Solved

Where are the citations for credits for any individual on IMDB?

I am trying to find out who is credited as writer for "I Love To Singa" (1936). There are three people listed as writers, but there is no citation or resource to prove that information.

Am I able to receive the resource that was provided for credits? There is no proof online of whom the writer was.

Hi thebigsixth, The information in IMDb comes from various sources. Most of it is either researched by our staff or submitted by our users.

Unfortunately, that did not answer my question. I want concrete proof that the information that IMDB is providing to me is 100% correct. I would like the source for proof of whom the writers are for "I Love To Singa"(1936).

I viewed your link, and it was not helpful. I am invoking the freedom of information act. The individuals are now deceased, and I am not asking for their personal information. The information that I am requesting is available as public knowledge. I am requesting that you provide the necessary information to prove the legitimacy of your resource. Otherwise, your website is fraud and unethical to provide false information and must removed from the internet.

"The individuals are now deceased" You don't know that the person(s) that submitted the information to IMDb are deceased. It's their privacy that IMDb is refering to, not the privacy of the writers of I Love to Singa.

I'm not asking for the person's information who submitted the information. I'm asking for the resource, reference, or citation to prove the writers credits.
