Name Correction Support

Joshua: You will want to do a Name Merge to fix this. To do that, go to the page of your non-preferred name, Josh Bacor, at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10089928/. Click "Edit page".

On the next screen, on the Name Merge line, select "Add merge". Scroll down and click "Continue".

On the next screen, there will be a blank line on which to enter your corrected name. Enter it as:

Bacor, Joshua

Make sure the box marked "Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Josh Bacor)'" is checked.

You will need to provide an explanation. In the Explanation box, enter something like this: "I am Joshua Bacor, but I have occasionally been credited as Josh Bacor. My preferred name is Joshua Bacor. All of the credits and data on both the Joshua Bacor and Josh Bacor pages belong to me, and so these two pages should be merged." If you have any links to evidence to prove that both names are you, please provide those links in the explanation as well. Click "Check these updates".

On the next screen, you will get a warning that says, "You are about to merge two separate name pages into one. Are you sure you wish to merge this name page into the page for Bacor, Joshua? ..." That's what you want, so 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 merge to go through. Good luck!
