Wildly incorrect information in my profile
IMDB had my name wrong, my bio, my age, my credits and now IMDB hides behind a community message board and a
"Pro" paywall to fix. How can this site be allowed to do this?

Edward: Please provide all the details about this problem. The more information you provide, the easier it will be to advise you.
There are a number of people named Edward Baker listed in IMDb (see https://www.imdb.com/find/?q=edward%20baker&s=nm&exact=true), so we will need the link to your page just to look at the problem, much less try to solve it.

I should apologize for the poor attitude towards this but jobs are tight, errors happen, but complete false entries made by an algorithm is inexcusable. I did purchase IMDB PRO like they wanted and fixed what I could. The desktop version looks better but the mobile is still mostly wrong. The simple fact that I have to address this outside of IMDB is red flag enough imo. My next problem is finding URL links to my simple bio information like birth date and city. The issues I have are 1. I am not a VFX artist. I am not from Ohio. 3. I was not born in 1973 4. and most troublesome is the projects this site claims I worked on . I have submitted change orders and deleted what I could. Now I'm waiting to see what is "approved". I cant even figure out how to get my name changed to Ed like it appears in my credits as an alternate.
This kind of misinformation intentional or not can harm someone looking for a gig.

Hi Edward_Baker-
Thank you for provinding the information!
In order for us to help, can you give us more information on the credits on your page and/or post the submission reference numbers for the corrections you have sent?
Will also like to point out that further investigating, the mini-biography submitted was written in first-person which is not allowed, as it should be written in third-person.
You are welcome to review our following Help Guide for Mini-Bios.
Cheers!

On IMDB mobile I am thrilled to see I'm from Mason, Ohio, and am a producer on a bunch of stuff I didn't work on. Kind of happy I am 5 years younger than I had always thought. My desktop page is actually accurate. An idea on how to correct this?
