Please provide self credit clarification

@Michelle 

This is regarding this post.

I provided 7 examples of recent self credit problems (8 if you include that post). Obviously there is an issue and I will resist being wordy to restate the info and questions from the above referred to post.

So can someone, Michelle preferably, please provide some guidance as to why self credits corrections are continually rejected?

Thank you.

It's certainly not just Mike.

I corrected 2 such credits in 1 contribution in the last week, and accepted/declined ran 50/50.

I did nothing extra to justify the declined item (other than point out the other got through), just sent it to the Contact desk, and the 2nd was approved too.

Inappropriately Declined items are a lot more work for us, and for IMDb staff.

I hope IMDb tracks _who_ declines things that get reversed, and train them better when their stats warrant it.

In the meanwhile, contributors are getting frustrated, and perhaps not even checking to see if things get declined, making IMDb less accurate than it could be.

Mike, if you'd rather not have this comment on your thread, just reply as such and I'll delete it.
