Why is my entry converting a goof to an incorrectly regarded as goof rejected?

I submitted update entry 230411-033253-920000 to convert a goof to incorrectly regarded as goof, and it came back as 'does not meet contribution guidelines'. Can someone please enlighten me as to the reason it does not meet guidelines? I provided an update to the original entry which clearly details why it is not a goof, yet it is rejected.

Accepted Solution

Hi @james_johnston_4d5h8woi6a7ga -

Sorry for the late reply, we are working through a backlog.

I have now resubmitted on your behalf and approved.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Thank you. I think one of your reviewers has some issues with entries of this nature. I have had several similar entries over the past six months or a year that have been rejected for no obvious reason, using either does not meet guidelines, or cannot be verified. I will be going back through my previous entries to review and re-submit those entries. As a side note, I would suggest a new feature for the IMDB History page where a user could download their entries in a CSV format file, including the final (or current) status of the entry, and, if it was rejected, include the reason. If there is some way to do this already, I would love to know how it works, as it is not obvious.

Note: The download format does not necessarily need to be CSV - any common format would be fine. If we were still able to use IE, I would be able to write something to do this myself, but in this day and age, things are not so easy, so I have put the suggestion out there.

@james_johnston_4d5h8woi6a7ga​ Actually, would you mind posting this as an idea post so other users can vote for it and we can take it to the team in charge?

Cheers!
