What I did wrong?

I read all policies of IMDB. I already posted small plots, reviews, etc, some years ago. Now I posted a small plot summary for a Portuguese documentary about the earthquake of 1755 and it was declined without further explanations. I just want to understand because I found no explanations. 1 Janeiro 2025 #250101-123417-927901O Dia que Abalou o Pensamento (2022)1 item Plot Summary Declined (1)PLOT SUMMARYADDITIONDocumentário sobre o Grande Terremoto de Lisboa de 1755 que analisa a influência do evento no pensamento do Iluminismo e a adoção da primeiras técnicas científicas da sismologia na reconstrução de Lisboa sob a condução do Marquês de Pombal.ReasonDoes not meet contribution guidelines.Your contribution has been declined.Please review our submission guidelines.

joaoialima: I think I see the problem. You submitted this as a Plot Summary. But IMDb requires Plot Summaries to be in English. (See https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/plots/G56STCKTK7ESG7CP#summary.) On the other hand, Plot Outlines are allowed to be submitted in some other languages, including Portuguese. If you submit this as a Plot Outline in Portuguese, it ought to be accepted, with one minor change: A Plot Outline can be no more than 239 characters long, and this plot is 240 characters long. So you will need to make it just a little bit shorter to have it accepted as a Plot Outline. I hope this helps. Good luck!
