Solved

Need staff help on a few items.

Hi, built up a small batch of things I need help with. Let us begin....

1) #260901-230646-854000 - I finished fixing up an old animated series that has several uncredited voice parts usually if there's only 1 line spoken, they are all added now but this one. I added enough proof that the voice appears and that it's uncredited. They've been allowed with hard proof before.

2) #260904-032429-908419 - A direct unaltered screenshot declined for no reason, should've been approved.

3) Season 30  - This Season 30 is just a messy duplicate of Season 28 with bad data, all 14 episodes need deleting.

4) I was auditing an animated series that had no voice actors/dialogue, yet 3 cast had been added to this show only, some research turned up nothing to show the people even exist, just fake data added by a troll, so they can be deleted.

5) #260914-055104-586000 - Credit declined despite proof added.

That's it for problems, now I have two questions/wonderings.

1) I've noticed trivia pieces appearing on movies that are just the opening paragraph from wikipedia copy and pasted, not sure what the thought is on this lazy practice but it's not very trivia like is it. I only have two examples with me but it could be dozens, hundreds or thousands if you look into it.

Wikipedia - Soldier Blue

Linked Trivia Piece for The Hunting Party

Wikipedia - The Hunting Party

2) There was a series spin-off from the '...Has Fallen' films, in 2024 'Paris Has Fallen' was released for 8 episodes. Now a sequel series 'Apollo Has Fallen' has started and promotional materials list it as a sequel series. So to me they are two separate but connected mini-series, but on here someone's added 'Apollo' as a 2nd season on the 'Paris' page. So how should it be listed? Like I think or like it is?

Thanks for reading. Let me know if any further info is required.

Hello VonPunk

Thanks for the submission numbers! I have checked the requests:

For points 2 and 5, I was able to re submit and approve for you. Regarding point 1, the credit is not eligible to be listed, since we do not list uncredited voice credits. 

The remaining requests and question number 1, this can be submitted using the online Update Form, you are welcome to submit anytime.

Upon taking a look at the last question, from researching it does look like "Apollo Has Fallen" is the second season for "Paris Has Fallen", listed as second season by Apple TV and Prime video, do you have sources that mention that this is not from the same series?

@Fran​ Hi

Actually you do allow uncredited voices, I've added dozens with staff help as long as there is solid proof which I supplied.

You've not deleted the 3 fake name pages or that entire season that is just an invalid mess. I dunno why you think contributors can delete episodes and name pages with a submission, we cannot that's why we submit for help here, as only staff can do it.

What about submitting on the online update form can answer question 1? Makes no sense. I'll just screw that off, I dunno how I can investigate if someone's spamming the site with pointless data.

I'm fine with leaving the Apollo Has Fallen as a Season 2 if that's how you want it. It is on other steaming services, like here Watch Apollo Has Fallen | Stream free on SBS On Demand listed as a 1 season series. I do not think any of the new season features Paris.

Cheers for putting the 2 things through that you did.
Hopefully you'll come round to doing the other 3 after running it by a higher up or someone. Have a good weekend.

Trivia items copied from Wikipedia are clearly not allowed, so they can be deleted. But it would be good if IMDb looked into who is submitting them and stopped accepting their submissions. Since that is not something that Fran can just push through, perhaps a separate post would have been better.

@Peter_pbn​ Yeah I thought not but the shifting sands around here make me ask. I'm probably sure AI written content still isn't allowed but there's mountains of it now especially in the review and trivia sections.

I highlighted it so they could open a ticket into it and find out who did it and maybe remove it all, for all I know they did this 10,000 times. I could've deleted the two I found but I needed them for the examples to show staff, beyond that I can't do much else. Mind you, not one ticket that was opened in last two years through me has been resolved, even the simple stuff, so they either don't care or don't have the staff or resources to fix anything, probably the latter sadly.

Looks like I might have to repost some of this anyway, and hope I get Maya or Michelle to respond, as they understand the constraints that contributors have upon them.

@VonPunk​ - Hi, 

I have taken a look at the rest of the points (#1,3,4), these have been corrected. The invalid name pages and the duplicated season are no longer on the site. 

As per your Trivia question, these have been removed and further actions have been taken on the contributor responsible. If you were to encounter further ones, you can submit the deletion request for them and do let us know if there is a further problem with them.

@Maya​ Thank you so much, it's nice to get up at 3am and find someone's already made my day.

I worked really hard on the series at #1 over last couple of years on and off, going through 52 episodes that ended up needing a bunch of uncredited voices adding and some that needed deleting among other edits. Now I feel it's as good as it's going to get...a sense of mission complete.
#3 would've taken me hours to clean up and that's if I was successful across the board in deleting, correcting data and merging. Now I can spend that time adding other missing data instead.
As for question #1, that was all I wanted, to highlight what I thought was a wider problem I couldn't see the roots of. Yeah if I see anymore like that I'll delete them.

Thanks again, have a tremendous day.
