Non-stop (uncredited) vandalism on page
Hi guys. Here's a particularly grim example of IMDb trolling. This page has been victimized in the past, but never to this level.
Some troll, or maybe a kid with too much time on their hands, has been flooding Joe Ranft's page with inaccurate "(uncredited)" credits for a while now. It doesn't seem like they're going to give up any time soon. The fake credits range from somewhat plausible (art department in Disney movies Ranft didn't actually work on) to not plausible (art department in loads of episodes of Elmo's World) to not even remotely plausible (uncredited live-action acting roles in various films like Night at the Roxbury and Elf).
This past month alone, I've already removed 211 fake (uncredited) credits from the page, but the vandal always rapidly adds them back:
https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/230517-025700-404000/
https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/230517-165723-830000/
https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/230521-000242-525000/
https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/230601-040007-197000/
https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/230601-161115-219000/
My latest removal was only a few hours after I had removed fake acting credits, at which point the vandal was seemingly instantly able to re-add them.
I would suggest locking this page, or at least banning whoever's behind this massive deluge of bogusness. Thanks

Likely relevant with the return of the pixar vandal mentioned by @timothy_gray_el34lojg1aih1 here 25 days ago: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/some-of-the-uncredited-voice-acting-roles-for-mel-blanc-are-a-little-hard-to-believe/620a0463116db439b7108502?commentId=64587c2cc18213557fc409ef

Hi @Bethanny
Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately a week later there seems to have been no change, the vandalized credits are still being re-added.
