Submissions attempting to change character names repeatedly declined
Yet another problem with constant rejections. This time, I'm trying to fix some characters names. In one instance a character's last name is misspelled in the credits of a particular episode. In the others, I'm trying to provide the full first and last name of the character as opposed to only one or the other. All of the submissions have evidence whether it be an article where the full name of the character is listed or a screenshot from the show proving the information I'm providing is correct. All have been rejected about 5 times and counting now. Obviously the editors aren't even checking any of the evidence that's provided. This type of thing is happening more and more. There are other shows I'm interested in doing this with too but I assume I'll keep running into the same issue. Submission numbers: 220714-175310-208000 220714-175721-247000 220714-180007-909000 220714-180516-386000 220714-180557-094000 220714-180610-981000 220714-180630-253000

Hi NPLxo- In this case even though the character names are correct, we like to reflect credits as they show on-screen, so for some submissions checked, I can see you added the last name, for example, but on the end credits it shows with no last name reason why the change was not accepted. If you see the character names we have listed are wrong in comparison to the end credits, then please submit the correction with a screenshot or picture of the end credits. Thanks!!

Hi NPLxo- So if the character name doesn't show on the end credits than we can list it with the full name which you are telling me is the case for all but "All the Queen's Men" correct? If that is the case I will resubmit on your behalf, so you don't have to and approve. Regarding the spoilers on the character name, if a name is a spoiler we don't list it, our policy says "We make occasional exceptions when character names are not listed on-screen or when the character descriptions in the end titles include spoilers" so if you see a character name being a spoiler please report it as such, so we can delete it. Cheers!

Recently a request in line with that was rejected here: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/spoiler-on-jamie-campbell-bower-page/629399e7117340245e71eb80 But I see spoiler character name is removed from that episode page now (which is good) although it was rejected in the thread. But I noticed someone added Voldemort here after a while: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0241527/fullcredits/ (maybe because someone did it because request for Stranger Things was rejected and Harry Potter example was also mentioned in that thread) It's in the guides as an example that it shouldn't be added: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/cast-acting-credits-guidelines/GH3JZC74FVYKKFMD Ian Hart plays Professor Quirrell in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, but you're not supposed to know he's also Voldemort.
