Multiple Contributions Being Repeatedly Rejected Despite Providing Evidence for Their Validity

Recently, I've had a number of my contributions rejected over and over again, despite providing ample evidence for why all of them were valid.

1. Astrology with Squidward (2000) being listed as a spin-off of SpongeBob SquarePants (1999).  The most recent time that I submitted this was 240528-163938-937000.  This was my explanation, which should have been more than enough:

This is a spin-off of SpongeBob SquarePants featuring the same characters.  One can find multiple sources for this:

https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Astrology_with_Squidward

https://lostmediawiki.com/Astrology_with_Squidward_(found_series_of_%22SpongeBob_SquarePants%22_Nickelodeon_animated_shorts;_early_2000s)

https://paramountshop.com/products/spongebob-astrology-with-squidward-shorts (merchandise on the official Paramount store)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o23PmVbxNNk (posted by the official SpongeBob SquarePants YouTube channel)

The contribution was still rejected, once again, because staff were supposedly unable to verify it.

2. Removing the "Horror" genre from Kardinal (1967).  The most recent time that I submitted this was 240529-020828-533000.  The previous times, I specified that Kardinal was "a plotless experimental film" and not a horror film, but that also failed.  You can watch Kardinal for yourself here, and you'll see that it has absolutely nothing to do with horror: https://ubuweb.com/film/muehl_kardinal.html The film was made by the Vienna actionists, an "artistic movement" dedicated to vileness and infantile behavior, and the film is just a typical art-shock gross-out experimental film with zero connections to the horror genre.

3. Removing the E10+ rating from Computer Space (1971).  The last time that I submitted this was 240529-021020-657000.  I included the following explanation: "E10+ is an ESRB rating.  This game was never rated by the ESRB.  The ESRB did not even exist when this game came out.  This game was released in arcades in 1971 and was never re-released in any form.  The ESRB was founded in 1994."  However, the update was still rejected.

4. Removing all of the ratings from Yume Nikki (2004).  The last time that I submitted this was 240529-021458-099000.  Yume Nikki is a freeware indie computer game that was self-released online.  It was never submitted to ANY ratings board for a rating.  Someone added a bunch of fake ratings to the game's IMDb page - most of the ratings are film and TV ratings that wouldn't even apply to any video game, yet IMDb still will not let me remove them.  Every single one of the ratings listed on Yume Nikki's IMDb page need to be removed.

5. Title fixes for Carl's Stone Cold Lock of the Century of the Week (2007).  When I fixed the titles for this, it was 240507-212752-205000.  The submission was approved, but not correctly.  I specified that the show's original title was Carl's Pissed, while the show's most recent title was Carl.  However, Carl's Stone Cold Lock of the Century of the Week is still listed as the main IMDb display title, while the other two are relegated to "alternate titles".  I once again tried to resubmit this as 240529-022038-844000, but it was still not fixed.  Once again: Carl's Pissed was the original title for season one.  Carl's Stone Cold Lock of the Century of the Week was the title for season two.  Carl was the title for season three onward.

6. Changing "some epiosodes" [sic] to "some episodes" on Adult Swim Smalls (2018).  The last time that I tried to submit this was 240526-195815-949000.  It's a simple typo fix, yet IMDb still keeps rejecting it.

7. Title fix for Not: Hero (2018).  The last time that I tried to submit this was 240504-215854-118000.  The show's title should be listed as (Not) Hero, as that is the actual on-screen title, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzyis4UCY60 On-screen, the title is rendered as (Not) Hero.  In most other places, it's rendered as (not)Hero.

8. Removing the "Family" genre from Streaking (1981).  The last time that I tried to submit this was 240417-235034-156000.  Streaking is an arcade game that, exactly as its title describes, revolves around running around in public as a naked woman and evading police.  It is most assuredly not a "Family" title.  However, IMDb won't let me remove the "Family" genre from it.

9. Changing the release date for The Problem Solverz pilot "Neon Knome" to 2010.  The last time that I tried to submit this was 240513-012534-738000.  "Neon Knome" was released as part of Adult Swim's Burger King Big, Über, Network Sampling pilot contest in 2010: https://adultswim.fandom.com/wiki/Burger_King_Big,_%C3%9Cber,_Network_Sampling IMDb will not let me change the episode's release date from 2011 to 2010.

10. Removing the "Horror" genre and US TV ratings from Fudêncio e Seus Amigos (2005).  The last time that I tried to submit this was 240529-211738-057000.  This is a Brazilian show that was never aired in the US and, as such, was never given a US TV rating, so the ratings of TV-14 and TV-MA are false and need to be removed.  In addition, this is an animated comedy, not horror.  It contains no horror elements of any sort.

11. Removing the US TV-Y7 rating from Samsonadzeebi (2009).  The last time that I tried to submit this was 240414-033213-096000.  Samsonadzeebi is a show that aired only in the Republic of Georgia.  It never aired in the US.  TV-Y7 is a US TV rating.  Samsonadzeebi was never rated TV-Y7, but IMDb will not let me remove the rating from the show's IMDb page.

I would very much appreciate it if you could please approve these contributions, as all of them are fully accurate.

Hi @Madotsuki_the_Dreamer2 -

6- Seems someone submitted right before you or submitted twice by mistake so it was rejected as a duplicate but fix was done.

All the rest I have resubmitted on your behalf and approved, changes will be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!
