Unreasonable DOB Rejections

Please find below the submissions I believe declined in error despite being supported with sufficient evidence.

Most of them were only regarding the birthplace additions, but the editors rejected as they were not able to capture a specific reason.

1  - #220603-121154-330000 (she herself revealed it, but the incompetent editors managed to decline it somehow)
2 - #220528-153943-251000

Hi jabrenner -

I reviewed these birthdate corrections and noted that some were declined because we were unable to verify the information based on the provided evidence alone, meaning that we need additional verifiable evidence for those updates.  However, I can see that some of these updates should have been approved based on the provided evidence and I have resubmitted them on your behalf and approved them.

For the submissions that were not resubmitted, we will need to see more verifiable evidence to support the changes, ideally we are looking for links to public records, printed publications, or official documents.  Once you resubmit these updates with the additional evidence our editors will take another look.

I hope this helps!

Thank you  @Michelle,

I understand you need more than one evidence for those, but will you pass a warning to the relevant editors that they should not decline when the purpose and evidence are clear as a day? I mean, those re-submitted ones were really clear and shouldn't have been declined in the first place.  They should be more careful.

I don't want to open another thread just for these, but this time the editors declined the dates of death for some of most renowed serial killers citing they didn't capture a specific reason during processing despite the hard evidence.  Whoever responsible for these is really problematic, and should be warned.

Hi @jabrenner​ -

Thanks for your feedback, yes, I have also reached out to the appropriate team regarding those applicable Date of Birth updates as well as these newly reported Death Date submissions.

In the meantime, the death dates have now been approved and should be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!
