My IMDB profile has mistakenly been merged with someone elses

Hi there, Out of nowhere my IMDB profile https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3798848/ has been merged with someone elses. In fact, most of the credits on my page do now not belong to me! I have tried correcting/deleting the credits that are not mine, but my attempts are rejected everytime. It's very frustrating. What can be done? Many thanks for your help! Best wishes, David

If you’re not the ”visual effects/vfx” related person, perhaps it would be easier to move ”your” credits to a new page. This could be done by going to the title page of these credits (that you would wish to move) and ”correct” the name: ”Ross, David (XLII)” to ”Ross, David (new page numeral)”.

Hi eboy, Thanks for your reply! Both myself and the other David Ross that I have been merged with have vfx credits. For example I worked on vfx for 'Andor' but not 'No Time to Die', so it's a bit messy really.

Hi @Michelle  Thanks for your reply! The following credits are mine.. Willow - vfx compositor: Midas vfx Andor - in-house digital compositor House of the Dragon - visual effects artist Thirteen Lives - compositor: Midas VFX Villain - visual effects artist You Eat Other Animals? - digital compositor Crashing - Digital compositor Dune Drifter - visual effects Artist Made in Italy - Visual Effects artist Star Wars Origins - miniature supervisor Turning Tide - Visual Effects supervisor Skyborn - Miniatures assistant The Monuments Men - junior model maker Orbit Ever After - miniatures effects supervisor The Astronomer's Sun - special effects Filmed In Supermarionation - model maker Perhaps there's a way I could move these to a new profile called 'David M Ross' to prevent this happening in the future? Many thanks! David

Hi @davidm2065​ - Thanks for confirming.  The credits have now been moved to a new name page under "David M. Ross" and the changes should be live on the site shortly. Cheers!

Amazing, thank you very much @Michelle !  The only problem is my new page is missing my credits on Andor, could this be fixed? Many thanks! David
