "Please explain why this item is being deleted. ...." In the box below, enter something like this: "I am Jack Kney, and I did work on this title, but only as a Cinematographer, and I am already credited as such on IMDb. I do not appear on camera or as a voice in this episode, so my name should be removed from the Self section." Click "Re-check these updates".

On the next screen, you will get a warning that says, "This is the last credit in this category.
This will remove the last remaining credit in this category. Please confirm you wish to proceed." Check the box marked "Warning understood, go ahead anyway." Click "Re-check these updates".

On the next screen, your data should appear with a green background, and you should be able to click "Submit these updates".

Allow a few days for the correction to be processed. Good luck!
