Trivia Deletion Declined - Please Help

Hello again IMDB Community. I have been spending a lot of my free time correcting items in the television series Miami Vice, and I recently discovered an incorrect entry in the Trivia section of an episode from Season 3. The episode is Streetwise, and in the Trivia section, someone has written the following:

"Despite the fact that this was the tenth episode of season 3, the opening sequence does not have the Testarossa night drive clip; instead, "Also Starring Saundra Santiago" is shown over the aerial pan of the Miami beach front."

The problem is that this information is completely inaccurate. I submitted a request to have this post deleted for that reason, (under this reference number: 241112-043043-268000) and provided the following details: 

"This is factually incorrect information. The opening credits DO in fact feature the “Testarossa night drive clip,” and that is exactly where the actress’ name appears. This entry is completely inaccurate and should be removed. Watching this episode as I write this."

My request was declined, and the reason given included this information:

Unable to verify.

Your contribution has been declined. We have been unable to verify your contribution.

Unfortunately, we were unable to accept your submission as we were unable to verify the information provided.

If your submission was placed via the IMDb.com Desktop title or name page submission form, you now have an option to provide evidence with your additions, as well as corrections or deletions. Please go to your Contribution History, re-load the submission reference and tick the box “provide an explanation to assist in processing this submission” and “check these updates”. The field will become available in the submission form. Please include evidence, or provide a URL which contains supporting evidence within this field.

While I understand that more information is needed to process and possibly accept my request, this problem is that when I reload this request, the “provide an explanation to assist in processing this submission” box is NOT available. I therefore can't provide proof since that box isn't an option for me.

That said, I noticed that this post allows for the upload of photos and videos, so I made a short video clip of the opening credits showing the issue in question. The problem is that the video is too large to upload here. So I have added three screenshots from the video as proof of what I am saying:

As you can clearly see, the opening credits do contain the "Testarossa night drive clip" (that is a white Ferrari Testarossa shown in the credits), and the actress' name does appear there and not over a beach scene. I think this clearly proves that the Trivia in question is completely incorrect and should be deleted.  I am happy to provide the full video if a moderator needs to see it, again, I just can't add it to this post. Any help in this would be appreciated. Sorry this is a bit long winded...
