After some recent auditing, all 465 of those titles are Adult titles. With that in mind, I propose the following two-step process: 1. Merge

Dear IMDb staff, Can you please undo these keyword auto-conversions? main-character-dies ---> death-of-main-character ---> death-of-protagonist gay-main-character --> gay-protagonist and replace the first one with this auto-conversion? main-character-dies ---> death-of-main-character The basic idea

The series Detention (2020- ) had only two keywords, "ghosts" and "students," both of which are incorrect because they are plural. Two attempts to correct them hare not being accepted.

There are 512 titles with this keyword, but, when I recently tried to add it to Lincoln (2012) and 12 Years a Slave (2013), where it is spoken by a character on screen, the additions were rejected.

When it comes to IMDb, I, primarily, think of myself as a librarian and/or researcher. (One of my “first” jobs as a young adult was, literally, the latter.)

Dear IMDb staff (@Michelle and @Bethanny): I have a couple keyword items that should be resolved. 1. First, the keyword "us" should be blocked from the system given its inherent vagueness. us (14 titles) I just finished "auditing" the "us" keyword. Of the 14 instances of that keyword, 11 were intend

Can IMDb staff please reverse this previous mass merger and auto-conversion? The new proposal is displayed below, with the arrows indicating the direction of the proposed new merger. u.s.-history (700 titles) --> american-history [former keyword that is currently blocked] Hopefully it is easy to mak

Hi, For the last 2 days, each of my keyword submissions has been pending whenever I submit something and then declined on grounds of not meeting contribution guidelines. Even for words like swimming pool, childbirth etc. Have I been blocked by mistake or something @Bethanny? If so, please remove my
