Why Declined?

Why did you decline these even when supported with verifiable evidence? Until yesterday I had no issues with this type of submissions, and was able to get them approved for months without no problem. I guess these were handled by a novice editor. For your information, I can't continue with my new submissions if the editors will continue to decline without reviewing what was provided in the box.

Hi jabrenner-

I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing declined submissions, and especially wherein you have taken efforts to provide solid evidence.

These rejections were processing errors, I have resubmitted the changes on your behalf and approved.

We will escalate issue and we ask for your patience and understanding in the meantime. 

Cheers!

Just curiously peeking at your post. What is this for, if I may ask? All I see are submission numbers.

@RandalllFlagg​, this post is regarding the birthdate submissions that were strangely declined despite supported with evidence.

What is strange about it is that the format I have been using for months now has become unverified by some editors.  If they will continue to disregard evidence just like that, I will stop my submissions, and IMDB will lose one of the top contributors.

@jabrenner​ Well, that's unfortunate. Hope it gets resolved soon for you.

The real problem boils down to who processes the data we contribute, namely the so-called data editors. Some are really careful, but some really get on your nerves with these problems. You are always in doubt if your foolproof submission will be approved.

Hi @Bethanny -

Thank you for acknowledging the problem, I am hoping you have made sure similar mistakes won't be repeated. My intention has always been to enhance the database with solid submissions. I may not tolerate unjustified rejections if the problem persists as this will only waste my time.
