Star Trek The Original Series Theme music credit

Someone has gone through most episodes of Star Trek The Original Series and altered the Theme Music credit for Alexander Courage by adding " , although it strongly resembles the main title music for 'Hollow Triumph (1948)' by Sol Kaplan Sung by Loulie Jean Norman". I cannot find any other source that backs this up, it appears to be someone's personal opinion. Is there a way to update all of the episode in bulk or do I need to submit a data change for every affected episode?

Anyone who knows the Star Trek TOS theme would perk up when hearing the opening of Hollow Triumph. I'd say it's worth a trivia item. But not a soundtracks listing. (And the opening [of the film Hollow Triumph] has no singing on my copy.)

For the record, I submitted an update for this for the first episode I discovered it in, but it still is pending:

Ah, right. That submission removes the voice credit leaving the Theme music as credited to Alexander Courage.

Update, that submission has been declined with the far-too-common (to me) "Unable to verify". One wonders where they were able to verify the change to add the extraneous credit in the first place.

Above you described your submission as:

I thought the goal was to get rid of the Hollow Triumph annotation. Or the entire Soundtrack listing.

If the Soundtrack listing stays, then the singer should stay as well. And then there's no need to add her to the music department.

Could you post a screenshot of your contribution so we can also see what explanation you provided?

@bderoes My goal was to credit the theme song as it is credited in the show, which is the policy for Soundtrack listing. So remove the singer and the Hollow Triumph annotation, leaving just Alexander Courage.

https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/soundtracks/GKD97LHE9TQ49CZ7#

And now that I've re-read that section, I see that episode level soundtrack listings for things like the Theme should be removed, so I might try to do that instead.
