Solved

Unable to make obvious correction

I had submitted a credit for Arrested Development 2003 a TV Show and it was accepted.  Years later, IMDB changed the credit to Arrested Development 2003 A Short Film (totally Different Project).  I've submitted the change repeatedly along with a screen grab of the Official ADG award that we'd won for ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT 2003 TV SHOW and a link to the official ADG site.  Because there are no human reviewers at IMDB anymore, the obvious correction was denied.  How do I let IMDB know that they should accept the correction?

Hi @graphage,

You might be mistaken as to some facts in the past.

There is two separate title pages with equal name "Arrested Development (2003)" in IMDbase, but they are of different types and have never been mixed together.

The short movie [tt0376489] was first added as such [https://web.archive.org/web/20040218025738/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0376489/]:

and there is no traces it was mixed or changed into the second one.

The TV-Series [tt0367279] was first added as such [https://web.archive.org/web/20031203001510/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367279/]:

and the Art Directors Guild (ADG) award is on its page right now [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367279/awards/]:

Luke Freeborn has an art director credit listed for the short, but an award for the series.

Yes. The credit is where it was submitted to, and it has to be moved to the correct title page.

Reason is the soul of all law.

The credit needs to be moved over from the wrong Arrested Development (short) to the correct Arrested Development (TV Show)   I was on the TV show, season 1, not the short as evidenced in what I'd shared. on the submission. #260804-014341-012000

@graphage​ - Hi, 

Further reviewing, I can see that your submission above was approved.

Now, for episodic credits, these credits need to be added to the respective episodes you worked on and not the parent series, as per our guidelines. The previous credit was incorrectly added to the parent series. 

You can re-submit the credit to the respective episode or if you worked on multiple episodes for season 1.

@graphage,

It would be helpful if you included the 18-digit number (submission reference) here so staff can review it.

Please be prepared that the official ADG site might be the evidence to delete the incorrect credit from the short movie, but can be not enough to list the name on the TV-Series page. If you are not credited on-screen, then there is official guidelines for "uncredited" status:
