Need staff help with submissions and page deletions Part 2

Apologies for the long post but some are left over from last month that were posted but weren't responded to.

Okay first a list of name pages that were made for companies that can be deleted as I've added all the credits to the company sections of each title they were credited on.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11234581/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11234579/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11234582/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11234584/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12982504/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12982463/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136571/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136439/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136566/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136570/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136454/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136440/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136435/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136434/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136448/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136568/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136438/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136564/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11136569/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8128649/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11135539/

Now some submissions that were wrongly declined.

#220408-024603-554000 - Corrected whole cast with timestamped video link, 2 of the 35 were declined, I have this same issue on every episode with the same two actors.

#220408-002548-525502 - Added 17 images to a TV episode, just this one was declined for 'does not meet contribution guidelines', no idea why, it's no different to the other 16 in format or clarity.

#220316-045720-934000 - Still cleaning up this series with messed up credits, video link supplied to prove this deletion is valid and the only thing stopping the crew being perfectly complete and accurate.

#220311-214715-283000 - Corrected cast on each episode with no issue except this one, I've tried correcting with screengrab and timestamped video evidence twice but declined both times.

#220311-211010-334000 - My recent work on the Sally Marr (II) page threw up an inaccurate (mix-up) in two character names, I tried to correct this one twice, supplied credit screengrab and timestamped video evidence but was declined still.

And from last month.

#220225-153525-510000 - I added two people to the composer section, one person went in okay, the other pended for days then was approved but moved to the 'music department' I deleted those and retried but same thing happened. Is it possible to move the credit in 'music department' back to 'composers'?

Also I wanted to ask could a relevant staff member, solve the conundrum posted in the last few posts in this thread:  https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/contribution-showrunners-and-head-writers/5fdd6c989eb95c2debc8e551?commentId=6218850bcabee311021c4cc7&replyId=621945943d45c173c9735be5

It seems like we are being pointed in different directions over whether to alter existing credits or add duplicate credit's. Both Adrian and I have been greenlit to delete all these duplicates but others point to contradicting info.

The thing that bothers me most about adding the duplicates with 'showrunner' attached is that some are spamming titles with false credits even with wrong name pages attached.

Here's an example, there was a lady called Emily Thomas worked on Longmire as a Script Coordinator for the first 4 seasons then upped to Associate Producer on the final 2 Seasons, this is her page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5760719/

All is correct there she was never an Executive Producer or Showrunner, but someone tried to add her as such to all 63 episodes except they tagged the wrong page and did it with this one: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5876833/

The latter is an Assistant Director best known for being Taron Edgerton's partner and had nothing to do with Longmire at all.

Also Longmire Executive Producer John Coveny likely was a showrunner but why was a 'producer (showrunner)' added for him to every episode when he was never credited as Producer only as Executive Producer, makes no sense to do that.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2100253/

Sam Esmail suffered a similar fate on Mr. Robot, a false 'producer' credit added to every episode just to get a showrunner credit added.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1322753/ 

Just last month I had to delete the wrong Danny McBride from a series and I've seen a bunch of other errors lately too, so this needs addressing I think. Also could you delete those 63 incorrect showrunner credits from Emily Thomas (XI)'s page if possible, I think way things are going for me I'll have major issues doing it. Thanks for any help.

Another issue, is a company name that's been kicking around awhile that I've never found to be accurate.

There is a production company called 'MY Entertainment'

as can be seen at these links

https://myentertainment.tv/

https://www.linkedin.com/company/my-tupelo-entertainment

An IMDb company page was created in Sep 2006: https://pro.imdb.com/company/co0192293/

Now it used to use the title 'MY Tupelo Entertainment' on some onscreen credits over a decade ago but seemed to drop that to a shortened version.

But a second IMDb company page was created with that title in Nov 2011:

https://pro.imdb.com/company/co0363769/

So are they allowed two pages? Or should they be merged under the older one with attributes where applicable?

On same tack, for some reason another page with as far as I can see no basis in reality was made under the title 'My Entertainment Holdings' in Nov 2008 and added only to Ghost Adventures episodes despite there already being a page and this one using a name not seen onscreen nor can I find evidence online of this name ever being in use, I'd just about eradicated this company page from Ghost Adventures but now someone had re-added it to almost all the episodes alongside the other ones. Surely this page should be deleted or merged into the oldest one.

This one: https://pro.imdb.com/company/co0252126/

Any advice or help would be great.

Hi VonPunk -

Thanks for calling out these contribution issues.

All the reported company name pages have now been removed.

Regarding the submissions you referenced:

220408-024603-554000 - The credit order updates for these outstanding credits have now been approved for this episode.

220408-002548-525502 - I have now approved this image.

220316-045720-934000 - This credit has now been removed.

220311-214715-283000 - These character names have now been updated.

220311-211010-334000 -  The character name has now been updated.

220225-153525-510000 - The credit has now been moved to the Composer section.

Concerning the other Showrunners and Head writers Thread you referenced, staff will reply shortly to help clarify.

Concerning the company listing, the companies have now been combined under the most current company name, which appears to be "MY Entertainment".  Concerning the separate company listing under "My Entertainment Holdings", I have now merged this company to "My Entertainment" since the on-screen credits are listed as "My Entertainment".

I hope this helps!

@Michelle​ You are an absolute marvel and it was a massive help, more or less cleared my backlog of issues in one swoop. Thank you so much.

I did fail to list one company in the list, there were so many I missed it so if you happen by this way again later could you delete it, if not I'll add it to next time which will hopefully be much shorter of a list.

Thank you again.

Hi @VonPunk​ -

I'm happy to help to resolve these outstanding issues, I'm just sorry to see that they weren't approved initially.  I have also now removed this additional company name page listing, so that page should be removed shortly.

Thanks again for catching all these company name pages and your valuable contributions to the site!

@Michelle​ Thank you very much, knowing you have my back makes problems I encounter seem smaller.
