Undefined title to be properly affiliated

Hi,

I noticed that there is an undefined title

for the short movie « La sortie de l’usine Lumière à Lyon ».

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0000010/?ref_=fn_al_tt_0


This undefined title is « La Sortie de l’Usine Lumière »

This undefined title is in French, so it has to be affiliated to « France » as a country, with the attribute of « alternative title ».

The current spelling is also a bit wrong.

It should indeed be written « La sortie de l’usine Lumière », with no capital letter to common names « sortie » and « usine » (only « Lumière » which is a family name needs a capital letter).

Can you please do that?

Hi mompart -

 

I have now removed the Alternate title you reported, the title should be removed from the AKA title section shortly.

 

Cheers!

Hi mompart -

 

I can see that the title you referenced, "La sortie de l’usine Lumière à Lyon", is currently listed on the title page as the original title and the poster title: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0000010/releaseinfo/

 

If the above titles are incorrect as per the title card on the original film and on the poster, I encourage you to submit a correction to these alternate titles through our online Update form.  However, if the the spelling error was visible on both the original release and on the poster, we will need to retain the information as-is.

 

Cheers!

The topic is about alternate titles.

Sorry, but we cannot update « undefined » titles through IMDB forms. That is why I made this post. Here is a shot screen of what IMDB says when we try

We have to make 2 different contributions to correct « undefined titles »: one to add a new title and then a second one to ask to delete the old one, which does not always work (I have already received answers « Unable to verify »)

If you do not want to make any spelling correction, it is ok, but at least please, do not leave « undefined » titles and add a country « France » to this one and an attribute like « alternative title »

I do not understand why you talk about the original title and the poster title which is correct. I am only talking about the « undefined » title. Possible misunderstanding between us. With my shot screen, I hope it will be clearer

I would just delete the undefined title as it serves no discernible purpose.

If you make a submission and post the reference number here, Michelle may be able to make sure it as accepted.

If you made a submission, the IMDb data editors will handle it and you can check from your contribution history whether it’s accepted or not.

Hi, I did and it was refused with the usual remark « Unable to verify ». I would like this submission to be properly handled

This post is now with a « no status ». What does it mean?

I'm not sure what "no status" on this thread that means. But it's better than being marked Solved or Answered at this point.

Have you checked the status of your latest contribution?

The contribution I made to delete this alternate title marked as « undefined » was rejected with answer « Unable to verify »

https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/210208-195115-172000

That is why I would like someone from IMDb handles this post/contribution and delete this title. But as my post is now with « no status », I wonder what will happen
