My contribution was rejected

My contribution # 230619-093150-870000 was rejected because it "Does not meet contribution guidelines."
The rejection was about 4 of the 6 updates in that contribution, but the one that REALLY upsets me id the one for a Miscellaneous link:

https://www.therialtoreport.com/2015/03/22/alice-in-wonderland-1976-what-really-happened/

I described it having in mind all the do's and dont's of IMDb rules, that I now re-read line by line:
https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/links-to-external-sites/G3FNEK9DW6TXW87J?ref_=helpms_helpart_inline#

How can I summarize all the relevant data about this cult film, in porn and musical circles alike, if not by "Oral history and archives"? OK, I could have worded it as "Oral history and archive materials"...
It is the only site on the whole world that contains first person information about the production, the locations, the technicalities and the feelings of several crew and cast members! I know, because I've been digging the web for the movie.

I contend that:
- The rejection was unfounded.
- The rejection should be reversed.

By the way, I'm not a porn fan, and if someone at IMDb replies that a couple of nude photos in the page are objectionable, inside a title that has always been classified as Adult, I'll take my case to the Supreme Court.

Hi @artemis_9 -

I'm just circling back to confirm that we are not allowing External Links on Adult titles, which is why your submissions were declined with the reason "Does not meet contributor guidelines".

I have also followed up with the applicable teams to ensure our Help Guides include this information as well as consider a Warning/Blocker within the contribution form for transparency.

@Michelle Thank you. Your reply indicates that your intelligence is not artificial, which is the dominant kind in the web, and unfortunately seems imbedded in IMDb too.

The decision to downgrade Adult movies data below what I consider real pornography, such as gore Action and War movies, and plenty of Dramas too, is not something I like - especially now that I have watched (and listened to the lyrics) six times - the first times to add research to the movie's IMDb file, and the others just for the fun of it.

Alice in Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Fantasy (1976), is a Comedy that I recommend to everybody who is an Adult, and if was not for some 5 or 6 minutes of hardcore sex, I would recommend it to every 12-y-o boys and girls. With their parents in the room, ready to answer questions!

Less than my utopian world, both your suggestions to your bosses are commendable. The current (and long standing) instructions are too longue, and too vague when addressing the questions of a real world user, and should be revised. A blocker at the editing files would prevent many bona fide users from wasting their time. (And bringing them here, to pester you and your colleagues.)
