Questions about major clean up on Come Dine With Me...

@Bethanny​ Thanks Bethanny,

This was a problem I was having, as with over 600 episodes on the system it was hard to figure out which ones they DID belong to. I've now been able to identify the two people in question, so have put in remove image tags with this explanation.

I would have to see the episodes (5 for each) in question, though, to see exactly which one matches which image.

The images definitely belong to the series, just not 100 episodes of it.

@MovieCat​ Oh yes images should only be tagged to 1 episode (the one it belongs too) all the rest should be deleted.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Sorry, I hadn't explained it properly. When I said one on hundreds of episodes, I meant the same contestant.

Ironically the episodes where they DO appear didn't have them on it.

But you're saying I can't remove episode tags unless there's a replacement? Because with over 600 episodes sometimes I might not know.

@MovieCat​ Ideally, yes, there should be a replacement.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ As it appears that most of them are from the same run of episodes, this might not be impossible.

Now I'm putting the episodes in order (another thing that wasn't done with the title) it's become clear that whoever added these images was putting screenshots from single episodes across 20-30 separate consecutive episodes. Strange site vandalism.

@Bethanny​ I think I secretly enjoy cracking this case, though, especially as my submissions are now starting to be accepted.

Look at this one as an example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9620086/mediaindex

23 photos. I added one screenshot to the title myself, but the other 22 were all placed against individual (incorrect) episodes.

With over a thousand episodes, I might struggle to place some when the contestants look more generic, but that one was relatively easy to find with a quick "contestant with purple hair" Google search.

@MovieCat​ And we do appreciate all the job you are doing by fixing all of it. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Thank you, it's become an obsession now. :)

I don't know what possessed the original submitter, as if they were taking screen shots from a particular episode, they must have KNOWN that they were adding the images to random ones.

Here's one of the worst so far... 39 images. 38 of them were on other, unrelated episodes:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9620120/mediaindex

I think I must have changed the tags and added names to around 300-400 now. Some of them I scroll past as I think I've done them, they're practically duplicates.

I wonder what obsessed the person who did it?

Here's another one that's currently got 40 images (and I've put in for another 3 to go with it) that were all on other, individual episodes: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9620086/mediaindex

(As two very obviously ARE duplicates there I'll put in a deletion request)

@MovieCat​ Yes if they are duplicate definitely delete them.

Thanks a lot!

@Bethanny​ I'd love to know what the person was thinking when they added all these... nearly 50 images from this one episode, which were all spread over individual (incorrect) episodes, and I'm still finding more:

@Bethanny​ I said at the start that I had two questions, but No.2 slipped my mind.

I've FINALLY remembered.... it was just that five episodes appear to have been ratings bombed.

Bear in mind this is a TV show that not many people vote on - so much so that some of these lowly-rated episodes fall under "Top Rated" - then there's a high number of votes for these ones, and all in the negative.

This one has 23 votes (probably just one of less than a dozen episodes to reach the minimum vote rating) and 20 of those votes were 1/10: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1447572/ratings/?ref_=tttr_ql_op_4

The following four episodes, all set in Dundee, Scotland with the same contestants, all follow the same pattern. Very strange.

@MovieCat​ I have identified the user, so essentially he is adding images the incorrect episodes?

@Bethanny​ 100%, yes. 

Not including ones that have yet to be actioned, so far I've transferred no less than 237 separate images. These images only feature 10 people, so would only be related to 10 separate episodes.

I don't see any way the person in question couldn't have known they were adding these images (237!!!!!) to random episodes.

@Bethanny I hadn't even thought to look at the spin-off show, Couples Come Dine With Me, which contains many of the same images spammed onto the main title (along with a completely unrelated image that I've put in a deletion request for):
