Hi ind3-

Thanks for reporting this! The incorrect claims to both of those pages have been actioned and removed. Further actions have been taken on the contributor responsible and an escalation of this issue has been raised to respective team. 

The changes will be live on the site shortly for both pages.

The incorrect claims to both of those pages have been actioned and removed. Further actions have been taken on the contributor responsible and an escalation of this issue has been raised to respective team.

And once again he simply reverted the changes.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1401980/

I stated in this thread (which has now been marked Closed):

https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/wrong-page-has-been-claimed/66d56d26f793235586e2e197

The Doors generate a significant amount of revenue annually, and this person apparently thinks that he has some sort of claim to the profits. The only solution that I can see is to cancel his Pro subscription and stop accepting his credit card. Unless you physically prevent him from claiming this or other pages, he's simply not going to stop vandalizing.

Billboard estimates that The Doors' master recording catalog generates nearly $10 million in annual revenue, with band royalties coming to about $4.4 million thanks to a heritage contract, which likely carries a generous 50% royalty payment on streaming licensing.

https://web.archive.org/web/20230207222931/https://www.billboard.com/pro/primary-wave-doors-catalogs-ray-manzarek-robby-krieger/

Because Morrison and The Doors became much more popular in the years following, the value of that royalty stream is reported to have been more than $80 million.

https://www.hackardlaw.com/jim-morrison-who-inherited-his-estate/

Even in 1980, the band was quite profitable:

The surviving Doors—Ray Manzarek, now 41, Robby Krieger, 34, and John Densmore, 35—put out two more perfunctory albums before disbanding in 1974. They still receive some $250,000 apiece annually from their Doors’ work, and the take should double or triple this year.

https://web.archive.org/web/20250403011954/people.com/archive/a-decade-later-the-heirs-of-jim-jimi-and-janis-reap-the-troubled-legacies-of-rock-vol-14-no-25/

In appropriate circumstances, IMDb will terminate the accounts of account holders who are repeat infringers.

Why doesn't this apply in this case?

He has absolutely nothing to do with The Doors. He simply uploads karaoke videos to YouTube.

This is the person who is in the film The Mojo Manifesto.

There are now three name pages.

These have been deleted.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm18093493/

It looks like someone else reported some of the title pages, because they were not actually music videos.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39311754/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39311804/

For example, these aren't actual videos. It's simply him singing to pre-existing music on YouTube with a still photo instead of actual video footage.

The tickets #V1792320475 and #V1648213007 from the above messages have already been corrected, so this is still a separate issue.

Further actions have been taken on the contributor responsible and an escalation of this issue has been raised to respective team. 

Then why do you keep accepting his submissions? I'm assuming it's because he may be readding the false data with different accounts. I've corrected this information numerous times, and it's simply added back. Jim Morrison did not have any children. Why can't you simply prevent any contributor from adding this false information?

(As of now, this has been corrected.)

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0607186/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_ql_1#family

Edit: 

Less than two hours later, the fake family details were added back again.

Also, I thought that photo manipulation like this wasn't allowed. These are simply collages of different images. For example:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm18161951/mediaviewer/rm2904414466/

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm18161951/mediaviewer/rm4196260098/

He's not in these and other photos.

After the above pages were deleted, he simply re-established the account and added the fake credits again.

I don't understand why the names that he creates can't be flagged so that they're not auto-generated. As soon as the page is deleted, he simply creates a new one. For example, a name with "Production" or "Audio" in it will not be added automatically and will usually be rejected.

He also deleted the contact information from the pages for Jim Morrison and The Doors and seems to have changed the "Known for" recommendation for The Doors.

@Maya Thanks, but this still hasn't been completely fixed. The "Music Artist - Actor - Music Department" heading needs to be removed from this page. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0607187/ The "Executive" heading needs to be removed from this page and the individual sections need to be expanded. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1401980/ https://web.archive.org/web/20240822112610/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1401980/ Also, the contact information was never reinstated. https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm0607186/ https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm1401980/ I removed this vandalized link from their official sites. 250421-205258-709000 https://woxikon.co.nz/the-doors-bio-653077/ He's constantly vandalizing Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/155.190.3.8 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/155.190.2.34 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jim_Morrison&diff=prev&oldid=1281673926 As a side note, there's now another person claiming to be Jim Morrison and his bust was recently found. https://pro.imdb.com/news/article/ni65185884/nm0607186 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INXmCe9IUDg
