Retracting an imdb correction
Is there a way to cancel an imdb correction that you realize was wrong after you hit Sent and before the team takes the time to process and change it?

Hi breindel_wood -
Once a submission has been made it cannot be cancelled. For information on how to handle a mistaken submission I encourage you to review our Help Article.
In the meantime, if you would like IMDb staff to check the status, you can post the 18-digit submission reference number here and I can take a look for you.
Cheers!

Hi breindel_wood -
I reviewed your submissions and can see that all of them (aside from #211228-065535-292000 and #211228-175616-761000) have already been approved. If the approved changes were in error, you will need to submit a correction to those character names.
To clarify, we list character names as they appear in on-screen credits, i.e. the end titles cast listing. We make occasional exceptions when character names are not listed on-screen or when the character descriptions in the end titles include spoilers, but as a rule we try to stick to credits as closely as possible.
So for the credit listings, you should generally only list the character name that was credited on-screen. If the character name was not credited on-screen, our preference is to list the character name spoken on-screen, if the name was not spoken then we allow a brief description (ie. firefighter, waiter, mail clerk, etc).
For the credits you updated, you mentioned that the character "plays" another character, if the narrative is that the character is performing a role or pretending to be another person, this would not be considered another character name. So for example if the character's name is "Felicity", and in the film the character performs the role of a nun in a play, the credit would only be listed with the character name "Felicity".
I hope this helps!
