The Hunt for Red October WGA credits are not as shown on screen

The WGA writing credits for The Hunt for Red October are not as shown on screen (and maybe have an invalid uncredited screenplay credit). The should be:

Tom Clancy (based on the novel by) 1,1,1

Larry Ferguson (screenplay by) 2,1,1,

Donald E. Stewart (screenplay by) (as Donald Stewart) 2,2,1

Should we delete David Shaber uncredited screenplay credit as it is likely not true?

Hi Adrian -

Thanks for reporting and including the screen grabs, these credits have now been updated and the changes should be reflected live on the site shortly.

Thanks again!

@Michelle

It looks like, per IMDb rules, the uncredited writer should be removed:

The WGA furnishes credits directly to IMDb for the projects for which they control credits. We do not accept uncredited writers for these projects; this is partly because duplicating or second-guessing the WGA's credits determination process would be impractical, and partly because the WGA does not permit writers to claim credits other than those determined by the WGA.
